Comment 2 Kirill Sorokin 2006-07-17 19:55:27 UTC
The term coke suggests that you meant the Enterprise Pack installer.. Moving.
Comment 3 Kirill Sorokin 2006-07-17 19:57:21 UTC
The stack trace that you attached leads to the idea that the InstallShield VPD
registry got corrupted. Please try moving it temporarily and see whether the
error goes away. The IS VPD Registry is located at C:\Program Files\Common
Files\InstallShield\Universal
Comment 4 ekimm 2006-07-17 22:40:48 UTC
Deleting the installshield directory as specified corrected the problem.
