Subject:
AFTER CANCELLING AN INSTALL, A LANTASTIC MESSAGE SAYS THERE IS AN EXISTING VERSION AND WILL NOT RE-INSTALL.

Solution:
When a LANtastic install is cancelled the registry key may already be imported that indicates it is installed on the machine. This key can also remain after a failed uninstall.
Removing the two registry keys will allow an install to continue.
1. BACKUP THE REGISTRY! Go to the Start button and choose Run, and put REGEDIT in the Open box.
Click the OK button and the Registry Editor will start. From the Registry menu item choose to Export the Registry.
2. Once the registry has been backed up, restart REGEDIT. Navigate by clicking the + (plus) symbol next to the following items: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
In here, you will see a folder (key) named LTNP32. Remove this folder. You will also see a Lantastic folder (key). Click on the + next to Lantastic and you should see several folders (keys) beneath it. One should be AFSD. Remove this folder as well
At this point, close the registry editor and reboot the computer. You should now be able to install LANtastic 8.0.
