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.

Ask for a new CD from the software manufacturer; it may be incompatible with
current Windows XP.

DriveImage 7 is so old that Acronis made it available freely for a while.
You can install it on some Win2000 machine, then burn a bootable Recovery CD
and use that CD on your WinXP machine.

Some softwares come with lifetime upgrade, but as you mention, they won't
give CDs, the user must download the upgrade installation file.

HD.

Drive Image 7 has nothing to do with
Acronis. It is a completely a different
product. I think you have in mind a
droduct called Acronis True Immage may be
ver 7.

How could Acronis be distributing a commercial product (for free or at
any price) that they never owned? That would constitute both piracy and
copyright infringment (generating revenue is not required to violate
copyright). DriveImage was a PowerQuest product and PowerQuest got
gobbled up and made to disappear by Symantec.

Sorry, I got mixed up. Acronis made TrueImage 7 freely available, which is
their own product.

Yes, I said so in my reply to Vanguard a few hours ago. For some strange
reason your own reply did not make it to this forum until 15 hours after you
posted it - unless there is a problem with your PC clock.
