I'm having problems installing MySQL Server 3.23.51. When trying, I'm using all standard options during installation. Quite late in the installation -- it seems like after all files have been unpacked and copied to their proper locations -- I get an error message titled "InstallShield Engine".
Details: AppName: _ins5176._mp AppVer: 5.10.130.0 ModName: unknown ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00000000 Further details from Windows is located below this message. It is also impossible to uninstall using "Add and remove programs", it errs with message "The log file 'C:\mysql\Uninst.isu' is not valid or the data has been corrupted. Uninstallation will not continue.", so I have to uninstall it manually (using Explorer and RegEdit). I've been doing extensive searching on the Internet (for "_ins5176._mp") to find the solution to this. Similar problems have occurred for other users trying to install other programs and these people have been asked to: * upgrade the InstallShield application (impossible for me; I'm not packaging MySQL...) * delete all temp-files, try again * disable the antivirus software, try again I've tried all this; even tried to install MySQL in "Safe mode" with an absolute minimum of processes running. Same result. I'm using an English version of Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] with all available updates. It's a Dell laptop with 1,2GHz PIII and 512 MB. The install file I'm using is not corrupt. Help much appreciated.
