I don't know if your information helped or not. This is some of what I found when I followed the path you posted:
In the Starburn\Starport directory there are two entries.
"DrvInst.exe"
"DrvInst.log"
I double clicked on "DrvInst.exe" and then I opened the "DrvInst.log" file. The result of running "DrvInst.exe" was a quick flash showing a switch into the "command prompt" mode and back again to Windows XP Pro's graphic interface in the same "Starport" directory containing "DrvInst.exe".
Here is the contents of the "DrvInst.log" after two tries of running "DrvInst.exe".
"DrvInst.log"

The last several lines seem to indicate (to me) that if the DRIVER was installed - a reboot would be necessary and if the DRIVER was not installed a reboot will not be necessary.
I did not get a message that said to reboot my computer. From this I assume that the driver was not installed.
In the \Program Files\StarBurn\Wizards\Logs directory there is a file called "Starburn.log". It is rather large (51 KB), 29-pages in Microsoft Word 2000, so I will not post it at this time. I searched the log, in Notepad" and "Word" for "driver", "*.drv", "starport.drv", "starportLite" - None of these were found. Of course I don't know the name of the driver yet so I just guessed at its name. It is going to take a while for me to find out the name of the driver and I will only be able to find out its name if it is installed on my computer.
Interestingly I found this entry in the "Starburn.log".
CStarBurn_ScsiDeviceCdvdRomWriter::CStarBurn_ScsiDeviceCdvdRomWriter_SharedConstructor(): WARNING! Device does not support recording
I guess the offer will be gone fron GOTD before I can get much further.
Please give me the specific names that you found - such as the name of the driver and the name of the text file that says that the driver has been installed. Thanks
