I can't install the Easy Share software disc that came with the Kodak DX6340
camera.
It gets so far in the installation then stops with the message "Set up
failed while attempting to install package" "Error code 12-17-1603"
I have had the camera about 12 months from new and this soft ware wouldn't
install then either.
Thought I would try it again but it still the same.
Any ideas would be welcome. Windows XP Home edtn. Plenty of memory and disc
space etc.
Cheers.
Jim.

Thanks for that. I didn't think of seeing if there was a later version. I
just assumed it was a computer fault.
Cheers
Jim.

ALWAYS go the the manufacturers website before installing software in a
package. You can just about count on there being a later version on
their website, and you can avoid a lot of pain at the cost of a bit of
download time.

Hi Jim,

Sorry to hear about the trouble installing.

I suggest you get the latest version. You can download from the web at the
Kodak site. Before you do, however, since you had a 1603 error report, which
often means that the system detected an issue with a previous version, and
the installer from MS. If you have difficulty installing the latest
version, upon download, try running the Kodak Clear utility found at the
following URL.

http://www.kodak.com/go/clear

This feature will remove any previous versions and residual files from
EasyShare. Once removed, reinstall the latest version. It should go
smoothly.

Talk to you soon, Jim,

Ron Baird
Eastman Kodak Company

These pages from Kodak refuse to open. Been trying them for hours now.
Everything except the support pages open OK.
What does the firmware do to the camera anyway. Is it worth pursuing.

Perhaps you have a path problem. I had no delay in accessing.
