Contact Trophy Hunter's tech support. They will know if there is a
workaround, patch, etc.

I am just guessing here but perhaps you need to install with higher
privileges, are there any instructions that mention privileges or
changing to "Administrator" with the software?

If you haven't done so yet maybe a look at their website will reveal
some info that's missing from the packaging or maybe a patch to install.

Error 1720 means that the installer package tried to run a "Custom Action",
a script created by the vendor of the software. But their script couldn't
run for some reason.

The full text of the error you received would have been:

"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script required
for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support
personnel or package vendor. Custom action <blah> script error <blah>: Line
X, Column Y"

As the message says, you need to contact the package vendor (the guys who
make Trophy Hunter 2007).

If you are familiar with Windows Installer internals, you could try running
the MSI file with verbose logging enabled; and/or deconstruct the msi file
with Orca, to view the Custom Actions table. But this requires a lot of
technical knowledge about Windows Installer. If you haven't used msiexec
logging before, just forget it - contact the vendor.

Hope it helps a bit,
