I am unable to install any programs that have the
name "setup.exe" or "_setup.exe" I had SP2 when this
problem started but have since removed SP2 but the
problem still persists. Some of the programs I am having
trouble with are:
Scansoft PaperPort Deluxe 7
The Zoombinis Logical Journey
Liberty's Kids

please help.
 
Try Msconfig, hide all MS services then disable all
On start up tab disable all.
reboot then try to install.
If OK I'm afraid its a long process to find what service/app is causing the
problem
 
I have the same problem - have not installed SP2 yet. Will try this
solution but would appreciate any more info.

sounds to me like you have a limited account, this will not allow to install
programmes i.e. setup.exe
 
I solved my problem - it was a process called Gear Security - stopping this
allowed install to proceed normally. Gear Security was installed by Audible
audio books and apparently is designed to prevent copying a book to a device
not activated with Audible.
