Installation problem

Hi,

I installed Notes 8.5 succesfully, but the application crashes everytime I try to start. First time I tried to install over 8.0.2, then I uninstalled everything, deleted the notes folder and start a clean installation, same problem. Usually I can upgrade without any problem, so I am not used to read the nsd file. What I am supposed to look at? Here is a part of the file:

Install/as/ml

Subject: Thanks - XP vs Vista?

I tried at home with the same file, it worked. One of my co-worker also installed 8.5 without any problem. Both succesfull installation were with Vista. My laptop is running on XP. I don’t know if it’s related…

Subject: My colleague found the solution!

In case somebody has the same problem. The faulty one is wmiprvse.exe which is Windows Management Instrumentation service. Disable the service, Notes works. Enable it, doesn’t work. To keep the service running with Notes, the magic trick is to rename the directory WINDOWS/system32/wbem/repository to another name.
