I'm trying to install 3D Home Architect on my laptop. It gets to "Configuring Installation" then stops with the error "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package. C:\WINNT\Downloaded Installations\Broderbund Home Design 5.1.msi". I know the software works, because I tried it on my other laptop. HELP! Thanks.

this would make no sense if it works in other systems...

a Few things...

1. Possible Virus?

2. Outdated windows installer? That folder where the setup file is should also have the wininstaller program... Run that, reboot, try install again.

3. Profile is corrupt? Create a new user... Install it under that user.
