135344 2003-04-12 23:24:00 Problem: ISSET_SE error during program installations

Virus Software: Norton AntiVirus

If you receive an ISSET_SE error during the installation process of new software, the problem may be your virus software. Some of FlowSoft's programs use the InstallShield installation program which is used by many software manufacturers and Norton AntiVirus conflicts with it.

Disabling AutoProtect should allow you to perform the installation and then turn AutoProtect back on. If you have any questions about the file you are installing, first scan the file with Norton before turning AutoProtect off. Be sure that you know the source of the file and don't install files from sources you are not familiar with.

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 98
Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to install a program from your CD-ROM drive, you may receive the following error message ISSET_SE caused a general protection fault in module at....

Where is the name of the program file you are trying to run, and is the memory address at which the error occurs.

CAUSE This behavior can occur if any of the following conditions exists:

Norton AntiVirus version 4.04 is installed and Norton AutoProtect is enabled.

You use LiveUpdate for Norton AntiVirus to download an updated version of Norton AntiVirus.

Microsoft IntelliPoint software is installed on your computer, and the Point32 program is currently running.

RESOLUTION To work around this behavior, use the appropriate method below, and then attempt to install the program again.

Norton AutoProtect Is Enabled
Disable Norton AutoProtect Mode. To do so, right-click the Norton icon on the taskbar, and then click Disable.

You Use LiveUpdate to Download Norton AntiVirus
Obtain the latest version of LiveUpdate for Norton AntiVirus from Symantec's Web site.

135346 2003-04-13 00:08:00 Even better virus/ad-ware/spy-ware protection would be to buy a brand new HDD, reinstall Windows on it, then smash up all your CD drives, floppy drives, other removable media drives, modems, routers, network devices, and hey presto! You're clean as a whistle, no fear of virus infection here... agent (30)
