Hey everyone,
I am trying to install Mavis Beacon Typing software on 25 machines but I'm running into some problems. I run the setup file (MS_Setup.exe). It runs through copying all the files and it gets to 100% then as soon as it hits 100% it attempts to execute another file. The file is 401comupd.exe, it is a Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor.
When the MS_Setup.exe installer attempts to execute the file it displays a dialog box that says: "Could not execute the external program - Path/401comupd.exe"
I tried running the 401comupd.exe separately from the installer and when it is executed it displays a dialog box which says: "This system does not need this update." When you click "OK" the dialog box disappears and the program is terminated.
I'm assuming that when the installer(MS_Setup) attempts to run the 401comupd.exe file it gets the same result as when you run it separately from the installer. Without the completion of the 401comupd.exe file, the installation will not be successful.
Any ideas on either how to get around the execution call to the external file or any way to complete the execution of the 401comupd.exe file?
Computer specs:
Pentium Dual-Core 2140 @ 1.60 GHz
WD 80 Gig HDD
