Answer 1

Have you tried redownloading the installer?

Answer 2

Hi Chuck,

I did downlod it again. I uninstalled completely and tried to reinstall but failed every single time. Weird thing is I do see Blend installed.

I am not sure if it has anything to do with my PC, this is free laptop everyone received at PDC 2009 running Windows 7 Ultimate beta. I installed on other PC with Windows 7 Enterprise & everything installed just fine.

Thanks,

Salil

Answer 3

What OS is the laptop running currently? I would assume any Win7 betas are long expired?
