IOXperts Webcam/IIDC 1.1b30 for X Available

[Hans Tobeason]

Launched installer.  Went through the steps.  Got to the Install  
dialog, where it asks for a name for the attached camera.  Clicked OK  
to choose the default name "Unibrain Fire-i".  Got an error sheet "The  
name you specified is not unigue in the first 13 characters.  Do you  
want to replace the existing component?".  Clicked Replace.  Got an  
error in the Installer "There were errors installing the software."   
Multiple attempts to reinstall failed in the same way, even when I  
chose a different name for the camera, thus bypassing the naming error.  
  I've never had a problem upgrading the IOXperts software before.  Any  
ideas?

HELP!!!
