Re: Setup.exe will not run on this PC

You are in a much better position to work out what
blocked the installation program. It was obviously
something that loads in Normal Mode but not in Safe
Mode. Run msconfig.exe and check the Startup tab.
There is something in there that is not part of Windows
and that blocks certain commands.

Thanks for that. Tried the safe mode and it solved the problem but what
do you think was blocking the installation when not in safe mode?

I am trying to install a program from my CD drive but it will not let the
setup.exe file run. If I put the CD in my laptop it run perfectly.

What could be causing the proble,. I am running XP Pro SR2 with all the
updates. Its a stand alone PC. Deactivating the anti-virus (Nod32) has
not helped.

Thankx


You should report what exactly happens when you try to
run setup.exe. "It will not let me" does not mean very
much.

Have you tried Safe Mode?
