Zune Boards - View Single Post

So I excitedly purchased a 120zune a few nights ago, but the program refuses to install (I run Vista x64). I've tried everything that I've found in these boards so far (although I might simply be overlooking the fix).

My ex-girlfriend had a zune a while back and installed the program previously. Apparently, when attempting to uninstalling the program, she got an error that prevented the procedure. So she simply deleted the folder in Program Files and it won't show up in Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs. When I tried to install the program, I got a "This program is fully up to date" message and it'd stop there, but there was nothing zune-related on my computer that I could find to actually run the program.

I used Unzoonit, and afterwards the installation would get to "Checking for Updates..." and it'd hang right there forever. I tried disconnecting this computer from the internet (as some have suggested here), and it'd still give me the same results.

I tried downloading the 300+ mb Zune 3.1 package, and have also tried RevoUninstaller and Your Uninstaller and no matter what happens, it will still hang on "Checking for Updates...".

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated, I'm very much so excited about getting my new Zune up and running.
