Make sure your Windows installer is up to date and then go get activesync 4.5 which is supposed to have fixed some install problems the previous version had.

edit : the install instructions have been updated so check them as well.

I did a windows update and retried installing 4.5. I get the message that the wizard was interrupted before 4.5 could be completely installed. How do i update the windows installer? what is the most current version?

You have eudora as an email client, I remember from an earlier post of yours, and it's known to cause problems with activesync .
The problem is overwritten dll files and the solution is to run fixmapi.exe.

the path is C:\windows\system32\fixmapi.exe
