Installshield error 1628: Failed to complete installation

Question

Installshield error 1628: Failed to complete installation (This is Installshield message after clicking Finish when it said installation was complete)   Problem:   Trying to reinstall driver for AverTV USB 2.0 (originally bought with new Dell computer).   Original installation when I first had the computer went okay.   One part of AverTV scheduler never worked (schedule could be set up but recording did not actually take place).   I was trying to install updated software from Avermedia website.   I have gone back to try to reinstall from original CD as well.   Already tried:   Cleared C:	emp and (username)\Local Settings	emp (apart from few files that would not delete). Checked that previous running installations are not running (as described in InstallShield Consumer Central) - they were not.   I turned off my antivirus and made sure no other applications were running.   I have contacted Avermedia and they do not have a solution. I was considering Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, especially as the software remains listed in Add/Remove Programs even though Ihave tried to uninstall it - would this be a good next step?   I am thinking that this is basically a problem relating to Windows XP and Windows installer rather than AverTV.

Search the Dell forums. Somebody recently (last week or 2) posted a link to fix problems with InstallShield. You could try to do it in safe mode as a workaround. Ron

You probably don't have the appropriate equipment needed to run this equpment, even though it's nice to have it. This type of program is inteded to a person who runs their business out of their home, and is connected with a major corporation. Not that you can't use it, you will jusst have to set up your own account.

That is ludicrous. The equipment involved is a TV tuner (see this) and has nothing to do with home businesses.

Ron/RoHe: Thanks for the suggestion.   I have tried installing in Safe Mode and the installation program stops with the error: 1607: Unable to install Installshield Scripting Runtime   Frank
