Daryl Pritchard Aug 17, 2008 1:55 PM (in response to Daryl Pritchard)James, while that shouldn't be necessary, since my account is the Administrator account and I also have UAC disabled, I tried it anyway. As expected, given those conditions, it made no difference. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Daryl Pritchard Aug 17, 2008 2:52 PM (in response to Daryl Pritchard)Hi Ian,
Thanks, but no luck with that idea either. I know 32- and 64-bit O/Ses are different, but I largely expected LR2 to work with both my installations under Norton Internet Security 2008 since all else does. A leap of assumption perhaps, but at least this exercise suggests the problem is unrelated to Norton software. I disabled all services and startup processes for both NIS2008 and Norton Ghost 14, via msconfig, even uninstalled and reinstalled LR2 under those conditions, and the problem persists.
One additional thing I did observe, as I decided to monitor Task Manager while the LR2 installer ran, is that even after the installation completed and I left the box selected to launch LR2, the MS installer 'msiexec' did not close out. So, I rebooted and with no msiexece active in the list afterwards, again tried launching LR2 with no success.
The only thing I can glean from this is a similar issue I had with Raxco PerfectDisk 2008, which launched 3 instances of msiexec during its installation, and never closed those. If I killed all related processes and attempted to launch PerfectDisk, it would freeze up at the splash screen with those 3 msiexec processes active again. I sent in some detailed notes to Raxco support for some feedback and if they come up with anything to offer that resolves the issue, perhaps it will be related to why the LR2 installer also doesn't close, or can't close, the msiexec. Perhaps a problem unique to my Vista 64 installation in spite of all else working. As with LR2, PerfectDisk works fine under XP32.
Regards,
Daryl
