    Couple of quick things to check:

    1. Are you logged in as administrator?
    2. Turn off your AV

    Hi,

    Did you try to update the InstallShield with the AV off?.............worth trying with the firewall and any other anti malwares off as well?

    What is your OS BTW?

    DCOM comes to mind for some reason?

    Hey Rock_Bill ole chap......................I can support you back to DOS 3.0 and would do so.............. but this modern Billy Windows stuff is a bit more complex?

    My advice is to go to SP2....... you need to get a hurry on mate! it will close shortly IIRC?

    Cheers
