Some trouble wit extractor

[Gr.Viper 131]

Downloaded the thing from 3 different locations - same stuff happens to all of 'em

For a start SFP1 Extract Util won't install - it copies all the files but the freezes at "Registering fonts" stage. I goggled this and it turns out to be a known occasional setup factory 6 bug but I didn't find any workaround.

When this happens, I kill the setup - some files seem to be in place (6,95Mb on hard drive).

Sfp1e starts just fine but when I try to open any .CAT file in First Eagles' folders I get...

Error accessing external object property filename

...and that's it. The extractor exits.

Restarting PC doesn't help...

So the question is - what's wrong?

 

OS: WinXP Home SP2

 

P.S. Sorry, if that was already sorted out somewhere. I did look for it here and at Thirdwire.. maybe even at SimHQ - no luck.

I've not seen this particular issue before, but from an IT stand-point, are you installing with an account that has admin

rights to the fonts folder in Windows? If not, it maybe what is causing the error...

I did all my install attempts under admin account...

I'm getting exactly the error described here http://support.indigorose.com/v3/index.php...d=103&nav=0

The version of SF used for making the installer matches.

Tried rebooting and running the setup before any browsers, downloaders, irc client and stuff. Wouldn't work.

YEEHAAA!! I've done it!! *faints*

 

Uh.. Just in case someone else encounters that. The problem's name is Kerio Personal Firewall. Exit it completely during the installation. KPF works fine but has some weird issues e.g. for some time I experienced constant lockups of 16bit windows programs because of it. The firewall never said a word about blocking something from running but apparently it does(or someone just screwed up the code). Got to find something else to prevent web demons from possessing my dear PC...
