Gc_w01_enu_nb.exe extracts to 100% but setup fails instantly in winxp pro

Question

gc_w01_enu_nb.exe extracts to 100% but setup fails instantly in winxp pro
I'm trying to install the full featured driver for my psc-1315xi on two WinXP Pro PCs.
The first one worked perfectly.
On the second one, when I run the downloaded exe, I get the "Extracting" message, but when it goes up to 100%, the setuup window never opens.  And no error messages are displayed.  I poked around and found a log file that was produced.  It includes the following:
GetValueByLang( f->c_str(), _T(Version), _T(LanguagesInthisCD) failed
System LangID = 1033.  mapped to ENU
## The system language is ENU, but it isn't on our CD!
## We couldn't figure out a language to use, and are returning FALSE from CICECmdLine::GetLanguage()!
## GetValueByLang( f->c_str(), _T(Version), _T(LanguagesInthisCD) failed
Setup returning 1603
Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I think I may have solved this problem.
I have a Windows XP Pro (SP3) PC that was experiencing this issue.
Immediately after the "extracting" window went to 100% and closed, nothing happened.  The software installer/setup windows never displayed.
Each time I tried it created a log file that started with this:
Parsed command line: ".\Setup.exe"
Using datfile: C:\DOCUME~1\xxxxx\LOCALS~1\Temp\7zS1293\autorun.inf
## GetValueByLang( f->c_str(), _T(Version), _T(LanguagesInthisCD) failed
System LangID = 1033.  mapped to ENU
## The system language is ENU, but it isn't on our CD!
There were other error messages after that, but they all stem from lines 3 and 5.
Something was preventing the setup program from recognizing that the ENU language files ARE present in this download.
By comparing two PCs, one with the problem, and one that worked just fine, I saw that the one that was failing had AutoRun disabled via a registry setting.  I temporarily removed this from the registry on the PC that was failing and the setup launched and ran like it was supposed to.  Here are the first few of that log file from the same PC, a few minutes later, where the only difference was that I had removed the offending registry setting:
Parsed command line: ".\Setup.exe"
Using datfile: C:\DOCUME~1\xxxxx\LOCALS~1\Temp\7zS1293\autorun.inf
System LangID = 1033.  mapped to ENU
We are using the system language=ENU, which is on our CD!
As you can see, the "(LanguagesInthisCD) failed" message (Line 3) has disappeared, and line 5 (now line 4) shows that it succeeded in recognizing that the ENU language setup files are present.
So, if you are experiencing this problem and you are comfortable working with the system registry, here's how I got it to work on my PC:
Start regedit
Navigate down this tree
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
- - SOFTWARE
- - - Microsoft
- - - - Windows NT
- - - - - CurrentVersion
- - - - - - IniFileMapping
Below that, look to see if there is a key named "Autorun.inf"
On my PC (the one with this problem) the value for this key was "@SYS: DoesNotExist"
If your registry has this also, it may be the cause of your problem.
In the left pane of regedit, right click on Autorun.inf and select "Rename" from the popup menu.
Change the name to something like "Autorun.inf.hold"
Close regedit
At this point I rebooted my PC, but I don't know if that it actually required.
I ran the downloaded driver file.  It extracted, and the setup program started like it was supposed to.
When that was done, I went back into regedit and renamed "Autorun.inf.hold" back to "Autorun.inf"
This was enormously frustrating for me, and (if you need it), I hope this solution works for you.
