[thelist] install EXEs not doing anything

Hi there,

I've recently found that I'm unable to install any new programs - Adobe 
Acrobat and a program called Cumulus both failed.

I double-click the install exe file, the egg-timer appears for a few 
seconds, and then... nothing. It doesn't hang or anything, just, nothing 
happens.

Would NAV be a problem when installing new apps?
I've tried disabling the auto-protect feature, but that didn't do any good.

Any ideas? I'm on XP Pro, and I'm an admin.

Thanks very much - Dunstan

p.s. I tried running the exe from within a cmnd window in the hope that 
might generate a visble error, but the same thing happened, and no error 
was produced.
