Received my CD today and tried to install over my downloaded version 3.0.0.612DL. After ticking off the desired components etc., the installation came to an inexplicable halt. (BTW, this is the identical behaviour I had when attempting 4-weeks back to upgrade my DL version to the Jan 16, 2007 version posted at the Xara site).

I then thought I would Add|Remove the program only to discover that the DL version doesn't appear on the Add|Remove list!? This, in spite of the fact that I load the program all the time off a shortcut on my desktop or via the Windows|All Programs route where the program does appear.

I'm currently assuming that when I uninstalled my regular registered Xara Xtreme version 6-weeks back, this may have corrupted a registry and hence the mystery.

Now I'm in unchartered waters with the CD in hand and nowhere to go.

Any suggestions as to how to proceed from here.

Much appreciated.
