    hello all,

    have any of you experienced the "Installation Wizard Interrupted" moment while installing a piece of software? What exactly causes this?

    thanks

    Try exiting all open apps with task manager, then try installing it. Could be a program interfering with the installation.

    This is an old article but good info, not sure if it applies to your OS though, believe this is what you are thinking of.


    Local Security Policy
