Have you upgraded to the latest WindowsInstaller, which I think is v3.1
If not try that in case your installer files are corrupt.

Yes I am using version 2.0. It starts, and then it hangs. I tried to re-install it, but it says "The specified service already exists"...
How can I uninstall this..?

sorry not sure how to un-install unless it's listed in add/remove prgrams.
can only think to stop service and try to re-install on top so it will replace corrupt files and reg keys, which is could be problem, though with yourself having tried that, i'm not sure.
