I can not install Colemak.

Hello. I have Windows XP Professional.
All my problems started when I installed  .net framework software.  I needed the software because I wanted to use (The Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator MKLC)
Now I can't install any software on my computer.
I managed to use 'restore' point to get rid of .net framework software.  But version 2 will not uninstall.
Now I tried to install Colemak software (colemak.com) which uses a .msi file.

Please see below for error message:


Error reading from file: C:\DOCUME~1\Jag\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 5 for Colemak-1.0[1].zip\i386\Colemak.dll.  Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.

Make sure that all the files have been correctly unzipped.

Re: I can not install Colemak.

Doesn't everyone and his dog have .NET on their comps these days? It shouldn't be uninstalled, as lots of apps may want to use it; it's like having Java on your machine. I have both a couple of 1.# and the 2.0 versions myself.

I shouldn't think that .NET itself is to blame for your problems. Try cleaning out your temp files as best you can, and like Shai said don't just open a zip archive and run something from within it but unpack it properly first and then run the installer.

Re: I can not install Colemak.

Thanks for your help.  I unzipped the files and now everything's working great.  I've kept .NET framework version 2.0 on the computer.
