Referred to the earlier subject, I had tried all the possibilities suggested but installation still fails. Frustrated, so I've decided to upgrade my buffer & burning software to the newer version. It works great till 100% setup. Thanks for the advice. Problem solved I should say. Thanks again...

Thanks Harvey Muller, that solved my question.
