    Aborted Program Installation Keeps Asking at Start Up

    Hello, I started installing Veoh Web Player but decided to abort the installation. Now, every time I boot up, I get a message asking:

    A previous software installation was not completed. Would you like to continue installing Veoh?

    I've tried everything I can think of. Even installed Veoh. But kept getting the message, even after Veoh was installed. Then I removed Veoh using uninstall in Control Panel and I still get the message every time I start up.

    How can I get rid of this for good? Thanks!

    It's probably hanging in your registry. Not being all that familiar with it, you could try Registry Cleaner Software Downloads at RegSofts.com to clear it out. Be sure to make the program to create a restoration point in "Options".

    Thanks but I had a really bad experience with registry cleaners once and would prefer not to go that route. If you (or anyone) could point me in the right direction of where in the registry this Veoh remnant might be, I think I'd recognize it.

    The program should be listed here; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
    You may want to try a "System Restore" to a point before you first installed Voeh

    Hope this helps
