Title: 1607: Unable to install InstallShield scripting
Post by: Old_Soldier on October 06, 2005, 07:42:51 AM

The full message was 1607:  Unable to install InstallShield scripting runtime.  Occured when trying to update/install Quick Time.  Some fixes asked me to edit the Registry which I absolutely don't want to mess with.  Any ideas?  ???

Same goes for the realplayer virus.
