Hi Warren and all,
I finally managed to solve my problem:
here'e where I found the inspiration:
http://discuss.pcmag.com/forums/1004327277/ShowPost.aspx
"The setup utility is a 16-bit app (as you have guessed), and it may
gag if the path to its home folder is too long"
I simply moved the installation files to a short path (namely C:\) and
renamed the directory containing the setup.exe of Pymol into "Pymol" (to
make the path even shorter) and the installation was successfull!!!
Hope this can help somebody else in the list...

I tried but it didn't fix my problem...
I went for the soft solution first (partial removal of the "guilty"
software) and for the hard one (total removal) then.
The same error appears...as nothing changed.

Joris,
Some Dell systems are uniquely afflicted -- according to another Dell

"I found the solution, apparently the installer gets screwed up by
some software
that Dell installs as part of their standard build. The fix can be
found at:
http://www.wave.com/support/CSC/CustomerService/Documents/DM-010.htm
I followed the steps in the above url and PyMol installed without a
hitch.

Joris, do please follow up to the list if this solves your problem...

Dear all,
We installed yesterday six brand new Dell PCs with winXPpro/SP2 (fully
updated) and encounter exactly the same error (and also...the
solutions in the pymol wiki didn't help us so far). Anyone a solution?
Thanks in advance.

The error message still appears.

Subject: [PyMOL] installation trouble
Hi all,
I'm trying to install the latest version of pymol on my laptop (Windows
XP pro SP2) but there seem to be something wrong.
I get the following error message in a window whose title is "Can't run
16-bit Windows program": "Cannot find file
C:\***\pymol-0_99rc6-bin-win32\SETUP.EXE (or one of its components).
Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required
libraries are available."
Any clue about this error??
thanks
angelo
