Thank you for this post. It helped me fix the same problem.
I just had to recreate the directory C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu Start\Programs\Startup !

She’s really great this info... Thanks Grunk for clarifying that you had added the directory "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup". This also helped fix my error "0x80040707" that I had during the Windvd V8 installation.

Hi RV_83
This type of error number can also appear in other installations (Cold Fusion installation) if it’s correct:
Unhandled Exception
Error Number: 0x80040707
Description: Dll function call crashed: ISRT.GetPorts
Setup will now terminate.
We remedy it by disabling the printer spooler during the installation. Tested, it’s quick …
To disable the printer spooler:
Start menu / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services → right-click on "Spooler" → "All tasks": Stop → Properties: Disabled or Manual, you restart, you verify that the spooler is indeed stopped, you install your program. After the installation you restore the printer spooler.
Tell us if it works.
Cheers

Hey Laumi, I did what you told me but the installation still won’t work and on top of that, when I click on Administration tools there’s nothing there!!! what should I do?

Thank you for the info. I’ll try.
Thanks again.

Re.. It is possible that this is a protection against multiple installations.. it's almost probable (given the error message)...
Good luck, good luck, happy new year 2004 and see you later Chi va piano va sano..chi va sano va più lontano e più alto

Hello I think I found the solution.
Any error starting with "0x" is associated with an incompatibility issue with the InstallShield program, which allows all components to be installed. To fix this error, locate the "InstallShield" folder on the computer (its location varies depending on the operating system but is usually "c:\Program Files\Common Files\") and then delete it.
Rerun the installer. The installation will proceed correctly. See you later

I also think it's an issue with multiple installations because I have this problem with Zoombrowser and now I can't uninstall it. HELP

@hourrrahThank you, I took suppress plus and it works very well. Plus, I discovered a nice site.

Ok it's not a very proper method in the sense that it dodges the problem, but copying the game from the disks into a common directory and then launching the install from there solves the problem (at least for me with XP and Splinter Cell 2)
Good luck!

Hi Patrick,
If you’re on Windows XP, here’s a lead:
Start…Run
Type Regedit
Click OK
Browse to the registry key path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\User Shell Folders.
Verify that the values and data match:
Common Desktop %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop
Common Programs %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu
Common Startup %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Common Start Menu %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu
If not, modify or add them.
Keep me posted
Best regards and see you soon

Hello, I notice I’m not the only one experiencing this error. 0X80040707, I have this error number when I want to install the game LastChaos. I was playing the game without major problems, but after a system crash I could no longer launch the game, so I uninstalled the game, performed a defragmentation, then rebooted, and reinstalled the game.
but barely after choosing the installation directory I validate and this error appears.
"error Number 0X80040707 description: DLL function call crashed : isrt._SetTitle"
I have seen the previous posts, but none of the cited solutions fit this case. I thank anyone who might have a solution that could restore things.
my regards

Resolved.
Hello, I asked a friend to download the game in question and burn it for me; he did it and gave it to me. I copied it onto my PC, then installed it without problems, so I think the issue came from an error during the download of the said file.
thank you

Hello, I also have an installation issue but for PowerDVD 13. When installing, at about 68%, I get this error: "Error code: 0x80040707" "Description: DLL function call failed:" "SKUtil2008.SK_ModifyDefaultFileAssociation" "The Setup Wizard will now terminate" Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem? Thanks in advance
