I have noticed that setup.exe doesn't run for a couple of programs. I thought that something was wrong with the apps. but it seems the be happening for others as well.

Any ideas?

Go to MS and download the Microsoft Install repairer, it should fix your sys32 files.

I have been around MS site a number of times and can't find any 'install repairer' download. Have also tried the knowledge base and also looked for '32-bit Setup Launcher' but nothing shows.

You may need SP2 for the one above.

I downloaded and installed Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435) but still cannot get 'Setup.exe' to work.

Cheers

563057 2007-06-26 22:49:00 One of the programs was Adobe Pagemaker. However, this morning after the computer had been in hibernation overnight (i guess it needed a sleep), the 'setup.exe' app loaded and ran the installation program.

Thanks for your suggestions.
