Ray Cox 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2012 I have tried to install V8 a couple of times on my XP SP3 machine and the installation aborts each time with the message "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." This is not being installed as an upgrade. I currently have version 6.12 installed on this machine, but am installing v8 as a new, independent installation as I don't want to remove v6 until v8 is running well. I have disabled my anti-virus software during the install process without any difference in results. Any help would be appreciated. Ray Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Virginia Blakelock 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2012 Ray - The pinned message at the top of the forum here has suggestions for new installations as well as for re-installing. Have you taken a look at those? Also, if you are not now, try accepting the defaults on installation. Virginia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Cox 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2012 None of the issues addressed in the installation suggestions post applied to my install since it was a clean install for v8. I did get a successful install by selecting the Standard rather than Custom installation. On the Custom installations which failed, I had deselected the language modules and the example module. Those were the only non-standard things about the install I couldn't get to work. Ray Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
