To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to proceed?  Installing will not complete.

Hi Balmukund!
Thanks for your help.  I did rename both folders to a generic name (rename_folder_1 & rename_folder_2) and the install failed again.  Did I rename the folders in a correct manner?  Below is a copy of the user.config file referenced in
your post above.  Any additional direction would be very helpful.
Thanks!
