i dunno what happened but i no longer can install any programs...

installshield loads up but then just freezes...

anyone know what's going on?

Have you tried clearing your temp directory? IS has lots of problems if the windows temp directory has lots of files in it (not necessarily IS files either)...

i had the same problem about 2 months ago.

you got windows xp right? if you do windows xp then you got problem with windows installter that is made by installshield.

go to c:\program files\common files\ and delete the installshield folder (yes the whole thing).

also delete all the files in the temp folder.

the reason why you delete the installshield engine is, when you run a installer that was made with installshield it will reinstall the files that are required.

i had this problem a long time ago, did you "disable" any process in Services?

Can someone just tell us what service is needed?

When I uninstall ATI MMC, I always get stuck!!!

For the difference in Task Manager... I got 3 IDriver.exes running, 2 msiexec.exe running, a regsvr32.exe running. maybe 1 extra svchost, but I am not sure

Regsvr32 takes up a lot of CPU

My guess is Installshield needs a fix, not the MMC!

Do either of you have SP2 installed on your pc? If so, you may want to look at the list of programs Microsoft released that may have problems with SP2. Installsheild is on that list :/

Here is link to the Knowledge Base article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...ct=windowsxpsp2
