I have bought this USB Networking Cable:
http://www.usb-network.com/ and downloaded this driver ("Disk 2
Drivers" for
XP) (1 MB):
http://www.usb-network.com/USB_Network_Link_Drivers_disk2.zip

Hi

When I click the setup.exe I get the following error message:

Setup Initialization Error
setup is unable to find _SETUP.DLL, which is needed to complete the
installation.
Error 103

However the _setup.dll is in the same installation folder as the
setup.exe itself. Instead of installing from my hard disk I tried to
install from disk, from CD and from USB all of them on different
systems (Windows XP Pro SP 3 - no success.

How can I install my USB networking cable?

Thanks in advance for any support

As I mentioned I have tried to install from CD, from floppy and from
USB, all of them on several machines - no success.

Hi Walt,
Did you use an Admin Account?
What the Regional Settings of these machine, is it set correct?
Your issue indicate a bad installer or a corrupt/incompatible driver!

As the same error happens on 4 different computers (2 wilth XP Pro
and 2 with XP H ome) I do not th ink it has to do with the
configuration of the machine, but rahter with the file setup.exe.

Did you do a test with this file?
