I was trying to upgrade 2.x to 3.0: I wanted to replace/overwrite 2.x with
3.0. Had I been willing to go parallel, no problem.

The first key should have value the directory where GI was installed.

Look for files in the root of E then. (You'll probably have to look inside
each and every one to see if any came from GI and/or ADC.) DELETE any such
found.

Neither. CDBurn *is* the ADC cirectory, and the other is for CDRTools. They
should wind up in parallel in the diredtory where you pointed the install,
E:\Apps in my case (D: is boot, F: is data). CWInst winds up where you point
the GI self-install (E:\Utilities, in my case).

Remove (delete permanently) this directory and ALL its contents, reboot, and
try again.

>I have no CDBurn directory.

You shouldn't until there's been a completely successful install.

As I learned with PMView, it's like Seek-and-Destroy: you know you've
completed the mission when the install works normally (and/or nominally, as
you prefer).
