ISIS

My experience installing ISIS on a Windows 7 64-bit platform: *** 1) I downloaded the installer “namasol.exe” and launched it. The installation seemed to start normally but then I received this error: “ An error occurred during the move data process: -113 Component: File Group: File: C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Temp\ IXP000.TMP\data1.cab” *** 2) I navigated to the temp folder to investigate: C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Temp\ IXP000.TMP \ I discovered it was completely empty. It did not have a single file. *** 3) I extracted “namasol.exe” using 7-Zip and copied the files (see list below) to the C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Temp\ IXP000.TMP\ directory: _INST32I.EX_, _ISDEL.EXE, _setup.dll, _sys1.cab, _user1.cab, DATA.TAG, data1.cab, lang.dat, layout.bin, os.dat, setup.bmp, SETUP.EXE, SETUP.INI, setup.ins, setup.lid *** 4) I launched the file “SETUP.EXE” from the IXP000.TMP directory: The installation finished without error and “Námasōl, ISIS GUI” appeared in the Start Menu *** 5) I launched “Námasōl, ISIS GUI” and received the following error: “The program can’t start because libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.” *** 6) I had no idea what libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll was so I started doing internet searches and discovered it was part of the “GTK Toolkit” (GTK+): So, I downloaded GTK+ from a SourceForge site. *** 7) I launched the GTK+ installer and selected the “Compatibility DLLs” option: The description of the option said “DLLs for compatibility with older or incorrectly packaged programs” *** 8) FINALLY! SUCCESS! The program now launches without error.
