Reinstallation

[srd]

ON 2007 needs Windows Desktop Search Beta 3 if you are going to use
search, and who wouldn't? When I installed the first time a couple of days
ago, I uninstalled upon learning that WDS Beta 3 was needed and
anticipating I was going to have trouble installing it. Well, these things
become obsessional. I found the KB article on installation problems for
the search utility. As I expected, it was a matter of permission issues,
which I laboriously resolved.

The 'verbose logging'--hey, I just learned a new, funny computer
term--should be a bit more loquacious. You learn which key created
problems but it doesn't check for others, maybe can't, and so you have to
keep installing and correcting until it flies. Sometimes you see patterns
and can do a bunch of them without looking. Hopefully there's no great
harm in giving the Administrator privileges unnecessarily, but then why
not allow the user to do a Select All in the registry and just give the
Administrator control over all the keys--

Anyway, having _finally_ installed the search beta, I went to reinsntall
OneNote 2007. Which installation failed. Since I doubt my giving away
Permissions caused OneNote's setup to fail, it seems likely that the
process of installing it previously caused the problem. I recall someone
else reporting that they couldn't reinstall OneNote 2007. Since the log
didn't mention the now well-practiced registry key permission corrections,
I was helpless to resolve the problem.

As I am having serious troubles with DesktopSearch not being properly
installed:
Would you pls be so kind as let me know with KB article you are
referring to?

AFAICS there's no such issues on my side as I installed as user with
Admin-rights.

1. I solved my reinstallation and searching woes by first backing up:
a.
File:\\C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\Administrator\My%20Documents\OneNote%20Notebooks
b.
File:\\C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\Administrator\Application%20Data\Microsoft\OneNote\12.0
c. Windows registry
d. Setting a new restore point
2. Opening the windows registry with regedit. I then did a "find" of
the word OneNote and deleted any entry containing the word.
3. Rebooted
4. Downloaded another copy of the ON 12 from Microsoft
5. Reinstalled ON12.
6. Opened up OneNote and let it index overnight.

Everything is back to normal. I am a happy camper.

In case I try this again--what if any order of installation seems to give
a better chance of success, wds birst, ON second or the other way around?

Thanks, srd.
I had found through the link on the splipstick site.

Unfortunately the KB article did not help me.
I can easily install and uninstall ON as well as WDS without any
errors appearing.
But *my* problem does not go away.
Whenever I open ON on my TabletPC (everything OK on my desktop) I
always receive the error-message that the "Windoes desktop Search
system-component was not installed properly".
I have no idea on what else to try.

Thanks again
