Hi,
In C:\Windows\Installer

When I have have found it, choose Properties. Select the
Security tab.
There is no Security tab, in Folder
options, turn off simple file sharing I have also Shown
hidden files and folder.

The object is, I am tryng to install command and conquer
generals and on instilation I receive an Error -1607:
Unable to Install InstallShield Scripting Run Time

I have tried everything in the book and have even
contacted ea sports without success, I feel that the
problem may lie in the "Security tab" area as I need to
check if I have full control.

Make sure that the Installer folder in the Windows
directory on the machine is not read only. "WHICH IT IS"
and when I click the green square and apply, it returns
back to green..

This what I'M trying to achive...

Run-time Error 1607

is doing my head in, many thanks... Chas
 
Here is my generic InstallShield fix list.
1- empty TEMP folder
2- delete >Program Files >Common Files >InstallShield
directory
3- retart computer
4- retry the Install

Often times the software developers are using different
versions of InstallShield. Sometimes their leftover files
conflict when another setup invokes it

HTH-
Mike
