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!!!

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?

Right yes I'll check the size etc.. I've re-installed SP4 but was a little reluctant to re-install NT itself. I may have to try though :o( -dk David Keating Network Operations Manager Business Online (UK) plc Tel. 0181 636 7108 -------------- Business Online (UK) plc -------------- Business Online | Public Online http://www.bizonline.net | http://www.publiconline.net ------------- Britain's Premier Free ISP --------------

David, Make sure no other applications are running in the background. I've had similar problems before in which a setup that worked earlier would have the same behavior as you are describing. -- George Menhorn Georgia Tech Research Institute george.menhorn@gtri.gatech.edu David Keating wrote in message <37288b21.0@news.installshield.com>... >Right yes I'll check the size etc..

It sounds to me that your 16bit subsystem has been disabled either by the trojan or another program. Reinstalling SP4 sounds like a good idea.

David: Before trashing your entire system, make sure you aren't running any mail programs. There's been numerous reports of programs like Outlook, Eudora etc 'hogging' the Windows messaging queue. It seems just a touch strange that double clicking on an .exe produces NO results or messages at all. Try looking at the Task Manager once you've double clicked on it to see if it's launched a new process. If you HAVE got mail programs running, make sure you've closed them before running a setup.

I just headed into the same problem. After closing the process 'realplayer' in the NT task manager the installation worked fine. So just try closing any process not necessary to run NT before reinstalling NT or SP4. +++Wolfram Marwik, Switzerland "InstallShield Software Corp." wrote: > > It sounds to me that your 16bit subsystem has been disabled either by the > trojan or > another program.
