Hello, I'm looking for a little help with installing version 3.0.6 on 
Windows 2K3 Server. It appears to install fine when running the 
installer... all the way up to the end. Right after it gets to the 
point where it says it's registering and starting services the 
installer stops with an error:

"InstallShield Wizard Complete

The wizard was interrupted before Tenable Nessus could be completely installed.

The system has not been modified. To install this program at a later 
time, run the installation again."

If you click Finish and check the Program Files directory, the 
Tenable->Nessus->logs directory is there, with the single file 
"server.log", and inside the file is the single line:

"[Wed Jul 04 12:43:28 2007][1728] Nessus Service started"

But there is no service registered at all if you check the Services 
in Windows. Likewise, the file above is seemingly the only one that 
was installed. There don't appear to be any files in the Documents 
and Settings->Administrator->Local Settings->Temp directory either. 
It's as if the installer was never run at all.

The odd thing is that Nessus 3.0.5 installed fine several months ago 
on the same machine.

Any ideas as to what is going on would be GREATLY appreciated. 
Unfortunately I can't even get any portion of the program to install, 
so a previous suggestion of looking at the output of "debug.vbs" 
won't be possible, since the only file on the system after 
"installation" is just the server.log file mentioned above.

I really need to get this installed on this system for a network scan 
next week, so any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.
