I'm sorry about not answering your question. I thought I had in one of my posts. Anyway, when I start the install the progress bar gets about one quarter across the page and the install screen flashes and disappears. As far as I can tell the only thing that has happened at that point is that the folder pdnsetup2 is created in the D & S HP_Owner, Local Settings, temp folder.
By the way, at one point I had completely deleted the temp folder to see what would happen on boot up, but the same problem with %temp% remained.
Yes, I would like to attempt a work around if you are up for it.
While I think of it do you have any thoughts or comments about the path I listed in my previous post?
Thanks again.
