Please make sure you have finished any previous setup and closed other applications. If the error still occurs, please contact your vendor: Chief Architect Inc." Customer Support is closed for the night, so I was curious if anyone had any tips for the time being. I've closed all my apps, gone through the troubleshooting from the support site, restarted my comp... what else could make it work? Thanks in advance.

The workaround is the same for all programs and can be found here: http://support.xara.com/index.php?_m...eid=2324&nav=0 ------------------------------ Please try renaming the c:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\ folder to be called installshieldold. Close all programs and try to install the program you are getting errors on again This will force windows to create a new installshield folder that is clean of any previous installation attempts. ------------------------------ Hope this helps!

If it works, go to the system folder to see if cabinet.dll is there. Let me know what happens.
