Description:        will not install
Details:

I keep getting an error message:
"An error occured executing the Microsoft VC++ runtime installer" This
computer has MS Visual Studion 2005 and I also went ot Microsoft and updated
the CV++ runtimes.
I found an install string in your support forum adn it tried to install, but
I received another error message near the end of hte installation process.
The program itself won't connect to the local host server. On and on and
on.

I'm somewhat disapointed that the Best Database in the World won';t even
install?

Any thoughts?

If you want useful suggestions, a bit more detail is needed.

Well, it installs just fine for most users; so the question is:
what's different in your case?  You need to give us a lot more
detail to be able to determine that.
