Error 1721

843810Mar 27 2005
Hello! I'm not sure where to post this as there don't seem to be end user forums....anywhere. Figure I'll ask you devs for some help so here goes.

Whenever I attempt to install jre-1_5_0_02-windows-i586-p.exe, the install appears to be going smoothly, and upon reaching the "finishing installation" phase, a dialog pops up saying:

"Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

Eh? Tried reverifying my windows installation files, I've cleaned out my registry, attempted to find the temporary location for the install files so I could copy them before installshield deleted them with no luck, and even tried a older version (1.3.1 which I completely deleted from my system so don't bother wasting a post).

Feel free to add any ideas! I also ask you not assume I am a newbie as I know exactly what I am doing :)

Please keep the flames to a minimum please.
