| | Sharepoint Services and Vista Install I'm trying to upgrade my WindowsXP workstation to Vista. I can't get past the compatibility check. No matter what I do or uninstall it keeps telling me that "Close Windows installation, go to Programs, and uninstall the following programs: Windows SharePoint Services", I don't have it listed in my Add/Remove programs list. I uninstalled every Office product on my machine. I deleted every registry entry I could think of. I do not know how to get past this step. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks |

| | RE: Sharepoint Services and Vista Install yes, look under c:\program files for something like sts_setup or similiar folder. Delete the folder and continue.

| | RE: Sharepoint Services and Vista Install That's the same solution posted all over the net and might work for some but I have no "sts_" anything on the machine and still get the same error. If this is as prevalent as it seems, why doesn't MS have a solution somewhere? "Ronnie Duquette" wrote: Quote: > yes, look under c:\program files for something like sts_setup or similiar > folder.
