Can't run setup.exe for a certain program!

Copy the contents of the CD to a folder on your hard drive and run Setup
from there. Good idea to delete the Autorun.inf file from the local
copy.

This will at least tell us if it's the program itself or a problem
involving reading the CD (a common issue.)

Can't run setup.exe for a certain program! I'm running Win98SE with
256 MB ram
and a PIII also 10 GB HD. I can't run the setup.exe from this
particular CD on
this machine. It will work on other machines just fine...but it just
hangs on
this one. It seems to start and then nothing...no install window or
anything.
It does show up in running tasks when I do alt-ctrl-del but nothing is
happening. Any ideas?

If gary's advice doesnt work check windows update catalogue for installer
updates, the cd may require a later version than the one installed with
windows
