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)...

delete the installsheid folder then reinstall the appz, it in program files. it worker for my friend when he had problem installing jkII

[rockman56]

what do u mean reinstall the apps? installshield or the stuff i was trying to install in the first place?

i deleted the installshield folder in program files but it still doesn't work...

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

[rockman56]

nope not that i know of...

which processes are necessary for it to run?

[mikejd1]

not sure, thats the thing. i disabled with good intension, byu reading articles, etc...once disabled, the install engines sucked nads. i reenabled some of them and it worked again, i cant think which it was though, sorry :(

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.

[rockman56]

hmm...well i tried that but i still get an error...

Error signature

AppName: _ins5176._mp AppVer: 5.10.130.0 ModName: unknown

ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 6c756765

[nekrosoft13]

hmm, i don't know then, it worked for me, when my installshield got messed up.

[rockman56]

thanks anyways :happy:

...so...anyone else?

I have similar problems with all installers made by WiseInstaller. the installer just cannot install the programs............... does anyone have cure for this?

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 :/
