Installation stops when trying to install EHM 2005

Post by Perveld »

Hello

I bought EHM 2005 some years ago and have since installed it on a couple of different computers. I now want to install it on my latest laptop and the installation goes well until a certain point when it's "copying files". It always stops at about the same point and never progresses after that no matter how long I wait.
Can somebody please help me? Thanks!

Are you using CD or digital download?

The pause may be due to a scratch, etc on the CD. Try copying the contents of the CD into a temporary folder and try running the installer from there.

If that doesn't work, then try using the Run as Admin setting if you're using Windows Vista or higher. You may also want to try installing to a different partition if you have one (eg if you have a D: drive).

It's working now! Thanks a lot!!

I copied the contents of the cd into a folder and installed it from there as you suggested. Worked perfectly.. There must be a scratch or something on the cd although I can't really see it..
