program(MaxtorIII one touch extHD) with no success("1607 unable to
installshield scripting runtime"), I signed on as the Administrator in Safe
Mode, and again attempted the installation. Received ths message "System
Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation". Question--How
do get around this please?--Thanks in advance

The "InstallShield Engine" is third-party software. See if this article
