From: David A. Lessnau on 23 Sep 2007 21:20 About the only thing I can come up with is re-downloading another instance of it: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=04D26402-3199-48A3-AFA2-2DC0B40A73B6&displaylang=en Are you using any kind of download manager? Did you download the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version? Is your Vista 32-bit or 64-bit?

From: Kurt on 23 Sep 2007 22:40 Thanks for the input Dave, I've downloaded the 32bit version now three times thinking the executeable was corrupt or something. I'm running Vista Ultimate 32-bit and I'm not using any download managers. All suggestions VERY MUCH appreciated, Kurt "David A.

From: Bill Grant on 24 Sep 2007 02:43 My guess is that it has nothing to do with VPC directly. I haven't seen a previous post like this for Vista, but there have been similar ones in the past on XP hosts. The problem was with the Windows installer program, not the app it was trying to install.

From: Kurt on 24 Sep 2007 21:45 You know what Bill... I think you're onto something here because just today, I had a problem installing Windows Media Player Plugin for FireFox browser. The same EXACT thing happened during it's installation (or attempt at installing for that matter). I've been looking on the web ever since I've read your message for "Vista Installer repair" and can't find a thing. Any hints? Thanks Bill!!
