When I try to install Drive Image7 on to
WinXP Pro, The error message is:-
"1607: Unable to install installshield
Scripting Runtime"
Any help? I have no idea?
I bought the Drive Image7 cd few year ago.
It was part of Drive Image 2000 or Ver 6.
There must be some upgrade over the years
Can any user of Drive Image Ver 7 please be
help to pinpoint the site where an upgrade can
be found.
I shall be very very grateful for help?
What you have is way too old, unusable, and unreliable (especially in
regards to recovering the image plus under an UNSUPPORTED Windows).
Symantec got DriveImage as part of their acquisition of PowerQuest
(which also included the PartitionMagic product). Symantec then killed
off DriveImage since they already had a competing product (Norton
Ghost). Obviously they never updated DriveImage after they acquired it.
They offered PartitionMagic for a couple years but never updated it and
now you can't find it listed as an available product anymore (it became
unsupported many years ago). You are trying to use PowerQuest products
those don't support any version of Windows past XP. You'll need to dump
the incompatible products and get something newer and which actually
lists Windows 7 as a supported platform.
If you want to know what are the current free partition imaging programs
available, I'd suggest asking in the alt.comp.freeware newsgroup (you
won't find that on Microsoft's NNTP server, the one you used to post
here, which only carries the microsoft.public.* newsgroups). Or you
could Google for it, as in:
http://www.google.com/search?q=+free++disk++imaging+software
For payware, Acronis TrueImage and Norton Ghost are probably the primary
contenders.
