Default error 1607; Unable to install InstallShield

Or, to give it its full title;
1607; Unable to install InstallShield Scripting Runtime.

Has anyone else come across this, and if so, is there a solution?
Thanks


Incedentally, is it not ironic that the install program can't install itself?

I had all sorts of trouble with InstallShield and none of the suggestions helped. Finally I checked the installshield folder on my harddrive and deleted the key for SHIII it kept installing and reinstalling in my registry.
Apparently SHIII uses this program.
For whatever it's worth.

Are you trying to install in Vista or XP, I assume XP, for what it's worth try running the installer in a compatibility mode like win98, might work!!

Yea and if in Vista try turning UAC off. Sometimes I have trouble installing and turn off UAC and that solves it.
