Default P9 Installation hassles...? - 02-02-2010 , 10:22 AM






Howdy,

A while ago I had ripped the files from my P9 installation
CD so that I could install from the disk.

I just had to re-install Windows XP on my laptop, installed
a few applications successfully, but when I tried to install
Paradox from the disk, nothing seemed to happen.

That was confusing, but no biggie because I still have the
CD.

But, when I try to install from the CD, again, (almost)
nothing happens. When I double-click on Setup.exe, the disk
starts to spin, there is a momentary change of the cursor to
hourglass, but then nothing further happens.

I have checked and nothing whatever appears in any of the
event viewers, and there are no errors displayed.

In addition, I have added the Paradox installation folders
to the Trusted Zone of my Kaspersky AV.

What should I be trying next?

Sincere thanks for any help,

Hello again,

I was about to tear out the last hair on my head, when I
noticed that it seemed to have something written on it:

It said "Try Safe Mode" and I did.

It is now installing...

All the best,
