update fails

So some reason, when I run Windows update, Windows update tries to run a program called qfinder.exe. Qfinder.exe is a program from Corel. I have removed all versions of qfinder from my machine. I have also removed all qfinder locations in the registry. Is there a way to disassociate qfinder.exe from Windows update?
thanks

You do a format or reinstall Corel, and make sure this time during setting, deselect "Qfinder.exe" if it is listed in the customized install options. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

I did a custom un-install of various Corel products to remove the qfinder or quick finder program. After posting this message, I went though the registry again. I found some remnants of the QuickFinder program. I deleted about 15 differnt registry settings. Now Windowes update "can run" but it won't finish proprely. Nor do I have any idea what is coming down. No details.

This looks like a compatibility issue from Corel's side, I would contact them about support under Windows Vista, updates, patches. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Hummm...are we starting to see a pattern here? Vista b5365 and IE 7b2 both have broken Adobe updater that worked in previous IE 7b's and Vista builds. Frank

So its an issue with their update plugin's and IE 7, they need to update it to support IE 7. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

5365 is the first build I've used from 4 on that it has been broken. Whose to blame? Frank

This is expected since its still beta, you never know, it might be working again in BETA 2. Also note that 5365 is an interim release not a CTP so it does not provide the same level of stability and compatibility. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

And they keep moving that RTM sign farther down the road. Frank

Who says? The last time I heard, RTM is sometime in the second half of 2006, the expected release dates are November 2006 and January 2007, Business and Consumer respectively. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta
