CW 6.0 faill to complete install on Win XP

Hi, I could not install the new CW 6.0 on several attempts and on two different PC's with Win. XP (home edition). It gets to about 90% of the install when fails during the drivers install level. At that point the CW 6.0 starts a rollback and de-install itself. I want to know if it is a common failure and what is the remedy for a clean install. Previous versions 5.xx were OK and I have removed them before trying to install the new 6.0. Thanks

Hello
 
Just my 10 cents on that one.
 
Make sure you disconnect and USB target interfaces (Multilnk, CyclonePro, InDart, ....) from the Host PC before you install V 6.0.
 
If the USB driver is in use, the installer might have trouble to install the updated drivers.

Hi,
 
I nerver meet similar problem.
I installed the tool on my side on XP sp2 whitout problem.
 
Can I suggest you to follwow the clean process below ?
 
please perform the following clean up operation, step by step:
 
0) If you have programs that startup up after reboot, these programs should be disabled before attempting the procedure below.  This reduces possible variables causing the problem and aids in this troubleshooting clean-up.  
 
1) Backup your license.dat files in another location
 
2) reboot
 
3) completely uninstall all CodeWarrior installations from the machine, every last one of them
 
4) go out and delete any leftover CodeWarrior folders if the uninstall did not remove them.
 
5) delete all CodeWarrior prefs (the uninstall gives this option but also check to see if any old prefs exist after uninstall -- they exist in the ususal Windows locations for application prefs )
 
6) After all CW is removed, reboot the machine.
 
7) Perform a scandisk and a defragmentation of the installation drive (and the C: drive as well if codewarrior is not installed there)
 
8) Reboot again
 
9) Now do a clean installation of our tools,  restore the license.dat file and in the .\bin\ subfolder of your installation, execute the regsever.bat
 
10) Reboot again
 
On a normal machine, there should be no problems with the above procedure - this will help us isolate possible outside influences like corrupted registry, bad Windows install, and such.  If it all works as predicted, then we've eliminated all install issue variables and erased any possible corrupted CodeWarrior install.
 
If all goes well,  the installation is clean and new and ready for evaluation of the problem.  But first, please go through the process above and then let us know how it goes.
 
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
All the reboots in the above procedure -- these are necessary, especially in this sort of clean-up situation.  This is the only way to ensure the machine starts at square one at each stage and reduces all variables.
