I had to reinstall WinXP w/SP2 and now SETI won't install. It does absolutely nothing when I click on the exe file.


I just realized the following: the program is by passing the installation process altogether. It goes straight to the deletion of the temp dir it creates.


Just a suggestion, but think firewall. SP2 is firewall crazy. I had to turn off firewall to run some programs and then turn firewall back on. Worth a try anyway.



I tried that, it didn't work. Infact I disabled all running programs and it still didn't work.

Anyway, I got it installed by uninstalling SP2 and reloading S@H. Kind of drastic, but next time I will install it first before putting on SP2.
