Win 7 and failed 5.56 install

[athegn]

I have clean installed Windows 7, Home Premium 32 bit, on my Dell laptop.

I have not yet run any sound software, or running anything else whilst trying to install, but hit problems when I tried to install Winamp Pro 5.56. Tried to install, hit problem, uninstalled (*see below), reinstalled hit problem then uninstalled (*see below) again!

Early on in install I got this mesage:-

---------------------------
Winamp Installer
---------------------------
There was a problem installing components. CD Ripping/Burning may not function properly.. '-1'
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

*When I try to uninstall the broken Winamp I need to manually remove:-

C: \ Program Files\Winamp;-

Plugins folder
Elevator.exe
elevatorps.dll
nscrt.dll

Plugins folder is removed but the others will not delete with the message that a file is open in Elevator.exe. A reboot cures this problem.


The other software I have, so far, installed and is working ok, is Photoshop Elements 7 and Firefox browser.

I did have 5.56 pro running on the previous OS; Vista Home Premium.

Since this install/uninstall of Winamp I have successfully installed Open Office 3.1.1

Any advice please?
