WinXP, LabView 6.1 Installation error message: 'Failed to initialize installer. Error 110.'

Question

I am using WinXP and have no virus protection software installed. I have already tried installing instmsiw.exe, which didn't help. I also tried restarting in safe mode, starting and cancelling the install process, and restarting in normal mode, as per a suggestion I found, to no avail. Any other suggestions?

Hi,
Some steps you can take to check if it is the CD or your system would be:
1) Copy cd down to hard drive and try to install from there
2) Try installing from cd on another machine
3) Try another CD (if you have one)
If you run into the situation where it works on another machine, but doesn't work when copying down to your hard drive, I would then further try sharing the cd-rom drive of another machine temporarily and then accessing the cd from the network, or just copy it down into another machine and share it across the network. If this does not resolve your installation problem, the issue may be related to some corruption in your system install or possibly any permission issues. Lastly, if you cannot get the cd to work anywhere, I would co
ntact your local sales representative to see if you can get a new copy of the cd.
