   That’s because if it worked right in Windows then something obviously went wrong!

   of course it’s a failure,

   success & success => success
   failure & failure => failure
   success & failure => failure

   doesn’t howtogeek require kindergarten degree?

   Shhh….don’t feed the troll. ;)

   And I can’t even begin to count how many times I’ve installed Windows updates or Office, had it tell me the installation failed, and then have the Office programs or updates working fine. I think Microsoft is hiring only pessimist programmers. We’re probably not too far off from seeing the message, “your disk is half empty”.
