Try using the "Run As" feature by right clicking on your installation file and logon screen will pop up and select the 2nd option and login as administrator with the correct password if you have not put on in, Windows either defaults with a blank password or uses the word password. However That window will not let you "run As" with a blank password I suggest you give the administrator account a password before you start. Any another thing even if you don't see and account by the name of "administrator" on your welcome or login screen there is one by default.

Another thing to check or try if you are on a network try install it remotely (using another computer on the network to host the install, sometimes system policies/settings get messed up and lock certain functions locally but will allow a access through network protocols.

Good Luck

I am trying to install on a WIN 98 system....so no question of whatever u said in the reply....
Can it be a case of a virus doing some damage????

As far as i remember Norton Corporate Edition cannot be installed on 98. I am pretty sure it is only for windows 2000 and up.

You can't install norton on your system that is on your system becuase you might have a virus that is blocking the NAV.exe installation.
OR
You can have your system start in safe mode and do a scandisk after that restart your system then do the installation. If that doesn't work take your system off the network and try doing the installation, that might solve some of your woes.

Also, you can try installing the Norton from the server or another system to verify that there isn't such a policy.

PS. Norton can work on any operating system. That means any versions as well.
