4 years of lurking...bad wingman, bad.

After 4 years of lurking and being able to take care of my self, I need help. I have just fdisked and reinstalled win 98se, now when I try to install wingman 4.11 drivers it fails 3/4s through giving me the message, "error executed the specified program" "msieexec.exe" /i "wingman software.msi" next warning; Unable to execute the specified command...ok I tried installing ME, and the wingman s/w installs and wheel works, but ran into more probs than it was worth. 98 does this over and over. any ideas? thanks sb xp1600 256 ddr ecs k7s5a 32 geforce mx

Did you install the MS Installer file first? You need to do that or Wingman software won't install properly. Search for 'instmsi.exe' or email me and I can send it to you. Its about 1.4mb in lenght. I believe Logitech has a link on there site to it. scott banac wrote:

You need to upgrade the Windows Installer before adding the WingMan software. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=32831 Why lurk BTW? -It's much more fun to post! ;-) Jan. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn.

I think you also have to be running dx8 to run the 4.11 drivers. steve --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.307 / Virus Database: 168 - Release Date: 11/12/2001

Hi Scott, > After 4 years of lurking and being able to take care of my self So you've read posts about other people's probs for 4 years without offering help one single time although apparently you must be quite knowledgeable, and now you expect others to help you? Tsk tsk ;-) Achim

Or he could have been in the same boat I was :) Until 1999, there wasn't even a local ISP offered in the boondocks of Idaho where I live(heck, POWER wasn't even here until the early 70's, lol). I lurked here for years.......but it was very quickly/selective due to it was costing me per minute at the time. Also, once a local ISP finally did show up, it didn't offer a news reader/server/access until this year!?! I had to just read through deja and then google search engines, etc. Who knows. -John Joachim Trensz <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9vakf2$e25o4$[email hidden]... > Hi Scott, > > > After 4 years of lurking and being able to take care of my self > > So you've read posts about other people's probs for 4 years withoutoffering > help one single time although apparently you must be quite knowledgeable, > and now you expect others to help you?

Hi John, yep, I know, and I didn't want to be mean or anything. I just couldn't refrain from making this little joke :-) Achim "John Pancoast" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Or he could have been in the same boat I was :) Until 1999, therewasn't > even a local ISP offered in the boondocks of Idaho where I live(heck,POWER > wasn't even here until the early 70's, lol). > I lurked here for years.......but it was very quickly/selective due toit

Yes, and DX8 must be installed and active *before* the wingman software. Took me 2 days to sort this out. JensSchumi On Thu, 13 Dec 2001 21:18:50 +1100, "Steve Whitty" <[email hidden]> wrote:
