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.) -- Gary S. Terhune MS MVP Shell/User http://www.grystmill.com/articles/cleanboot.htm http://www.grystmill.com/articles/security.htm "jaybo" wrote in message ... 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? |
