I got MSI File initialization failed: ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE The OS are XP with SP3. I have tried to copy the dvd to a local folder and run the install from there but no luck. In the log file I find this warning and error. I have also attached the log file. [code]20:10:20\|.... \|MsiEnvironment::AddProductByPath() \|(07) OpenDatabase completed.

I have no experience at installing V12, but do have similar issues related to trying to install in an incompatible way and this gets around it. If you have the software installed in say "C:\TEMP\V12DVD\", you can make up a new drive letter and install from that drive letter using the subst command-line command. Start->Run->cmd.exe C:\> subst s: c:\temp\v12dvd C:\> s: C:\> <run the install command from the s: drive using explorer or type it here> When you are done with the install or want the s: drive to go away: c:\> subst s: /d
