Gizzmo, if you notice under the logs for XP, this output a ton of error messages
when you install anything under XP.
For everyone out there, I've found a better way to get rid of this stupid isscript.msi
problem because installing this file doesn't help and Gizzmo's methods produces errors.
& the best part, it's really easy. Using regedit, remove this key and all subkeys,
(you may want to make a backup just in case)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Installer
(You may have to do this for every user on the machine, but I only needed to do it
for one)
That's it. It removes the stupid isscript problem and doesn't produce any errors
during installation and the programs can still be unstalled afterwards. I've run
my machine without this key for a good month or two without any problems, so try
it out.
And in case anyone want to know how I figured out this key was the problem, I have
installed XP fresh on 5 personal PCs and my computer was the only one putting out
this error message (all the machines had the same software but only slightly different
software). After compairing all the registries, this was the only registry key that
was not on the other 4 machines that were working correctly.
Hope this helps out a few people out there...
