Installing applciations

[jrodie]

I've installed XP on about 50 machines and I'm experencing a problem on about 3 of them. I'm unable to install an application after upgrading to XP. If I try to run setup up nothing happens.

I'm loged in as administrator with administraotr rights. I've tried changing driver signature checking to ingore. Nothing seems to work.

The boxes experiencing problems are not similar in any way?

Any suggestions would be a great help

thanks
John

Probably an installshield issue, would be my guess, I seen something on this somewhere but can't find it now, dang it.

maybe someone else knows where it's at.

Thanks for the help, but I don't have a sysoc.inf file?

I had this problem and the only solution I could find was a reinstall.

Please forgive a silly question, but if you've installed XP that many times why are you doing upgrades? You have to know that clean installs will result in far fewer problems and much more efficient systems.

its in your inf folder in the windows directory. you need to go to your options in windows explorer and check the option to see all system files and hidden files.

Not a silly question Allen, I would rather do clean installs. We've purchased the upgrade rather then the full install. Which was probably not the best move but all the other install were also upgrades and they worked fine. It really shouldn't matter even though both you and I know it does. So.. I can reinstall but I'm really looking for a why this is happening and if anyone else is experiencedc it and what they have done.

Thanks
