Try disabling ZoneAlarm.

What program is it g231?

At what stage in the setup do you get the error message? Any other part to the message?

Have you also turned off all realtime anti virus etc and disconnected from the internet? (sorry had to ask :) )

As a last resort try to install in safe mode.

In one of the pages about this I see you MUST have c\program files (spelt like that) on your computer for it to install to, have you?

Although I may be way off with this.

Sorry g231 I don't know enough about this RoseOnline to make anymore suggestions.

As I mentioned earlier a trip to their forums seems the next obvious step.

I am no "gamer" but from my research a lot of those sites don't want to wait for any download manager.
Just Save it and extract and use their installer.Normally everything goes to 1 folder like CCleaner does.
Good luck,
:) davey

q231, your screen shot is definitely Vista.

Unless you found a really good Aero theme for XP, I can't help but think you are running Vista, and that could be the source of all your problems.

Can your archiving software extract the setup file, if not maybe UE can and hopefully it can and they have a normal setup file inside the archived setup.exe file.

Other than that maybe InstallShield is corrupted on your system, it can happen.

Got this from the Sun Java website about a corrupted InstallShield:
