Question When I try to uninstall askSam, I get an error message which reads:
Unhandled exception
Error number: 0x80070725
Description: Incompatible version of the RPC stub
Setup will now terminate

Answer This error is caused by a DLL that was installed on the system, such as Oleaut32.dll, Olepro32.dll, Asycfilt.dll, Stdole2.tlb, or others that are not compatible with that system. For example, version 3.50 of Oleaut32.dll is installed and used only by Windows XP and so causes this error if it is installed on a machine running any other operating system.
Resolution
The only way to avoid this error is to download and run the following executable that is provided by Microsoft.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/msninvestor/Patch/1.0/WIN98/EN-US/mcrepair.EXE
IMPORTANT: When you run this executable, when it prompts you whether you wish to overwrite Newer files, make sure to click YES for each file ( do not select "No" or "No to All" ).
After you run the mcrepair.EXE, you should be able to complete the installation process.
