Not a valid installation package

Hi Mario,

We cannot reproduce this problem. Could you please reboot, delete the contents of C:\Document and Settings\<userid>\Local Settings\Temp, and re-run the installation. If the install fails, you should find a log in this directory. The log file name is kinda random. For me the log file is C:\Document and Settings\<userid>\Local Settings\Temp\VSD1.tmp\install.log. Please post the contents of the log. Also, what version of Windows are you running?

Thanks,
Michael

Hi Mario,

Your log looks very reasonable. We don't see any problems.

Are you doing a new install or upgrading from an older version?

Does your account have admin privileges?

Thanks,
Michael
