However, I have traced all of them not to Microsoft but to Symantec. Specifically the home version, Norton (included in 360). It stops the installer from removing place holder registry keys and as result Windows fails at enumerating certain things like network devices, my computer, etc. A note: symantec endpoint, McAfee, and AVG don't seem to do this. To install safely, simply disable auto-protect. <BR/><BR/>A note, other problems have been traced to AMD and Intel drivers that do things that they're not supposed to.<BR/><BR/>Before you go off blaming Microsoft for all your problems, remember: there are a lot of drivers and software that control how your system works at a fundamental level that Microsoft has nothing to do with. Its not Microsoft's fault that Intel, AMD, Symantec, et al didn't test their software against the release cannidate and release updates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
