Virus? That could be it. Also I have heard of the 16-bit subsystem on the NT that could be disabled. Most of the IS setup.exe are 16-bit (till recently) So I have seen NT boxes on which the 16-bit setup.exe would run and nothing would happen. Check for the file version and size of setup.exe and let me know. I can probably send you a tiny project that has 32-bit setup.exe However, it sounds like the virus is causing it. have you reinstall Windows? or SP?
