I don't know HOW MANY times I've been bitten by this bug. Mostly Ubisoft games.
You install some program, and it gets 99% of the way through the install, then shouts 'Installshield has been interrupted' after sitting at the 'Publishing Product Information' screen for some time.
Then your application is -gone- (or at least, not installed properly).
This problem arrived with the installation of Windows XP SP2. It affected products such as Call of Duty 2 demo, Pacific Fighters, and Far Cry patches -- they would all bomb out with 'installation interrupted'.
I tried an awful lot of things, and read a ton of crap responses on dozens of web-based discussion forums around the place.
Such responses as
Flexera Community Forums > Products > Legacy Installer Products > DevStudio > InstallShield DevStudio 9 (Windows Installer projects) > The wizard was interrupted before [APPNAME] could be completely installed. I have an installation that appears to installing the necessary (all) files to run for program or software. However, at the end of installation when the Setup Completed dialog is shown, the following is message is shown: 'The wizard was interrupted before could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified.
'Make sure your DVD/CDROM is clean'
'Does your CPU support SSE?'
'Install from ADMINISTRATOR account'
'Reinstall Windows XP'
'Microsoft Distributed Transaction Controller Service needs to be started'
'Delete registry entries associated with the product'
'Delete < name a registry setting > '
or even such classics as

- Free Download. Using Chromebooks? MatchGraph Version: 2.2.0. Home / Support / Tech Note Search / Installshield wizard was interrupted before DataStudio could be completely installed. CI-6870 DataStudio Software (Single User) Problem/Symptom: When installing DataStudio, the following message.
'install on a different computer'
One that works (but sucks!) is 'Uninstall SP2'.
I did this to install Pacific Fighters, uninstalled SP2, installed Pacific Fighters, then reinstalled SP2 -- the first patch that came along bombed out with 'installation interrupted', and I couldn't be bothered trying to fix it.
So, the root of the problem:
The problem is a LOCAL SECURITY SETTING which was changed by Microsoft with the introduction of SP2.
'Impersonate a client after authentication'
By default this is DISABLED (unpopulated) when you install XP SP2, whereas in SP1 it was populated with Administrators group.
To fix the problem you have to add yourself to the policy setting, THEN restart your machine, and then you'll be able to install the product.
Once you have added this information and closed the applet, you MUST logoff the computer for the setting to change. I find it more thorough to restart the computer than just logging off, but thats personal preference. If you don't logoff, your security descriptor isn't changed, and the error will persist, even though you have 'changed' the setting in question.
I added the Administrators group, the Services account and my own account to the setting, restarted windows and viola, I was able to install the Far Cry 1.3 patch which had been eluding install.
This bug has been annoying me for a long time. I'm utterly surprised that more people haven't smacked up against it, and that the SOLUTION is so hard to track down.
