setup.exe Not Responding

[Sam]

Hello,
For some reason, whenever I try and use any program that uses setup.exe, a
gray box pops up in the middle of the screen, and that's it. No error
messages, dialog boxes or anything. I have to ctrl alt del to get out of it,
and no matter what I do I can't get it to work. Any help would be greatly
appreciated =)

What happens if you right-click the file and select "Run as administrator"
from the pop-up menu?

Hi, Sam.

There must be at least a thousand different programs out there named
"setup.exe". It seems nearly every programmer assumes that HIS wonderful
product is the ONLY one that you will ever need to install. :>(

Can you tell us which application you are trying to install?
