    Removing failed Install artifacts

    I had a setup install fail on me for some reason which is
    not clear. I had to kill the install because it got
    stuck... I killed it using Windows Task Manager.

    So now I can not make another setup install file that
    will run because the system thinks there is already a
    install in process.

    How can I clean out the artifacts of the previously
    failed install from my computer?

    I tried to work around the blockade by making a wholly
    new set up project with a different msi name but i could
    not fool the Windows program install system. He still
    thinks I am trying to install the same program... which I
    am!

    Thanks!

    Bob
