Install Error message: invalid database

There were two circumstances when we saw this error occuring.

1) sometimes this error appears when people try to install without administrator rights. Please be sure that you install under an administrator account.

2) (with Windows XP-SP2) When you have saved the file during the download instead of clicking the run button, the file is blocked. The new Windows XP service pack 2 security blocks the content until you change the file property through the Properties dialog box. You may be able to start the installation but it will give this error message: invalid database

To open and view the file properly:
1. Right click on the icon of the downloaded file.

2. Select Properties from the menu. (see bottom of list)

3. Be sure you are looking at the General Tab. (find tab across top)
4. In the Properties dialog box of the downloaded file there is a security section at the bottom of the General tab warning that this file came from another computer and could pose a threat.
5. Click Unblock

6. Click Apply (bottom right)
7. Click OK (bottom left)
8. Double Click the icon to open the file to run the install.

Install Error message: "Setup.ini...Invalid Database...Installation will be cancelled."

One reason of this error message showing up is when the download was not completed somehow. If this is the case you can try downloading it again. Also try this alternative file download link.

Error message: Unable To Locate DLL (gdiplus.dll)

Windows 98/NT/2000 usage requires installation of the GDI+ package from Microsoft.

It can be downloaded here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=6A63AB9C-DF12-4D41-933C-BE590FEAA05A&displaylang=en

or here:
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?gdiplus

After unzipping, copy the "gdiplus.dll" file to the "c:\program files\ISA2\" directory.

Start ISA.

1) First time startup Error message "Range Check Error"

If after installation, the firsttime you run ISA gives this error, your probably need to restart your computer.

2) Error message "Range Check Error" when going to a passage or startup.

Possible solution:

First try running the program as an administrator (if not already).

Second, try resetting the settings by executing the file:
"c:\program files\ISA2\Reset_ISA.reg" (If ISA is running first quit ISA then run this program and after that run ISA again.)

If this doesn't do the job, download and run this little program - executing this program will clear all the registry settings of ISA2. (If ISA is running first quit ISA then run this program and after that run ISA again.)

If this also does not work, try deleting the whole c:\program files\ISA2 directory and install ISA again.
