Bentley CD-ROM (VWCR) installing problems

[Rpmayne 0]

Has anyone else bought the Bentley CD-ROM from ebay? I had it running on my PC with no problems, then I got short of space so had to temporarily remove the program. I did this through add/remove programs, then it said it failed so I deleted the directory. Now when I go to setup it asks for the language to install, but once its been selected nothing else happens. In desperate need of the information with my motor apart, I know it wasn't the best time to be removing the program but never thought I would have trouble re-installing it.

Hmmm, maybe its left stuff in the registry, a program like Norton Cleansweep may help??

Long Shot. Try de installing any software that was loaded after the Bentley CD, this may have overwritten a DLL or two.

Incase anyone else is having trouble with this;

 

Although I had used the unistall then deleted the main directory when it failed, traces were left in step 3 of the instructions below. I'd advise saving the registry as another name as a backup just incase. Once I did the following it installed no problem:

 

If you want to totally delete the presence of the cd on the hard drive:

 

1. Search for, and Remove the lines in the software areas of the

registry that contain "Bentley", including children.

 

2. Search for, and Remove the lines in the software areas of the

registry that contain "vwcr" (check carefully on this one)

 

3. In winnt\system32, remove all entries of vwcr*.*, and rb*.* (check

carefully each one)

 

Empty the recyle bin, restart, login as administrator, empty the

recycle bin again, shutdown, restart again, empty the recyle bin. There is a

vestige kept in memory which re-applies an amendment the hosts.* file,

hence this naff step.
