Setup.exe doesn't work - why?

[Hans Näslund]

I am having a problem with setup.exe, which means that there a number of
programmes that I cannot install on my computer (some of which I would need
badly).

What happens is that setup.exe starts, and I get the message that setup.exe
is preparing the InstallShield Wizard. The indicator bar goes up to 99% -
but then setup.exe closes down and nothing happens. No error message
appears.

I have asked this question a couple of times before, but I have not been
able to find a solution. Does anybody out there have a clue?

I am using Windows 2000 5.00.2195, Service Pack 4.

This happens on one of my machines if I have SETI@home running. You may want
to make sure there are no applications running in the background and stop
any unnecessary services. HTH.

That was not my problem. But I have found a solution that worked for me: it
was simply to make tha path to the temp folder shorter (locate it in
C:\winnt\).

The solution is described in Document Q110648 at the InstallShield Consumer
Central (see http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q110648).
