Default Ikernel stops responding during uninstallation

Hello,

I have a SigmaTel IrDA USB adapter and have previously just plugged it in
and let win98se try to search the necessary files for installation. I have
recently learnt that this is not the right way, although the IrDA dongle
actually works as expected, as in allowing me to connect my cell phone to
the PC. I first remove the Infrared device from the Device Manager. Then I
tried to uninstall the SigmaTel IrDA adapter from the Add/Remove Program.
However, the uninstallation would stop after around 8%. Then I pressed
ctrl-alt-del to end the process. When I tried to dismiss the Add/Remove
Program, there was no response. So I pressed ctrl-alt-del again. This time,
an Ikernel showed up in the task list and it was not responding. So I
selected it and ended it. Then another dialog box came up:

Title: SigmaTel USB-IR Adapter
Message: Setup fails to run: Remote procedure call fails.

It is always this whenever I try to uninstall it again.

When I tried to run the setup program from the CD, it still asked me if I
wanted to uninstall, rather than letting me installing it over the original
files.

Any way to either:

1. enable me to uninstall the files; or
2. just to install the files over those already installed previously.

Thanks in advance

Herbert

You probably need to install the latest MS installation program.

I am using win98se. And I actually think that I can still install and
uninstall other programs. Only the uninstallation of this IrDA USB Adapter
is causing me headaches.

So according to below, I should just delete the folder that holds the
installshield files?? Will this affect other install/uninstall programs?

TIA

Hello,

I have this idea:

So I have this "SigmaTel USB-IR Adapter" on the Add/Remove Program list. If
I'm able to remove this entry from the list, and to fool the setup program
that accompanies the dongle not to know that I have previously installed it,
although in an improper way, before, I may then be able to proceed with the
installation.

Is this possible and how should I go about it?

Thanks in advance.

I do not know anything about "SigmaTel USB-IR Adapter".
Can you not just disable it in the start up or in your tasks lists?

Run MSCONFIG from the start/run applet and look under "StartUp tab" see is
you can disable it from there. Then if all is ok set it up again.

It may actually be just some unnecessary insistence of mine.

I've before been able to use the Infrared dongle, but I recently read the
manual on the CD accompanying the dongle and found out that I haven't
installed it the right way, which was to run the setup first before plugging
in the dongle. I have plugged it in and let win98se search for the necessary
files.

So I now want to uninstall it and reinstall it in the proper way.

If I can't find a way to remove it, I may just plug it in and let win98se
install it again.

I've solved it. I've used the Add Remove Plus! 2004 to remove the entry from
the Add/Remove Program list and I was then able to proceed with the
installation.

However, it was actually a non-problem as I found nothing different from
when I've installed the dongle in the "improper" way.

Anyway, thanks.
