Cannot install the game "X2 the Threat" on my system

I am still unable to install X2 the Threat on my PC

When installing I accept the terms in the licence agreement, select destination folder. select default folder and hit Install.
X2 does not install and the following message is displayed:

Quote:
X2 The Threat - InstallShield Wizard
InstallShield Wizard Completed
The wizard was interrupted before X2 - The Threat could be completely installed.
Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again.
Click Finish to exit the wizard.
Why is the InstallShield Wizard interrupted?

Try to install as administrator. Failing that turn of uac just to install then turn it back on again.
I have used X3 Terran Conflict without hassle but this is a newer game.

Try installing it to a custom folder outside of the Program files folder. I've noticed with some games Vista can be a bit picky about what goes in there....not sure why though...

Have you tried running in compatability mode.
Turn off antivirus/spyware just to see if this works (turn it back on after).
Look in any error logs to see if that gives you any help.
Turn off any non essential programs, services or addons you have to vista.

Do your error logs give you any information?
Have you looked at the performance logs?
