| Installation autoplay fails on XP I am trying to install InDesign 2.0 on my XP and the autoplay will bring up the installation window, but when I click install InDesign, nothing happens. I was able to load the software on another computer running Windows 98 so it's not the disc. Help, please. |

| Re: Installation autoplay fails on XP Hi, I have seen this often and have cursed "DemoShield" for some poorly written code (pre and post MacroVision takeover). Without researching "why" I might add :-} But thats laziness because I could if I wanted to, but never bothered sort of thing... Anyway, you could try on "Turning on DEP for essential Windows services and programs only". Control Panel / System / Advanced (tab) / Preformance-settings (button) / Data Execution Protection (tab). The see if that helps. Otherwise, just browse the CD until you find a setup.exe ot install.exe. Often the autorun.inf points to the DemoDhield exe so its no good running that as you will get the "nothing happens" problem. AKA you missed (in the game of Hurkle is Hiding circa 1978) when shooting the arrow into a cave - using an ASR-33 terninal I mite add. :-). Hope that helps.

| Re: Installation autoplay fails on XP I tried adjusting the DEP settings, but still nothing. It's weird beause I installed the same software on another computer running Windows 98 and it worked great. This one, the autoplay installation just doesn't want to run. I'm thinking it's got to be some setting on the computer that's not letting it start up. So, any other suggestions? |
