Thanks for the help offered. I don't think it's a space problem because it doesn't even come to the point of unpacking itself. The windows pop up right after I run the setup.exe. The DLLs are also all there in place. (Didn't install Cool Record app.) I also think there's a problem with a DLL. In my opinion the setup.exe tries to use a function of a newer version of the dll that isn't available in my version of the dll. On the other side, I never had problems with a setup.exe before...

Well, I give up now. :-( (What a waste of bandwidth this was.)
Thanks to all, anyway!

who, me? given my taste in music (http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2806?replies=27#post-19992), you expect me to be a restraining influence?

Nice detective work, is my reaction.

usually not worth 2 cents here, so i'll throw in a penny of thought...

did you install & uninstall yesterdays giveaway, "Cool Record Edit Pro"?...

apparently that causes a .dll error:

and that .dll problem causes a runtime error:

@goodgotd---you are supposed to try to stop me from throwing things out here, aren't you?... ;)

take a look at http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2813?replies=3#post-19989 as well, could be a space problem.

Maybe this helps.
I had a similar problem...though with XP...

I turned off my Anti-Virus software, Spyware Doctor, while activating…and it finally worked, no problems!

Although I think I won't get a reply to this posting before the activation period is over, here's my problem:
I've downloaded and unzipped the SpaceInterceptor.zip and started the setup.exe.
The GOTD Software key wrapper windows comes up and immediately afterwards another
window (Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library) comes up telling me that there's
a runtime error and setup.exe will be aborted abnormally...
I'm using WindowsME and the game is intended to be used with WindowsME. Maybe
the GOTD wrapper program is not fully working with it??? How can I fix this?
