[04/07/11,14:19:22] WapUI: [2] DepCheck indicates XPSEPSC Installer is not installed.

Have repeatedly cleaned up with Stebner's cleanup tool and reinstalled 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 which all go in OK, plus patches.

Thank you for any suggestions. - easyb

Thanks. Cleaned, re-downloaded .Net Framework 3.5 sp1 and installed yet again with the
same results.

why not pass on some points for the effort. I know its not the answers you wanted but it would be kind to do.

The solution was to rebuild the system, working from a clone in
good condition which was easier than a naked reinstall.

Thanks for the effort.

sorry for your troubles, but system rebuilds are sometimes the best and only options.

Rebuilding a system is never easy. The trick is to recognize when to proceed with the "nuclear" option before you reach the point of diminishing returns looking for a fix.
