I downloaded a demo that was in a InstallShield self extracting .exe form
and it just wouldn't open, I've tried many other programs I have downloaded
off the internet and the InstallShield self extracting .exe just wont open,
so i tryed to running some programs I allreddy had installed like adaptec
EZ-SCSI that I knew used the InstallShield Installation prossess I double
clicked on SETUP.EXE and it did nothing, it doesnt start or open, I'm
getting the same results as with ALL product using installshield No progress
bar, NOerror message, nothing.All I get is the mouse cursor changes to an
hourglass for a second.
I'm running WinNT 4 sp4 VIRUS CLEAN.

The one and only thing that spings to mind is that I had a TROJAN recently
that may have deleted a few system files? is there a registry entry I can
delete?

any idea's I can't install anything!!! HELP
