MS ActiveSync

Hi,

2nd problem of the day!
I am trying to install MS ActiveSync 3.8. I downloaded the exe from the ms site, try to install it, but it only gets as far as extracting a few files and doesnt come up with the actuall install box and no Program Files folders are created for it. It just gets stuck and does nothing after the set of file extractions (I left it for at least 10 mins and nothing). Any ideas whats stopping me installing it?

Cheers

have you made sure you have the latest version of windows installer, think the latest is version 3.1

A guy at work has a similar problem, the install gets to 92% then stops. ActiveSync technically isn't supported at work though.

thanks for the quick replys,

@antc, how can I check and where can I download the latest version?

@Whitewater, mine doesn't get as far as the installer, it just extracts all the dlls etc and then does nothing

really irritating

edit: looked in add/remove progs and yes I do have win install v 3.1

go into add/remove programs and near the bottom where all the hotfixes are it will tell you mate.

the latest version can be downloaded by doing a windows update.

hope this helps
