More info?)
got nervous at first when i saw that article. it can crash with 1.5.0.11
but i have 1.5.5
i found the problem. the domain administrator has roaming profile.
apparently, unlike most software, this msi puts the config/uninstall info
within the user profile, not with the system. the uninstall is found in
HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\current version\uninstall instead of HKLM.
i tried it as local administrator and installed fine.
