We got a new guy in our area recently, and I have been working with him to get all the required software packages installed. Due to the number of people, and the equipment we have installed, we are not running all the newest versions of software, Logix v16, ME v5.00. One of our group members has been pushing for newer versions, so to make a long story short, some of the newer software got installed before ME v5.00.
When we went to install ME 5.00, Factorytalk services platform would not install because v2.50 was already on the computer. Since ME was looking for v2.10, we tried to un-install v2.50 so we could install 2.10, then re-install 2.50. This is when things went south. Either the 2.50 un-install or the 2.10 install got hung up, and now I cannot successfully uninstall v2.10.
I've tried un-installing everything Rockwell from the computer and starting over, but something is still there that the un-installer, and Microsoft's windows installer cleanup can't seem to get rid of. Rsvchost.exe seems to be one thing we cannot get rid of no matter what we do.
Rsvchost.exe is not on the computer, yet Windows is trying to run it. Is there some registry cleaning needed to fix this problem? I REALLY wish Rockwell's installers worked better, and that there was better backwards compatibility (IE: having v2.50 installed would satisfy software looking for v2.10)
