I remember that there is, at least, one windows installer that just won't work. Try Dave's suggestion, and replace the installer with the one that is known to work (no guarantees though).

thank you, I read it should be used replacing se setup.exe file in the installation directory containing all necessary files, but I could not use it with a standalone installation package with all files in it, unless in such situation I use an "unpacker" which deploy all files contained in it.

That sounds about right.

ODIN is not really used any more, other than as DLL support for ported programs. What, exactly, are you trying to install? Somebody may have tried it, or suggestions about alternate programs can be made.

nothing to be considered a matter of "life or death" , it was Paint Shop Pro 7.  I've recently discovered in Joop's Java applications page a good similar one, Java Image Editor
