Trial Install Hangs after 5 seconds NO ERROR MESSAGE HELP!

[mlauenstein]

I hope someone can help me. I am running XP Media Centre and have downloaded
the 60 Day Trial for Project Standard 2003.
Once I get past entering my name and accepting the licence agreement, I
click INSTALL and the install runs for about 5 seconds and the blue bar gets
about half-way across the screen and then the install freezes. About 30
minutes later the install tells me that it cannot continue.
Any ideas?
I am logged in as Adminstrator.
I have tried Custom Install & Standard Install. Same result.
Thanks in advance.

mlauenstein,
I don't know how XP Media Center gets into the equation but it almost
sounds as if, a) your hard drive is out of room, b) you need to run a
disk utility scan/repair on your system, or c) you have a virus.

Hope this helps.

Thanks John,
I hope it's not a virus.
Definitely not out of space.

I tried logging in as a non-administrator user and then running the install
program as Administrator and I went shopping and when I came back it had
installed successfully!

I will look into the virus possibility.
Thanks again.
