if knows how solve problem, please let me know.

after having reinstalled web.developer , joomla 1.0 , 1.5 on 20 times, have discovered there many registry entries block everything. apache, php, mysql, drop rubbish registry, makes next impossible determine entry stuffing up. , if 1 tries delete them all, makes worse. , not all. cleaned theregistry , still 1 apache file blocking reinstallation. "apache installed" says "please uninstall first."

i came conclusion still not mature software. should able re-install many times need or want , suffer no problems. , upgrade far simple. bug-laden , far stable. pity because great idea. not enough. needs lot of work before can declared stable. because not.

i blame web.developer more, joomla not far behind. once reinstall 3 times, done. config files aplenty , leave traces on pc, rendering further tests next impossible. can't go 1.0 more.

the option left format hd , redo clean install. , hope best. ain't gonna happen here. i'll have works better. unless in dev team comes solution. , seems remote.

regards,

diego
