When attempting to install Symantec PCAnyWhere I get an error and an installation rollback. The installation gets to about 10% then fails and rollsback. This creates the following error in the MicroSoft Event Viewer: Event ID: 1000 Source: MsInstaller. "Object Installation failed with errors" (this is close to the exact error). This is on a Windows 2000 Pro. machine with Spk2 installed. I installed the software on several other machines with the same configuration and did not get any errors. Does any one have any information about the Event id: 1000 Source: MsInstaller? I found Event id: 1000 with several different Sources but none with the source: MsInstaller...Is this a registry problem?
Thanks,
Scott

i have come accross a couple of issues similar to this one with pc anywhere and the issue was resolved by copy the contents of the cd to the harddrive and running it from the harddrive logged on as administrator.

I got this resolved. We ended up reloading the whole machine from the ground up including software.
Thanks,
