I've been having problems installing ANYTHING in the last several days. Including Messenger live, the update for world of warcraft, and more.
With the returned error codes, found many fixes on the net, involving renaming system files, or removing them. Unregistering services, rerunning them. Registry edits. Software uninstall. Driver updates.
Nothing worked.
Come to find out, by chance - the CLOCK on my computer was set to some 2220 year, and windows media player alerted me about it, saying it could not run.
I changed the date and EVERYTHING works now.
WHY? Why would that stop anything from running? Some built in MS safeguard?
Why was the date changed? WHAT changed it? Surely I didnt.
Hum.
