Still have problems with Windows installer

Hi

I have Ultimate with 2 Gig RAM and a Core 2 Duo 2.6 CPU

I have a problem where a program I am trying to install does not get past
the Windows Installer part.

The install starts witth a "setup.exe" which asks for a serial number, which
I enter then it tries to run the .msi install file but I get an error
"Windows cannot open the specified device or file" I click on Okay and get
an Error 110 box.

I have tried install as an administrator and with UAC on and off.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

thanks

if you have any system protection stuff (usually bundled with virus/firewall software) they may
be automatically preventing it (ie maximum security noob settings).

try lowering ur pc security settings while u do it. firewall is the only program u really need
to have running anyway, virus and system monitors the likes are good if u don't know what ur
doing, or getting stuff from places u don't know. Just don't open emails with a link to
"freeporn.exe" or the likes lol

Hi

I disable my virus scanner when ever I install anything, I only have Windows
Firewall running.
