Hi Warren and all, I finally managed to solve my problem: here'e where I found the inspiration: http://discuss.pcmag.com/forums/1004327277/ShowPost.aspx "The setup utility is a 16-bit app (as you have guessed), and it may=20 gag if the path to its home folder is too long" I simply moved the installation files to a short path (namely C:\) and=20 renamed the directory containing the setup.exe of Pymol into "Pymol" (to=20 make the path even shorter) and the installation was successfull!!! Hope this can help somebody else in the list... A.
