Garth: Thank you for that update. I've been discussing, off the list, the possibility that the Windows Installer program may be at fault here. Have you updated/upgraded your system since you bought it? If you have not, I recommend installing the latest service pack (I know that XP SP 2 broke Symantec (Norton) in a major way but you can get fixes at their site BEFORE upgrading) and then looking for the latest/greatest version of Windows Installer for your version of Windows. This may fix the install problem. And if you think that Windows is the only operating system with this problem, Apple had to release a fix to their installer, too.
