Hi Dave,
Here is a past post by Rick Brandt which covers this issue:
>>>>
If he has Service Pack 2 for Windows XP installed it "Blocks" all
executable files that come from other systems whether that be Email or being
dragged from the network. You have to right-click on the file, view the
properties, and press the [Unblock] button in the lower right. Then the
file will work.
>>>>
And here is a KB article on the subject as well:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=883260
Once you have access to the file, then follow the installation
instructions I provided in the Word document.
