I've installed beta on 3 computers, installed b1, b2, b3. I've uninstalled and reinstalled to try to document some things happening during install. 32 bit, 64 bit, Win7 and Vista. Desktop and laptop. So I've installed beta a number of times.
Of those, I think 2 installations were clean and went the way they were supposed to go the first time. The rest of them had something wierd happen. My solution has been uninstall and reinstall. Reboot and reinstall. Reformat, reinstall Windows and reinstall.
I don't expect anyone to solve the problem for me, I just want the issue solved generally. If I'm having these problems, so are others. I've wasted a lot of time doing this. Installation should be a basic function you can count on.
