Earlier I tried to install PPA 2005, the power went out and so I have had to start over. Now when I try to install, I get the screen to repair, remove, etc. If I choose one of those options I get an error 1605 - "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." The problem is that I can't get the screen to install. I suppose some part of it was installed before the power outage, but I don't know what or how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Debbie

I believe you'll have to go into your system32 folder in Windows and find the Installer folder. After that, search for any files ending in .msi and pull up the properties.
If the author of the file is Peachtree, delete it and then try the installation again. If that fails, you'll need the latest edition of the MSI utility if you're running Windows XP.
