Oh goodie

Cyberlink gave me the URL to download the full installation file. Then the damned thing wouldn't install. Kept having the same installation error.

I dug in like a tick, and managed to find the right phrasing for search terms, and finally, after several hours figured it out myself!

Should anyone else have this problem, this is what needs to be done if running Windows 7.

Install Windows Installer Clean up and run it - Remove YouCam 3.0.0.0 from the list.

This is the trickier part, as you have to disable Windows 7 Rollback function by editing the registry. Unlike Vista or XP, the roll back function isn't even listed in the registry, so you have to manually add it.

Here is a link to a step by step with images.

Follow the instructions, then reboot. Proceed with installation.

This disabling of the the rollback can be removed afterward, or just edited to a 0 to re-enable the rollback function.

Time to take a break.
