Win XP - Can't Install Anymore HELP!

[Marc Ward]

WIN XP Pro - All of a sudden I can't install anything. I get a message
box that is titled "Install Shield" (is this a Norton program?) with
the message:

1607: Unable to install InstallShield Scripting Runtime


I tried "Safe Mode" that did not help. Any suggestions?

To reply directly, remove the "obvious" from the return email address.

Marc,

This is due to a missing entry in the registry that is usually created when
installing ISScript.msi in a previous installation of probably another
product.
To resolve the issue you need to reregister a file called IDriver.exe:

- Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the following location:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Driver\7\Intel 32

- Go to the start menu, Run command.

- Drag the file IDriver.exe to the run command window.

- Type the /regserver parameter after IDriver.exe and select OK.

Hope this helps.
