Michael, there’s probably an event that, while not shown to you, was logged. If you’re curious to know the reason the process exited, you’ll be able to see
this in the Windows Event Viewer (start -> run -> eventvwr.exe). This will probably show up in the Windows Logs section (in the left nav), probably in either the System or Application area. Typically, the text of the exception will point you to a potential
cause. Look for something around the time the install failed.
Luck,
Jeremy

Thanks Jeremy. I had checked the event log and although I see the security check succeeded there is no other information I can relate to the failed install.

To date, I've had NO problems with any windows software running this way. 3 Weeks ago, I downloaded and installed the DynoMotion 4.3.2 software on a Windows 7 with no problem. This particular VM was one I was using to test CAM products so as not to contaminate my working Windows 7. It is this working Windows 7 machine that I am running into problems installing 4.3.2. I have verified that there is no virus software and that I am running as an admin but the install is still failing. One difference is that I did decide to purchase BobCAD-CAM and that is installed on this Windows 7 that was not on the other one that installed correctly.

Hmm. I wonder if it’s possible to run the installer in a debug or verbose mode. I’d even run it from a command prompt and then examine the exit code for clues.

Exit code wouldn’t be visible in the command prompt, you need to query for it. So, from the command prompt, run the installer, and then the VERY next thing
(don’t ‘dir’ or do any other thing in that command prompt session), run this:
echo %errorlevel%
This will always show you how the previous process exited.

Hi Michael,
V4.32 Install uses InstallShield that we have had problems with. I believe InstallShield broadcasts somethng to all running processes and if one doesn't respond how it likes it waits until it does. You can usually use TaskManager to see that it is still running.
Sometimes killing un needed processes can spring it back to life.
If you are not using Mach3 you can install on another computer and copy the directory to the Target Computer.
Our later Test Versions use the Inno Installer and should work. The latest Test Version is at:

Thanks Tom, I'll revisit this. I did reboot and attempted to install first thing but had the problem. I'll try again.
Hmm, I do have the install on another VM as I mentioned a few posts ago. I could copy that directory to this instance. I'll try that too.
I like to be on the cutting edge so maybe I'll go with 4.33 instead.
