Software Deployment

Hi All,

My problem is 2755 error which I've been receiving during trying to instal Acronis True Image SW on my laptop. In spite very quick and professional help from Acronis I'm still having that problem and a vision of reinstalling my Windows is approaching quickly. Let me tell you that I've got about 150 programs already installed and the system is working more than two years.

My environment:
WinXP Prof SP3
windows directory = C:\WINXP
program files directory = C:\WPF
users directory =C:\Users
kl user has admin rights

I was trying to install two versions of this same program Acronis True Image Home. Version 12.0.9646 and a version 12.0.9709. Let say version A and B respectively.

During the installation A I received a message: 'System cannot read the drive specified' (or something similar to that) and after clicking cancel the second message: 'The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2755.' In the event log the event was recorded:

During the installation version of version B I received the message about that the installer has came across an error only without any more detailed specification. In event log I found the entry:

But I think that both errors are correlated.
After a few approaches of reinstalling I gave up.

What I did:
--according to Acronis indications I've checked that all services requested by that installer are ran. <<COM+ Event system, COM+ System application, Distributed Link Tracking Client, Distributed Transaction Coordinator, Remote Procedure call (RPC), Remote procedure call (RPC) Locator, Windows Installer>>
--I cleaned registry using the RegCure
--I reinstall Windows Installer
--I red the http://itninja.com/question/help-with-msi-1330 page and checked the acces to that C:\WinXP\Instaler directory.
--during installation in safe mode I received an error 1652 "Unknown win32 error(0xFFF0) code 80070674 tag 0xbd28fdbd64edb8b9" a possible reason might be that you do not have enough privileges.
--I successfully installed other programs. (Dreamweaver 8)

Is it my problem or Acronis installer problem? Could you suggest me what I should do further? Please don't tell me that I have to reinstall my Window$ only. Any reset installer command any place in registry to check the setting? What more shall I check? What's wrong?
