SYMPTOMS

When you install a build of Internet Explorer, the package fails during the ACME setup phase. No error messages occur and the Active Setup Log.txt and Internet Explorer Setup Log.txt do not show any errors. Setup fails in the middle of the install.

CAUSE

Intel Landesk (an antivirus program) version 5.02 running in real-time scan mode causes this problem.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, you can temporarily disable the real-time scanning while installing Internet Explorer.

To do this, do the following:

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.


  1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
  2. Locate the value under the following key in the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\intel\landesk\virusprotect5\ currentversion\realtimescan

    NOTE: The above registry key is one path; it has been wrapped for readability.
  3. Change the value to 0 to disable and wait 30 seconds for this to take effect.
  4. Quit Registry Editor.
  5. Run the Internet Explorer 4.0 install program.
  6. Set the registry value back to 1.
