Sounds like it might not be a corrupted install exe file, but a
previously installed version that is corrupted.

Does the message box say anything else? With just "Corrupt installation
detected!", it could also be a support file or missing dll that the
installer needs.

A little googling found the following which may give you a clue or ideas
of further searches. Also run a virus scanner on the file before hand.

As a last resort, you may also be able to check the exe file by using a
zip file reader such as winzip or powerarchiver. You should be able to
extract the individual files that way, but it may be a bit of a task to
figure out where to put them.

Hope this helps,

Argg... I always find me stupid when i don't have find myself a such
easy solution. Running the .exe from C:\temp works, but now, even if
the installation succes, i'm not able to run the pmw sample based on
it... Looks like i've now to re-install pmw or somethings like that.

I'll find it...

Thanks a lot for your help.

Glad I could help. It's a shame BLT has the installation issues it does
on windows. It really needs to be repackaged correctly. Also you will
probably also need to do the following which I posted earlier on the
group, but will recopy it here as well. (That way it will be easier for
me to find it next time I need it. ;-)
BLT doesn't install in the correct directories on Windows. I found this
helpful.

1. Install BLT 2.4u into C:/Python23/tcl, using BLT's installer
(the one for Tcl/Tk 8.3). This gives you bin, include, and lib
subdirectories of C:/Python23/tcl, with all the BLT stuff in them.
2. Copy C:/Python23/tcl/lib/blt2.4 into C:/Python23/tcl/tcl8.3.
3. Put the BLT DLLs in a directory on your PATH (not necessarily a
system directory, it just has to be on your PATH)
