Very odd. Was this a DOS-based installation program, perhaps? Just curious.
Basically, an access violation occurs when you or a program attempts to
replace a file that is currently in use by the system. A good rule of thumb
to follow when doing installations is to ensure that no other programs other
than Windows itself are running. For example, don't have MS Word running
when trying to install a new version of MS Office.
