Hello Experts

I'm having a problem installing programs on my computer. Two Programs now (I-Tunes for Windows and Adobe 6.0 Upgrade) have stopped at the same place in the installation every time I have tried to run the install: It hangs/freezes at the "Configuring Windows Installer" message. I am starting fresh - I've reinstalled XP and downloaded all of the service packs last night. Still doesn't work. I also tried going into the Admin/Services Control Panel and starting it manually... no dice: It hangs when the status bar is at about 90%, then decides to time out after a little while. I've tried installing the Winistaller file from tips & tricks #41 on the girl's website... still doesn't work. Any ideas

By the way... yeah, I know I-tunes is a mac product, but I drink a lot of pepsi so I have a lot of free songs coming to me. also, this happened in two seperate occasions, so I believe the problem is in XP, or at least the Windows installer

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Delete the folder Program files\Common files\Installshield
and then try to install.


Good luck
