im really pissed right now and rather then rant im just going to try to list what happened in chronological order. this is a windows xp machine i figure this is a pretty tech literate forum so i figured i would try asking here before moving to other sources. and please - i am pissed off as it is i dont want to hear any mac fanboy crap.
- i uninstalled some of the crap that apple piggybacks on itunes install (namely bonjour)
- itunes stops working due to my excisions
- i go to use ableton, and i use a novation automap controller. the automap server fails launch due to an inability to find dnssd.dll
- i look up dnssd.dll on google and see that it is a bonjour/apple extension.
so...
- i uninstall itunes all together.
- bonjour still shows up on the add/remove programs list and will not uninstall nor will it delete itself from the list saying because it cannot find the msi file. the bonjour folder does not exist any more in program files.
- now everytime i try to reinstall bonjour or itunes the process cant be completed because the computer insists it cannot remove an old file that doesnt even exist
frankly at this point i dont even care about getting itunes back, i just want automap to work again
