Re: [Condor-users] "ExeCaKeyF04" error

["M.L.Russell" <M.L.Russell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I was getting this problem a lot recently trying to install Condor as the 
supplied MSI, through Active Directory. It kept coming up with this same 
error. I thought that there was a problem with the downloaded MSI file that 
I had obtained. I uninstalled condor through the usual "Add/Remove 
programs", then rebooted the machines, manually removed the c:\condor 
directory and then used RegEdit to remove the HKLM/software/condor (or 
whatever it's path was) from the registry. I downloaded a fresh version of 
the MSI, and reapplied the new MSI to the machines through AD. It's worked 
without a problem on the PCs since. I know that it might be a silly 
question, but have you checked the Event Viewer log to see if there were 
any other errors on the PCs before the Condor install - just in case it got 
caught up with something before hand? I've had the Windows Installer mess 
up before, which has caused all sorts of issues in other software installs 
at a later point?

If you do find out the cause for the problem, can you let the mailing list 
know, as it sounds like a bit of a bugbear!?

Cheers,
Mark Russell
