Hi all,

I'm having some major trouble with installing programs on this machine.

I can live with a couple of the issues (design review & IES ve-ware), but I really need to install 1 of these programs asap (Autodesk 3ds max design)

It will start the installation process absolutelly fine, when it gets about a minute in though (the status bar is at the 'writing registry values' stage) it just stops, throws up a splash screen telling me that nothing was installed, and directs me to the installation log.

The log file simply says - 'Installation was aborted - error 1603'.

I've done ALL the fixes for 1603 I could fins anywhere on the net. The drive I'm installing to is my C drive which is totally open, and the SYSTEM account has all access rights. I did install service pack 3 (against my will...) which was said to sort it out, but it didn't (so i've uninstalled it again...).

I've run a HiJack This scan, just incase it enlightened any of you more technically gifted people to what the issue could be - see below...

Attached File  HJT_Log.txt ( 11.67K ) Number of downloads: 2


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
