I have recently installed w2k and have problems installing some programs such as Encarta 2000, Acrobat Reader (yes, the version for W2k) or Need for Speed Porsche (German version, and it says it supports W2k). It's always the same problem: When I start the setup file, the installation screen will open and the installation proceeds until 99% and then it stops and closes down. There are a lot of other programs which I had no problems with. Can anyone help? Thanks, JB

No, unfortunately it just stops and the window with the display graph closes down without any error message. Also the task manager doesn't show a trace of the installation process. The only thing that helps is deleting the Temp folder in the Documents and Setting directory. Just deleting the files in the folder does not work. After restarting W2k the folder is back again. So if I want to install another application which stops at 99% later on, I have to delete it again. I can live with that. JB

I did a disk cleanup but this didn't work. But deleting the Temp folder in the Documents and Setting directory did the job. I wonder why though? Thanks a lot. JB

Yes, I downloaded all the important updates, including SP2. The virus scanner I'm using is Norton AV 2000. But the installation doesn't sit at 99% it just stops and disappears even in the task manager. JB
