Solution 1:
There may be a conflict with a program that is running in the background
- screen saver or virus scanning program.
Shut down any programs running in the background and run the
installation again.
Solution 2:
Make sure the user has write privileges to system directories.
A system administrator may need to install the software.
Solution 3:
Minimize the number of drivers that are loaded by editing the autoexec.bat
and config.sys files. Then run the installation again.
Solution 4:
Make sure that uninstaller (IsUnist.exe, IsUn16.exe, Uninst.exe, or Uninst16.exe)
is not marked as read-only if it already exists on the user's system.
These files would be located in the Windows directory.
