>Dear Tim,
>For those of us who might actually be in a position to change the behavior of Kiss Konsole
>and PowerSDR, would you mind providing some details about this problem? SURE

>Do any of these errors occur during the installation?  Or do they occur during the running
>of PowerSDR after it is installed?  That wasn't clear to me from your write-up and plea
>for help! NO PROBLEMS WHILE RUNNING SOFTWARE ONCE IT LOADS.

>During the installation, were you asked if you wanted to allow changes to your computer?
>That was the 'run as administrator' prompt from within the MSI.  Also known as the UAC
>prompt. ANSWERED YES TO ALLOW CHANGES. NEVER SAW UAC PROMPT.

>When you double-click on an MSI file, or right click and choose 'install', that runs a
>program called 'msiexec.exe' (the 'windows installer'), which is what processes the MSI
>file.  It's kind of like how if you double-click on a .doc(x) file, word is run to
>'process' the doc(x) file. YES AND I TRIED MANUALLY STARTING IT BEFORE CLICKING ON MSI FILE.

>It may be that MSIEXEC.exe needs to run with administrator rights in its first phase of
>running (please don't ask, it's so complicated even those of us who deal with this on a
>regular basis groan just thinking about it!).  That cannot happen the way that we are
>doing the installs. YES I HAVE BEEN AROUND THAT BUSH FOR 3 DAYS

>It certainly looks like that the installers are supplying just a .msi file.  We may have
>to figure out how to include a setup.exe, possibly with the MSI compressed inside it so
>that you can do a 'single file download' for the installer.  That setup.exe would require
>administrator rights, which might fix the problem. I AM AFRAID TO MUCH OF ANYTHING AT MOMENT WITH FIELD DAY NEXT WEEKEND. ALL SEEMS TO BE WORKING AT MOMENT. MY NOT BE JUST THE WAY OUR INSTALLER IN BUILT. I TRIED A COUPLE OF OTHER PROGRAAM INSTALLS AND HAD SAME ISSUE. TEMPTED TO FIND A NEW WIN 7 LAPTOP BUT I AM BURIED GETTING THINGS READY FOR FD.

>There have been other suggestions here to turn off windows update and the like.  I urge
