As for renaming the install shield dir did not help. Same problem. The install path - you don't get that far in the wizard to be able to spec the path. The error occurs during the install shield wizard launch.
Managed to solve the problem by simply doing an - Add new programs from the Control panel and selecting the setup.exe file. Go figure. The problem may stem from a crappy installshield setup. On our first pass of installing Windows Enterprise Server 2003 64bit we installed the OS with Insight manager. This install did not ask for disk 2 of the media. All appeared fine from the OS side and setup.exe worked. We reformated the box and did a reinstall but this time not using Insight manager. The OS install this time did ask for disk2 which I think has the 2003 R2 changes. This time the AR server setup.exe (as well as the email setup) gave us the error.
