Subject:
WHAT REGISTRY KEY NEEDS TO BE DELETED TO ALLOW LANTASTIC 8.0 TO BE REINSTALLED ON WINDOWS NT, 2000 OR XP?

Solution:
Background:
If an uninstall of LANtastic 8.0 fails for some reason, it is possible that LANtastic will not reinstall and the following message will be displayed: "Setup has found a previous installation of LANtastic on this computer. You must remove all previous versions of LANtastic before continuing with Setup."
Cause: All Registry keys for LANtastic 8.0 were not removed by the LANtastic 8.0 uninstall.
Solution:
1. FIRST - BACKUP THE REGISTRY! The changes that follow are in the Windows NT/2000/XP Registry and such changes could leave the computer in an unbootable state if not done properly. If such a problem occurs it is important that a backup of the Registry exist, or else it may be necessary to reinstall the Windows operating system and all other programs again.
2. Run Regedit on the Windows NT/2000/XP computer where you want to reinstall LANtastic and delete the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet\Services\Afsd
3. Reboot and reinstall LANtastic 8.0
4. In some situations, LANtastic may not install all components properly, but no error occurs during installation. This may occur when the network installation portion of the install appears to occur too quickly. In this case, after re-installing LANtastic, restart, and uninstall LANtastic. Then restart, and re-install LANtastic again. This time the network installation portion of the install should complete normally.
NOTE: It is critical that no programs, virus checkers, or other utilities are running while LANtastic is being installed.
