[PyMOL] pymol nstall problems

[David A. H. <dh...@wf...>]

Hi,
I've been unable to install Pymol recently on an XP Pro-SP2 system.
I'll start setup.exe, and ntvdm.exe starts running but nothing
progresses from there (no error messages and installshield doesn't
start).  I'm not sure if it's a software conflict with something else
running, but it's likely (and the PC is managed/regulated by the IS
department, so I have limited ability to muck around with it, and they
like to push patches in the middle of the night).  At one time I
successfully installed 0.99rc6, but now that install also fails, so
something has changed.
 
I've seen other posts where people have had problems with the 5.10.130.0
version of installshield on xp; I've cleaned out my temp directory, and
tried running setup in various compatibility modes and with its own
memory space, and in safe mode.
 
Has anyone else seen/fixed this problem?
Thanks,
Dave
