ProSafe Plus Utility install ***IS_STRING_NOT_DEFINED*** ProSafePlus_Utility.msi cannot be found

The following is my install proceedure.

It looks like the msi file is put in a folder with a different name than it is expecting. See the inline picture.

Can anyone help?

    Hello cool2bdave, 

     

    Welcome to the community!

     

    I have tested installing the software v2.3.19 first before responding to your post and was able to do it successfully. I have searched for the error message and had a lot of results online pertaining to different things like the InstallShield,etc. Try installing with your firewalls/anti-virus off or try re-downloading the software on the link given above. 

     

    Let us know if this helps. 

     

    Thanks,

      Thanks for your reply.

       

      I have sucessfully installed on another machine.

       

      I have tried ProSafe Plus Configuration Utility v2.3.5 and v2.3.19 on my machine and it fails on both.

      I have also tried to redownload.

      I have disabled sophos

      I cannot disable my firewall.

      It is something specific to my machine.

      I have coppied the C:\Program Files (x86)\NetGear\ProSafe Plus Utility from one machine to the other and it works. It is just the istaller that is broken
