Mach3 under Vista / Re: Installation fails during install of 3.041

Problem solved. It actaully was caused by something i have never seen before, a bad USB drive. I keep my mill PC disconnected from the the internet so I don't have a bunch of overhead caused by firewalls, virus scans, popup blockers, etc. To put the software on my system I used a USB drive and it seemed to copy fine. In fact I tried it 3 times and each time it had the right byte count but when I tried to install it hanged as I described above. Instead I connected my PC to the net and downloaded and installed 3.042.014 flawlessly. Weird one. Thanks for the quick responses!

I never get to the point where I get to check anything. I double click the icon and the cursor momentarily changes to the wait cursor then changes back and maybe 10 seconds later I get the error message.

There is only one account on my system and which of course is the administrator. I checked just to be sure and also tried to install yet again. It still hangs. I think I am going to download a registry tool to see if I have a corruption issue. Maybe one of the previous uninstalls didn't complete properly.

Nope, no joy with 3.042.014 either. Still dies during install.

I did an uninstall and even removed my virus protection in case it was getting in the way. Still no luck. I start installation and nothing happens for quite a while but then eventually a window pops up and says installation has stopped due to an unknown problem. I am still stuck :-(

I downloaded 3.042 and it fails to install also. It hangs and when I check the application event log it says it failed in irsetup.exe. This is running on a Dell Inspiron 1525 with 2 GB of memory and Vista Home Premium. I had no problems with 2.63. Anyone have any suggestions?

I have an SS board and I was using 2.63 but per the www.warp9td.com I need to use 3.041. I uninstalled 2.63 then tried to install 3.041 and I get an error message that says installation failed. I tried several more times with the same result. Any troubleshooting ideas? Thanks.
