Sidekick 99 w2k install

[chifan]

I have an instance where Sidekick will run the demo shield to install sidekick99 then it stops and nothing happens. Does anyone know why it is doing this? I looked at the starfish website but could not find any answers. Thanks

Don't quite understand what you mean,
are you referring to the InstallShield
program that installs Sidekick?
If that is the case then see:
faq807-2246

or got to the Starfish site and see this
page:

Sorry that won't word wrap HTH

Yes, the install shield.

 

[chifan]

I've tried that already. Doesn't work.

Dear chifan,
What error message comes up (If any)?

At what stage into the install does it
happen?

What are you logged in as?
(AFAIK You have to be logged in as
Administrator to install on WinNT Win2000 or XP)

Have you any more info that may point us to a
solution?
HTH
Regards Jim

There are no error msgs. It comes up with the install shield and then disappears. Then nothing happens. Yes I am logged in as an admine. Both as a local admin and also as a domain admin.

This is a w2k box.

I have the same problem where the install shield goes up to 99% then freezes - Tried the rebooting and renaming the wininit, checking the registry but nothing goes...

The two ref threads are of no help at all.

Dear Chifan,
My apologies there I got a bit mixed up.

See Q01 in faq807-2966 that may help
Both that Faq and faq807-3000 has some answers to other Q's too.
