Error code 1603

Just recently, I downloaded version 7.1 for my Wireless Mouse Explorer v.2
and tried to install it. It does not ending in an error code 1603. I
investigated that error code and found no helpful explanation under
Microsoft's support except for the extraordinary helpful hint that this
error is by design ...HuuH? What a BS. I followed all instruction by
removing Intellipoint, did a Clean up afterwards etc. Still no success. I
had to install the old version 6,2 and even this caused some problems. At
one time I had a MS techie from India on the phone and he saw what happened
and could not help telling me that many people have this problem and I
should wait until NS comes up with a solution in the future. In opinion that
was BS too. Can anyone offer comment or solution to this.

My opinion, MS should be beaten up for such a stupid thing to design and
program this. What were these academic idiots thinking?

Talk's cheap. You should hie yourself to Redmond and beat the first MS
employee you see about the head and shoulders.

That'll teach 'em.

There are some ideas here. Your OS may not match what they're using, but
with some screwing around, you may be able to fix it.
