Question why I can't install this DVD player software

[jimdagys]

I have this Chinese DVD software player
http://rapidshare.com/files/283039767/hjsetup_3500.zip
that I have installed successfully on two Xp computers. However, on two other Xp computers, I was unsuccessful.
When I tried to start the program that I just installed, I got the following error message. (See screenshot 1,2 and 3)
My question is:
1) Why couldn't I start the program on these two computers (but could start the program on two other computers)?
2) How can I solve this problem?

rapidshare huh?
perhaps you should get this freeware from a more legitimate source.
try getting it from tucows or cnet - when people put stuff on rapidshare you have no way of knowing what they've done to it first.

BTW, this free software didn't get the best reviews - apparently there are better free DVD players for your PC.

Please just answer the 2 questions. I put the software on Rapidshare myself so that you have quick and easy access to the software, in case you want to analyze this particular problem I am having with installing this software. The original software site is in Chinese:

Could be anything - poorly written application (lots of those around), an anti-virus or anti-spyware product killing a file mod install (see that a lot nowadays as well) - I would suggest you go to the support website for the software and ask there first.

You also need to compare the XP machines that worked with the ones that didn't - are they the same ? What service packs ? What versions of .net ? What security and other patches ? All these things could make a difference.
