Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library error.

I'm trying to install Pro Tools 8 on a brand new computer (running XP, and no, IE8 is not installed) and when the menu pops up when I put the disc in, and I click "Install Pro Tools LE," I get one of two error messages:



I could not find any information about this error happening with Pro Tools. Is there any way this can be fixed?

is antiviurus software running??

Norton
pardon my computer illiteracy but is that good or bad in this situation?

Norton is a system hog and I would disable it when you are working in PT.

This error can have several causes:

- incompatible plugins
- Pace driver not up-to-date
- a client has a sloppy programmed rewire connection (Fruity Loops)

But in general it would be good if you posted your system specs:

This is the computer I bought with what I imagine is everything that would be helpful to know.

Dylan, just curious, what are you planning to use for an audio drive?

temetrepo, you might consider starting you own thread on this, you have a different system and the solution could be very different also.

Be sure you do not have IE8 installed.

[temetrepo]

thx TOM@METRO

I wish I could answer that but again my computer illiteracy prevents me from doing so...
