Update: I did as suggested,I copied all files to HDD,same crap it still sticks at the end of Install Shield.I suspect that something is stopping it,but I have no idea what.Too bad,because I really like MOHPA.

Empty your TEMP / Recent / History /Temp Inet Files folders (run www.ccleaner.com ) if you like -- and find all the Old MSI installers and remove/rename them - I'm not up on XP msi stuff but

also;
Start | Run CMD
CHKDSK C: /r
I have run Cleansweep from NU and 4 spyware cleaners plus I have emtied the temps,cache,and IE history. :confused:Quote:

Can you uninstall the other stuff (and reboot) - clear temps (reboot again) - and Install the problem 1 first, before the others?
heck - even try running all the Installers with OUT rebooting in between (if possible)...select NO when Win says "You must resatart now for install to finish" - or whatever
OK let's see if someone can spot the guilty one.
I have SpyBot,AdAwareSE,MS Spyware,Spy Subtract installed.I also have Sys Mechanic 5,NSW Premier,and running MS SP2 firewall,plus Black Ice.The only ones running TSR is NSW AV and Black Ice.AS I said before,all other games that use ISW ran great,and yet it will install on kids comp!
hmmm...dunno;
but when visiting MS site for a completely diff reason (I need updated ODBC files for my Avast AV) I came across this -
"Windows Installer 3.0 Redistributable"
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
bah;
someother stuff;

*edit;
also - I've heard of AdAware and even MS antispyware being a little too lenient on certain MS partners and blocking/catching it like Alexis and Claria and stuff - but not the reverse..though it's possible
Did you try while in Safe Mode? - (though I don't think the 32bit installer will run in safe mode, but worth a shot)
How's about Disabling ALL possible process protections - disconnect from the Web (pull out Ethernet cable from the back of NIC) - and Shutdown all your protections
SP2 installs V 3.1 of installer I think because at looked at updates installed and is listed.as far as the latter steps I'll try it in a while and report back. Thanx
Just for grins try a different install directory.
C:\Programfiles\PLEASE\MOHPA :D
Ok i'll try that now
Install does not provide for custom install paths,it does not even display the default one. :( I removed Win installer 3.1 and reloaded from MS site and nothing.Now to make things worse,I somehow lost Auto Play. :mad: :mad: :mad:
Have you tried uninstalling moh and starting with mohpa?
No I am going to do that next.I'll post back results.
Update: I removed MOHAA,and all the sequels and Zip nada still doing the same thing it just freezes.
I went even further and removed all 4 spyware programs,still nothing.
I give up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
The agony of dafeet. Sorry man. :confused: :(
Dang!
Burn Copies of the set and Install Those - sheesh...what a dump!
