When trying to install the Free Edition of V1.9.8.7612 I'm receiving the following error:
"Internal setup error. Contact support."
No other information is provided, like an error code or something useful.
It occurs immediately after clicking I Agree to accept the licence agreement.
I've searched the forums and tried all the solution suggestions:
1. Run as administrator - No change
2. Run in safe mode - No error, but immediately requires reboot at the same point. If I re-enter safe-mode then I'm in a "request re-boot loop" and get no further. If I reboot to normal mode then I get the error again.
3. I've uninstalled and re-installed the SPTD from Duplexsecure and it seems to be fine, except I was unable to make any changes to the registry afer uninstall as per the suggestion, despite changing the permissions on the key.
4. Disabled my antivirus and firewall (Zonealarm) - No change.
5. Delete by hand all Alcohol files - there aren't any because it doesn't even get that far.
6. Combinations of all the above - no change.
My system is a Toshiba P100 (Intel Centrino Duo) with 2Gb RAM running Windows 7 32 bit, clean install. Alcohol is one of the first things I'm trying to put back on the system. I downloaded though Free Downloads which linked from this website.
Curiously the same version of Alcohol installed just fine on my other PC running Windows 7 64bit (I installed it quite a while back).
Alcohol FE was working fine on this very laptop on NT before I clean-installed W7. Unsure which version of Alcohol it was.
I downloaded it yesterday to a third computer running Vista 32bit and I got the same Internal setup error.
It seems to me that perhaps its a corrupt EXE but surely lots more people would be having the issue. I cleared my download history to ensure that a redownload didn't simply fetch a cached copy and it also was no joy.
Any ideas??? Could it have been the "Settings Transfer Wizard" for Windows 7? Is something Alcohol related in my registry that is a skeleton from my NT installation?
Thanks for any and all suggestions!
Dan
