	Removing the file did not resolve the issue. I have now uninstalled/reinstalled 3 times. The most recent install was done after I had removed the mscomctl.ocx file. Then a reboot followed. The original's details are: created: 4/15/05 1:58PM size: 1.02M The new one is: created: 5/22/2000 4:58PM size: 1.01M

	This is a new error message, but it very much sounds like the same thing that is happening with MSCOMM32.OCX (see the other forum post). Some copies of Vista are preventing the installer from properly installing Aurora. We are working to figure out why this is the case. In the meantime, the following procedure should fix the problem: Browse to C:\Windows\System32 and remove the offending file. Reinstall Aurora.

	Quick note before I uninstalled... Aurora Scheduler returns the same file error.
