   2. Type %TEMP% and press Enter.
   3. Select and delete all files.
3. Reinstall the latest version of Windows Installer. For more information and a for download link, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 942288.
4. Run the installer of the currently installed version of Workstation and choose Repair. When complete, restart the PC and run the setup for the new version of Workstation.
5. If you are running Windows XP, reregister the Microsoft installer. From a command prompt, enter these two commands:

   MSIExec /unregister
MSIExec /regserver

   Note: For more information on command prompts, see Opening a command or shell prompt (1003892).

6. Use the Windows System Configuration (msconfig) utility to disable all non-Microsoft startup utilities. For more information, see Using the Windows System Configuration utility (1004010). Restart Windows, so that only the enabled Microsoft services are running.
7. From the command prompt, run this command:
   sfc /SCANNOW

   For more information on this command, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 929833.

8. Create a new user user account with administrative privileges and log in as the new user. For more information, see:

• Windows Vista – The Microsoft article Create a user account
• Windows 7 – The Microsoft article Create a user account
