Norton INstallation

I am trying to install a Norton's Internet Security 2004
in win98 system and I get the following message:

"Error 1722. There's a problem with this windows
installer package. A program run as part of the setup
did not finish as expected."

What should I do?

Open Windows Explorer or My Computer.
Browse to the Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield folder.
Right-click the InstallShield folder, click 'Rename', name the folder
InstallShieldOld, and press Enter.

Reboot.
Open the Temp folder and delete all Temp files:
-Click StartRun, type %temp% and click OK.
-Press Ctrl+A to select all, then press Delete.

Delete the Temporary Internet Files:
Click Start Settings Control Panel Internet Options General tab.
Click the Delete Files button, then put a checkmark in the box to Delete all
offline content, and click OK, and OK.

Close all open windows and running apps.
Disable your anti-virus and screensaver.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and End Task on everything except Explorer and Systray.
Try your installation again.

Installer errors are usually fixed by updating the Windows Installer and/or
installing DCOM98.

Update the Windows Installer:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/r...eleaseID=32831
This is version 2, which you say is already installed.

Install DCOM98:
