Hi,
                It is a astro software free available to cast horoscope. I downloaded and as per the site instructions, i copied the fonts to my Font Folder and then change the compatibility to windows service pack 3 in xp, and clicked the phalit.kkk, which i renamed as exe as per the site instructions. But, when i double click the exe, renamed one, as phalit.exe, i get the run time error 53 and on okaying it , i found another error that file not found error. The file in question is there in c:kundalee folder, which i can see myself.
                            When i try to open the mdb file, i get the macro warning, which i enabled for this content. But still the error does not allow me to install the exe file with the same error popping up. For easy ref: i give below the link and i had not repeated the instructions here.
                                          What should i do ?

                             There i see the instruction that it will not work on windows 7 student or pro. I have windows 7 ultimate.

The problem is that explorer uses 3rd party files to show the icons of the files. So if one of those files is missing then you get that error.

I would run the latest version of ccleaner and run its registry cleanup. It should remove a lot of those bad registry entries pointing to files that are not there. :wink:

Hi, Shane,

                    Thanks.   Yes. You are correct. Moreover, when i unzipped the file, it shows the file name along with the usual path for extracting. So, instead of extracting the file in c:kundalee, the zip file got extracted in c:kundalee\Kundalee. Just deleted the files in this directory and copied the same. Then it worked with no error.The file concerned is full version of the software.This software contains more than i want.
                                        There is one more doubt. I downloaded the lite version in the link and downloaded with care to c:kundalee, but now i get the error no. 76 path not found.In the light version, there was only one exe file, without any data.
                                             Would not windows auto troubleshoot this error. Shane.When i clicked the troubleshooter it is always showing the problem exist, but no solution given for most of the trouble shooter
