[SOLVED] Software Installation problems in Windows XP

**BlastRanger** · 10-18-2010, 03:40 AM

you install Windows from network or you use Windows Installation C.D.?

I wonder why you get NETWORK PROBLEMS IF you are not install from the network

Your problem is when installing a program, you get :

Error opening file for writing.
Even you have installed a fresh windows XP.

So I would say if your harddisk is not damaged, maybe there are some program using that resource when you try to install.

Now during installation, make sure no other program is running, installer run from local computer (do not install online), when the error message comes up, you press ctrl+alt+del. Taskman come up, click processes. Print Screen and attach here, lets see if there are any program using that resource.

Also try shut off your installed antivirus, if it can't be, then uninstall your antivirus first before installing.

Hey blast,

Enclosed the error message and the task manager screenshots as per your request while i tried installing MS Office 2010 Profession Edition today morning. I'm damn sure that the anti-virus thing is not blocking any of my installations. Have checked out that too.

Don't forget to switch configuration back to normal to run your program

I probably faced problems with the copy of O/S ** XP sp2. Did a fresh installation of XP sp3 after backing up and re-partitioning the whole hard-disk. The system's now fine.
