I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium. I've had my laptop since Christmas and I haven't run into any problems until now. I've always been able to install normally. A day or two ago, the computer suddenly stopped being able to install anything. When I put in a disk or use Daemon tools, it comes up with the option to run setup.exe, and then it asks if I will allow it, but when I click yes nothing happens. There isn't even an error message. I just checked task manager and it appears that setup.exe doesn't even run.
I tried system restore, but it said that an error occurred and that nothing was changed. I deleted everything in the Program Files/Common Files/InstallShield/Professional/RunTime folder, per suggestion of another website, and that actually made something come up. In fact, every once in a while, the screen does come up to install, I enter the key, and it goes up to asking me where I want to install it... but when I push okay, it stops again.
Please help me?
