WD Smartware has stopped working

[tdafinance]

After clicking on Install WD smatware button on the what would you like to do? prompt on the welcome to WD smartware screen,

It started installing but then suddenly stopped. A message then came up saying: A problem caused the programme to stop working correctly, windows will close the programme & notify if a solution is available.

And now, whenever I double click on WD Smartware.exe, it shows me the same message and I haven't been able to complete the installation process.

Can anybody help here?

Do you have windows xp? if yes, you need to install Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 and Adobe Flash Player 9 or higher, then uninstalled WD Smartware from the computer ( if it is) and re install it again.-

Mine stopped working as well. However, the uninstall won't complete, giving me ERROR 1603.

This happens to me, at the end, I contacted WD support, they sent me a software that removed the WD Smartware.

I solved it on my own with TuneUp Utilities, but any registry cleaner should fix it.
