Resolution

If you encounter a catastrophic failure message during the Label Program setup, it is likely due to damaged InstallShield files. Follow these steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Rename the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information to C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information.old.
  2. Rename the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\InstallShield to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\InstallShield.old. If you receive an access denied message, reboot the computer and try the rename again.
  3. Run the Label Program Setup program. It should successfully install.
  4. Shift+right-click the desktop Label Program icon and choose "Run as administrator." If prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, provide the necessary information. After the Label Program starts, close it to create any missing files and/or registry keys.
  5. Download OCLCPermissions.
  6. Right-click OCLCPermissions and choose "Run as administrator." If prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, provide the necessary information.
  7. Click the "Set Full Permissions" button.
  8. Verify that the top six entries all say read-write.
