Visual Studio 2003 Setup faild

There might be a lot of reasons why Visual Studio 2003 setup failed on your machine.

So, the best practice to trace the error is always refer to the "Installation_Log.txt".

If you found something like the following error message:

RunMSI.exe exited with return value 1601.
Error code 1601 for this component means "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.


Then, you must do the following to resolve this error:

a). Install the Windows Installer 3.1 or Windows Installer 4.5

b). Redo the Visual Studio 2003 setup

Firefox Version 3.0 released...!

Finally, the latest version of Firefox is released.

Below are some of the improvements that you can see in the latest release:

a). Whenever you sort your bookmarks, the bookmarks menu will not disappear by itself anymore (Great!).

b). One screen to display more contents. More than 2/3 of the interface of the browser is used to display the contents of the websites that you are surfing. Enjoy?

c). Speeding. I can feel that the speed to load a page is more faster than the Microsoft Internet Explorer or even previous version of Firefox itself.

Enjoy your internet experience now, with Firefox!

Safari version 3.1

This is the latest browser from Apple Inc.

Previously, this browser is only developed for Apple Mac, but because of the internet browser market is become bigger and bigger, thus Apple now is trying to expand its territory from Mac to PC based computer.

In order to compete with the existing competitors, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and Mozilla Firefox, Safari is equipped with some useful features such as Bonjour, wider-browsing-screen, faster loading time, faster when execute JavaScript, looks clean, better graphics and fonts, and etc.

Below are my test results:

a). Safari really able to load faster than Mozilla Firefox; but Safari will cost a little bit more of memory usage.

b). Bookmarks feature is not-so-user-friendly if compare to Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. Beside that, anyone can tell me how to sort Bookmarks in Safari?

c). The default theme for Safari is not that good at the upper section. Those bars, tabs and fonts are come in dark gray color, so you will need to pay more attention to which tab you are accessing and be extra careful when you try to click the tabs.

d). Safari is not able to differentiate which hyperlink is visited. This feature is not comes with the Mozilla Firefox as well; but for Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, the feature is ready.

Overall, I will give 75 points to this browser.
