Cannot find file - error message

I think you have to install the program from CD.

Try it after disabling your anti virus application

One other thing:

When I go to the designated folder and click on the setup.exe file, I get the same error message.

Also, when I try to re-run the original setup - A new folder is created (under the temp directory) with a slightly different name and the same error message (with the new pathe) is generated.

Thank you

Umm. It look likes you don't have complete setup or there is bug in setup file. you should ask software provider

1.Try saving the setup file on a new folder e.g. c:\new folder and try installing it from that location.
2.Send me the link of that 3rd party software so i can try on my system as i have a similar configuration to see if i face the similar issue.
3. Also before saving the file empty your temp folder. Go to Start > Run > %temp% and delete all the files in that folder & try repeating the steps for your 3rd party application.

Let me know if you succeed.

The original setup  - is it a downloaded file or something run from a CD/DVD ?

Thank You,

I t is from a CD

Can you save the file from CD on to your system and try running the setup.

 I am still waiting for the name of the 3rd party program to try it from my end if possible.

It seems that the setup when run from a CD first unpacks
the installation files to the setup directory (temp) and from there runs the setup.
However the CD is possibly damaged/corrupt so that not all required files are downloaded to
the Temp installation folder,hence,the error.
So first you must ensure that the CD and it's contents are undamaged with some
third party tool (example :Alcohol 120%).Try make an image of the CD on the hard drive.
If the CD is damaged,image creation will be unsuccessful.

II tried setup from the ;ocal drive - same problem.

The program is a Hebrew proprietary piece of software. I can try and include the setup file.

Thank you

You can not run setup from a local drive unless you are 100% certain
that ALL the files have copied properly to the local drive.
If you do just copy and paste you will not receive any error.
Everything will be copied without any errors.
But errors can be there without you knowing it.
So you must check the CD integrity.Create an image which will be 100% replica
of the CD.Then you can run setup from this image anywhere you want to.
I can not tell you where the error is unless I am 100% certain that the files on the
CD are 100% identical to the ones on the CD.Within Windows it is very difficult to do that.
Alcohol on the other hand read's sector by sector and if he comes up with a sector that is unreadable,you receive a warning.You can try Alcohol 120 % for free.So use it.

So just create an image with it and see how it goes.
If we do not get any reading errors then we shall try something else....

Another possible cause might be the number of levels or length of the directory path and filenames required to do the install. The installer may be having difficulty resolving the 7+ folders and if total length exceeds 256 characters.

Can you specifiy a temporary folder to extract the installation files to? Something like c:\temp. You might try setting a temp directory path like c:\temp as an environment variable in WinXP

Good Luck and post your updated comments.

Thank you all for the various solution suggestions.

I am working through the entire batch and will post my results as soon as I am done.

Thanks so very much

logic in this ? - not likely ! Glad it works now... :-)

Perhaps the thing was meant to be installed just by a 'Administrator' (login name administrator)
and you were trying to installit as an administrator under another name....? Dont know....
