Hate....Microsoft....so....much.....
on: March 13, 2004, 11:32:03 am
My MSI thingy is boned beyond belief.

It *****es at me no matter what I do. This means I can't install MAX6.

So I do the sensible thing and go search ms.com for a troubleshooting thing. I find one. It says "You've probably screwed it somehow, so download Windows Installer 2.0 from the Microsoft site and it should fix everything".

Okay, I think, I'll go to the site and search for the download.

I find the Windows Installer 2.0 download pages in mere seconds. But I can't download the packages. Because for some stupid ****ing reason, despite telling me about 50 times in the troubleshooter than I should download and install the XP version of Windows Installer 2.0, all I get on the download pages are "There is no download for XP because the Windows Installer 2.0 is included in XP".

Fan. ****ing. Tastic.


Any ideas, peeps?

Well, the re-registering thing seems to have worked.

That's pretty high praise Singh. Last I heard there were only five or so on that list.

I absolutely hate the websites of large corporations. Sony's site, for example... good luck trying to find the driver that allows you to see your CyberShot camera's Memory Stick as a regular removeable drive in W2k.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
