Hi Rob,

I did some research on Sierra's Hobbit at their Tech forums:
http://community.vugames.com/[email protected]@.efe7154
to confirm that it is indeed using Installshield technology.
* You can post your error there as well, please let me know their reply. :-)

Here's how to correct most InstallShield Setup problems:

1. Update to the Latest InstallShield Installation Engines:

2. Acquire Administrative Privileges on Your Computer

3. Detect and End Previously Running Installation Processes

4. Install the InstallShield iKernal software:

5. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using: http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php

You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:

6. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com Afterwards
Download & Run Spybot from: http://security.kolla.de to find any
Trojans, Adware, or Spyware which could clog up your system.

7. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.

8. Configure the DCOM Settings on Your Computer
