InstallShield Wizard won't let me Install TES4_CS

[DeltaD36]

I've recently been wanting to install the Oblivion Consturction Kit to add hairs to custom races, but I've been unable to install it do to an Error that InstallShield Wizard keeps spouting everytime I start the program for installation.

 

I've got the following Error that pops up:

"An error (-5006 : 0x8000ffff) has occurred while running the setup.

Please make sure you have finished any previous setup and closed other applications."

 

And here is the stuff in the "Detail" tab in the below spoiler:

To get one with some things; I've tried turning off all Virus software and Firewalls, closed out ALL running programs, and still got the error. I also get this error when trying to install a Photoshop Trial, as well. I've Googled this issue and have found many related cases, but none that really helped.

 

Anyone have an idea as to what's going on? :/

 

Any information is helpful!

Well, there are various entries for that error code... Mostly dealing with windows update errors and registery errors.

 

You can try what was done in this thread:

http://forums.techguy.org/windows-vista/784740-solved-error-code-5006-0x8000ffff.html

Which is rename the install shield file (which should be in C/program files/common files/ or C/program files(x86)/common files/), or you can try the proposed solution from microsoft (though it's meant for the windows updater, it might work in your case as well seeing as it's the exact same error code):

Make sure you restart your computer.  Sometimes a simple thing like that is all that is needed.

I have done this. :/  Still nothing.

Try microsoft's solution. The guys there should know what they are doing (at least partially) and the error codes match.

It might just work.
