I have been having a difficult problem with my XP of late. I've been trying to install the new line of Macromedia products (version 8) after uninstalling my version 7. However, all install files (Flash, Dreamweaver, Firewords) are giving me the error: '1: Failed to install ISKernel Files Make sure you have appropriate privileges on this machine.' I get this logged in as Administrator or a regular user. Gang beasts 0.1.5 download. I have no problems with other programs. Run old Macromedia installations fine (also InstallShield) with no issues.

Iskernel Permission

I figured updating my InstallShield might help, so found the Installshield Update guide here: However, right-clicking on my Macromedia v8 install files gives me an installer version 4.0.100.1190 and no instructions are provided in the above document for updating a version 4 InstallShield (if that is any way necessary). I found one post on a different forum where someone had luck resolving something like this with a fresh xp install. However, I can't afford the time that would take right now, so I'm really hoping someone may know what is going on and will be kind enough to help out. Thanks, Mike. For archival purposes: Repair of XP from original CD + re-install of Service Pack 1 corrected the problem. Upon then attempting installation of v8 programs, I was prompted to update my Windows Installer, and this did it fine.
