    Problems installing MS products

    I use WinXP, and haven't had this problem before:

    Whenever I try to install an MS product, it freezes... A few weeks ago I managed to install 1 product... after 20+ reboots, now I've got two I can't install... one of them is actually just a small patch for a game... a game published my MS


    Has anyone experienced this before?

      I'd recommend installing Portage or apt .

          How old are these products? Not all older programs work with XP I am afraid.

              Have you changed the hardware configuration of your computer to a significant extent?

                I actually don't use any software from microsoft... and I can't think of any that I own...

                Oh right, windows media player. I use that a couple times every month on average, I suppose.

                  oh jeez

                  they all install fine

                  your case is either a fluke or you are one of those anti-MS people

                  Try installing the GNU crap and go through all that libc and GTK circular crap.

                        Only an idiot or a masochist with a lot of free time would do that. We do have package managers you know!
