When I try to apply the patch for airport Tycoon 3 the installer doesn't
finish and displays the following message:
1628: Failed to complete installation

I have tried to download the patch from various sites (also in various
sizes) but the error remains. Then I did a google (Installer Error
Messages) and came up with this site:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...r_messages.asp

Another google (Windows Installer) came up with this result:
_http://support.microsoft.com/?id=893803
_and I downloaded the latest version which applied just fine.

The details of the error from the MSDN library is as follows:

*1628* Invalid or unknown table specified
If you get the message error "Error 1628: Failed to complete script
based install" and followed the instruction above and it didn't resolve
the problem and you just create fresh installation packet by using
InstallShield tool, please disable "Cache installation on local machine"
option during the installation packet create process.
*
*

Here come the questions: where can I get hold of the 'Install Shield
Tool' and will it be possible to modify to the existing installation
packet?
