Setup.exe crashes when trying to install application

Question

Hello,

VS 2005 SP3

I have developed application and used the setup project to create the msi.

When I go to install on the users computer it crashes when I double click the setup.exe. It displays a message box saying to you want to send this error message to microsoft.

This happens on only 2 machines out of 6.

The 2 machines that are having this problem are running windows XP Pro SP2, and the other one SP3.

I am thinking does it have anything to do with anti-virus or anti-spyware software running on the users computers?

The information I get from the crash is below for both machines.

Many thanks for any advice,

Hello,

I think this had something to do with the software that was running on the computer. After a complete re-install the problem on longer exits.
