IIRC premiere pro was made to get around this problem.
I remember hearing that premiere has issues with XP (can't remember where though :? )

My suggestion is to run the compatibility wizard, and whenever that cd is in the drive, run it in Windows 2000 mode (and you might have to do it again for the program after it's intalled)

I'm not even sure you can run the compatibility wizard on cds, but any suggestion is better than nothing...right?

That's weird, I've got AP6 running on WinXP Home and I've never had any issues with it. But it came with my Wifes computer (which is also XP Home), as a promo deal, and it's a Limited version, so maybe they've fixed it up just for that purpose. But I'm curious why there error refers to C:\WINNT\System32, when it should be pointing to C:\Windows\System32 instead.

As far as the CD installation, I know there's gotta be a way to copy the disc onto the HDD and make it function properly. They may be able to simply copy it, but it's likely they'd have to rip it as a disc image. But then, it may not function properly as an .ISO, I'm not sure. I remember in DOS, (no comments please) there was a function called xcopy that would copy a CD's files onto a HDD verbatim. They may be able to perform this function through Windows DOS Prompt, or download DOSBox to do it. But make sure they do some research on these ideas first, cause I don't know what may or may not work. Good luck, to them anyway.

I also had no problems with 6, and I got my copy a few years ago and it always installed fine on all my comps with XP and mine and the other have XP Pro... so it is also a question I dont understand. It should just install with the Win 2000 interface but dunno
