Has anyone tried (and failed) to load this on a XP Home system with the Wndows Installer 3.1 update applied?

Alternatively, have you tried and succeeded?

Get Easyshare

Got a reply from Kodak

Easyshare 4.02 is INCOMPATIBLE with Windows Installer 3.1 - tricode error 1931x17x2951053040x returned when installition is nearly finished (yes, you just wasted all that time downloading!)

They describe a solution, by removing the update and reapplying after installing Easyshare, but I see the Easyshare download is "temporarily unavailable" - well, they've got to make one that works with the Windows Update that everyone following normal update procedure will have - since it's a "pushed" update.

How many more programs have MS broken with this?

An update that works around the issue is now available.

If you tried recently though, be sure to CLEAR YOUR CACHE in IE (I used that and "offline content") - after failing before, probably due to an old file remaining in the cache and being scavenged from there.

Your ISP proxy may also be holding an old file, give it a bit longer to unsure it washes through.
