Try this first to fix Windows Installer Access denied problems

This may work for you first, before going through the procedure listed in my
other email.

------snip-----------
If running Zone Alarm and you are unable to install software, change
the Main Program Control to "Low" and try it again. I was at first still
unable to install anything until changing this to "Low". That means anytime
I want to install software, I have to temporarily change this. I never had
to do this before the Dec. 13 Windows Updates changed permission levels. I
do not mind having to change this to install a program, but do not forget to
set it back to Med. or High afterwards. This way you will know for sure that
no rogue trojan or virus can install any programs. I like it, actually, if
only MS would have told us the program levels were changed with updates.

Note also that simply giving Windows Installer "Super" control, had no
affect.
The Main Program Control must be changed.

If you are running some other firewall, look for it's program acces level
control knobs and you may get there with them.

Good luck and hope it works for ya,
Tom
