Hi,
Your install problems were even stranger than ours. I'll do some more testing when I get a chance, we are in the middle of a 500 site upgrade, but it would be good to find out what is going on.

>>Hi,

I then started searching for the exe and found it on drive d: with a complete file & subdirectory structure, it was a simple matter on copying the structure back to drive c: and all was fine. All registery setting were correct, all pointed to drive c:, and the only common denominator being that they were all running Norton Antivirus.

The app was actually installed outside the program directory. In the program directory, where the app usually is, there was a shortcut icon to where the app actually resided.
