Uninstalling Web App

I am in the process of building a Web Setup Project and
once I figured out how to get rid of the "The system
cannot open the device or file specified" error things
were going fine.

Then, for apparently no good reason, it just decided that
I cannot uninstall the application. I cannot reinstall it
to test anything new until I successfully uninstall the
old version. Any ideas??

The error I'm getting is: "The installer was interrupted
before [my application] could be removed. You need to
restart the installer to try again." Then when I click
Close, a messagebox pops up "Fatal error during
installation"

Hello,

Please try the following:

1. Reboot the machine to see whether it helps.

2. Try the package on another machine, does the problem occur?

3. If you get a verbose log by running it from the following command line,
you might get more information that may help.

msiexec /i mysetup.msi /l*v mylog.txt

If you have any questions, please reply to this post.
