Error Message

[Thorson]

Okay, this is the wrong forums, but the others are like ghost town. When my friends brother attempts to install the 1.02 patch the following occurs after selecting language and continue:


An error {-5006 : 0x8000ffff) has occured while running the setup.

Please make sure you have finished any previous setup and closed other applications. If the error still occurs, please contact your vendor: My Company Name.

And then I found this in the detail log:

Error Code: -5006 : 0x8000ffff

He has reinstalled, rebooted, attempting many different downloads from sites. I have searched forums and nothing is to work or to solve this problem. Thanks in advance for anyone who attempts to help with this problem.

Re: Error Message

First try re-downloading the patch. If that doesnt work, update to Service Pack 2. I installed it fine on my SP1a setup so I doubt thats the issue, but its worth a try.

"rename or delete the installsheild folder" and
"edit registry reboot in safe mode"
