this happens sometimes. in my case installshield always gave me "unknown error"
there is software that can repair a broken installlshield but if that fails you may need to reinstall the OS

They want you to have it, instructions are there. Check your version number if you wish to get the same one [in program files\common files\]. Mine , XP home, is version 6, if that is any help.
