Hello Eric:

Thanks for the solutions. I disabled the antivirus and copied the file
to c:\ and it worked perfect.

I think that the solution was the c: part because I remember having
tested the antivirus part.

I apologize for my errors when posting the problem in the list.

Best regards. Jaime

Hello Jaime,

Go ahead and forward me your log file, in a zip archive preferably. I'm
sure I can help you out. Also, I've attached some common issues and
workarounds for MSI
installers:

You may want to try disabling any anti-virus software you have running
as they frequently cause software installation failures.

MSI Installers have a known issue with mapped network drives; please
copy the installer to the c:\ root drive and try running the
installation again.

If you are using the NTFS file system, please make sure that the SYSTEM
account has full rights over the target installation directory, the
directory containing the installer file, AND the Windows Installer
directory, located at either c:\WINNT\Installer\ (WINNT 4 / Windows
2000) or c:\Windows\Installer\ (Windows XP).

This may be the result of an altered Windows Scripting Host
installation. The best workaround is to reinstall this Windows
component.

Windows Scripting Host can be downloaded from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c717d943-7e4b-4
622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en

You will need to be logged in as an administrator of the target
computer. You will also need to ensure that you have full permissions to
install on the drive you have chosen.

You must have Microsoft Windows Installer version 2.0 or greater to run
the MSI package. There is a link to download the correct Windows
Installer for your platform on the System Requirements page:

http://activestate.com/Products/Visual_Perl/system_requirements.plex

The MSI file may be corrupt. You may also want to try re-downloading the
installation package and trying the installation again. If you have
trouble downloading the file, you may want to try getting it via FTP:

ftp://ftp.activestate.com or http://downloads.activestate.com

Contact me if you have any further questions or comments!

Regards,

Jeff Griffiths
