installation error svmsvrt and svfonts

[urville]

i was installing and then it froze on the SVG Viewer install... this is under xp, so i let it sit but i eventually had to reboot... so i went in on reboot to the add/remove programs and removed it so i could install fresh... and it removed it, so it seemed... i also removed the svg viewer... so now it's not under add/remove programs but every time i go to install it asks if i want to remove, repair, or modify, so i choose repair. it acted like it did somethin, and then it didnt. so then i removed again it looked okay but it still asked me to modify, repair, etc.. so i choose modify and choose to reinstall all the components from the drop down list, and it got partly through and said &quot;the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.&quot; filegroup: msvcrt, File: <svMSVCRT>\ so then after fooling around i managed to not get this error by not choosing the main program install option, but this time i get the same error only about <svFONTS>.... so then i tried repairing windows.... still the same problem... i turned my clock back to 2001, even 2000, and then 1999! no luck! can anyone help me!! i'm lost and i'm in desperate need!!

I had the same problem.

first, my illustrator was freezing up when it was &quot;reading fonts&quot;... so i had to uninstall and reinstall it.

but now whenever i do so, i'm never sure if it was installed or uninstalled. cuz it does the same thing. first an error message comes out saying there was problems with the .dll-thing file, then there was for the svgsetup.exe, and there was one for the fonts too.

it keeps showing up modify, repair, remove. when i choose repair or remove it goes straight to &quot;finish&quot; without doing anything. when i modify it, it stops at 80% cuz supposedly there was an error on it.

which is really weird because i downloaded the illustrator 10 tryout and it worked fine.

PLEASE! PLEASE! anyone help me!

I also got a CD with a demo of Adobe Illustrator 10. I went to try it out, it locked on the 'sgv viewer', and now nothing about it will work. Even when I uninstalled it, removed all referrences in the registry, and deleted any or all leftover folders that seem to linger, it still comes up with the "Modify, Repair, Remove" but does NONE of these. I know this message is a year old, but hoping this might revive it.
