Default Error when installing - (***IS_STRING_NOT_DEFINED***)

Hi there,

Just purchased Hitman: Blood Money and im already dissapointed to find myself with issues installing this game..

When launching setup, I get two errors, the first one being the following:

"Setup has experienced an error.
Please do the following:
-Close any running programs
-Empty your temporary folder
-Check your Internet Connection (Internet-based Setups)

Then try to run the setup again.
Error Code: -6006"

However, I seem to have managed to solve this one, as it is no longer showing. The second error I get every time the install shield wizard prepares, is:

"Error Code: -5009 : 0x80040702
Error Information:
>Ctor\ObjectWrapper.cpp (163)
>Ctor\ObjectWrapper.cpp (402)
>Kernel\Component.cpp (1163)
>Kernel\CABFile.cpp (389)
>SetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp (1541)
PAPP:Hitman Blood Money
PVENDOR:Eidos (***IS_STRING_NOT_DEFINED***)
PGUID:A804B134-F03D-4EFD-9BC0-DCD257AA1B22
$11.50.0.42618
@Windows XP Service Pack 2 (2600) BT_OTHER 55456.18"

From looking at setup.ini it looks like there is an error at the line that says "CompanyURL=***IS_STRING_NOT_DEFINED***"

I tried copying the DVD to my harddrive, editing the setup.ini and then running - this stopped the error but the install didn't work at all and was completely messed up (dialog boxes with no text etc).

I have installed the latest direct X and the latest stable graphics drivers - still, I get the second error. I have also cleared temporary files, scanned the disk for errors and closed all applications running.

Here is the computer's spec:

AMD 64 3000+
512mb RAM (In need of an upgrade!)
Nvidia GeForce 6600GT
160GB Maxtor drive (13GB free)
Windows XP & SP2

I'll try installing the game on my other computer which is much better spec, however It would be much better to be able to play it on the one above as this means my brother doesnt have to nag me to go on my other pc.

Update: I have just successfully installed the game on my other computer, but still need it working on the other computer!

Update: I have solved this problem for myself, by copying the installed game from the working computer to the one with the problems. It seems the computer with the problems was having trouble with installshield. This has solved my problem, however, if anyone else experiences this and they only have one computer, they may still need help in figuring out how to get installshield to work.
