Hi Lee,
Sorry for the delay, I just wanted to put together a complete
document for you. It took some time, but it should solve your
problem. I hope you find it useful, and best of luck to you!
Here's how to correct problems with InstallShield Setup programs:
1. Update to the Latest InstallShield Installation Engines:
http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108322
2. Acquire Administrative Privileges on Your Computer
http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108379
3. Detect and End Previously Running Installation Processes

4. Install the InstallShield iKernal software:

5. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using:
http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php
You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:

6. Run a virus scan at:
http://housecall.antivirus.com Afterwards
Download & Run Spybot from:
http://security.kolla.de to find any
Trojans, Adware, or Spyware which could clog up your system.
7. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.
8. Configure the DCOM Settings on Your Computer

| The first solution says:
|
| Launch the file Iscript.msi file, which should in the
| same directory as the InstallShield Express 3.5 SP4
| setup. This launches the InstallScript engine
| installation separately. Run the InstallShield Express
| setup again after running Isscript.msi
|
| When I try to search for the file, Iscript.msi, it
| doesn't exist on my computer.. I can't find it anywhere.
| And when I try the second resolution:
|
| On some machines, the DCOM Configuration may not be set
| properly. Follow the steps below to set the appropriate
| settings. This is only for Win NT/ Win 2000 or Win XP
| machines
|
| When I try to run "dcomconfg", I get the error:
|
| Snap-in failed to intialize.
| Name:Event Viewer
| CLSID:{97579FC-4E2A-11D0-B702-00C04FD8DBF7}
|
| From the Microsoft Management Console
|
| Again, any suggestions as to a solution to my problems
| would be GREATLY appreciated.
|
| P.S. Thanks for Replying to my First post.
