Hi ickle_miss_strop,

Let's try a couple of things to get that working for you again:

1. Startup your system in SAFE MODE by pressing F8 repeatedly
while your system is booting up after you've shut down your system

2. Create a NEW "Computer Administrator" account, login and install the
game using that account. This will help eliminate any profile issues.

There is a new installer (install shield) available for download at the
Microsoft site. Just go to microsoft.com and do a search in the download
section.

I have the same problem, and I've got the new Windows Installer 3.1, and
I've also tried creating a new profile using the method described by Jimmy S.
But to no avail it still does not install. I've tried installing it on
another computer and it installs fine, no problems.

Here's all the info I can tell you about My comp:User is Admin in all cases.
winXP home Ed. - up to date.
..NET framework 1.1 installed, 2.0 won't install (access denied copying
certain files).
Can't install driver update Catalyst 6.3 for ATI graphics card (it doesn't
detect any version of .NET framework), although the old/original
driver-software did.
 
Hi GWF,

Your best solution would be to repair Windows using these instructions:

How to repair Windows XP:
Unplug from your Internet connection, and then repair Windows:
using this method: http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm

Afterwards, boot up your system, turn on your XP Internet Firewall,
plug back into your Internet connection and install all Critical and
Recommended updates from: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Thanx, I'll give that a try. I was almost going to resort to wiping
everything and starting fresh. :/

I'll let you know how it goes. [well I hope]
