Ant time I try to install anything that needs to place files inside documents
and settings I got the following error: Error 1324.The path Documents and
Settings contains an invalid character. I really need to install
Lightscribe support software for my new dvd burner and can't. I also tried to
download music from Walmart.com and they need to install a proggie before I
can do that and neither works because of this error. For security I have
System Restore disabled or I would try that. Running XP pro sp2.

See "You receive an invalid character error message when you install
Office XP" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292582).

Thanks but that didn't help. Although, it did help me to search futher and
this link : http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=325069 "Error 1324. The
folder path 'Documents and Settings' contains an invalid character" error
message when you install Office 2000" did help. But now I get halfway through
installation of Lightscribe support and get this error: Internal error 2755.

Found it myself. Updating windows installer3.1 fixed the new error.
