I am having problems installing the VW2008 viewer on my XP laptop. This already has 2008 on it, but I want the ability to view even of the dongle is not present.
It freezes at 85% - Copying file C:\..\Adobe81\Font\AdobeSongStd-Light.otf
The C:\..\ would appear to be C:\Program Files\VectorWorks 2008 Viewer\PDF Resources\
To check it was not a corrupt download, I downloaded again and got exactly the same error. The same download worked fine on my Vista installation.
I know its not a physical drive error as the drive was new yesterday but much bigger and it did exactly the same on the old drive when I tried a while back - I was tight on space at that point so thought that was the problem. The new drive was populated with a backup from the old system so, at a push, it could be a bad file system, but that checks out OK with chkdsk.
Totally repeatable but only on this machine. When it happens, clickingopn window I get not responding and notice that CPU is maxed out on the process.

Any suggestions? Can I omit the adobe files?
