Thanks to those who have replied. I have tried Ivan's suggestion of disabling exec-shield. This makes no difference. I have also tried Rick's suggestion of putting the session in a non-managed window. This also makes no difference. Sven's observations did not correspond with mine (re-starting X makes no difference). Again, thanks to the people who offered help. Any other clues? In particular, what _exactly_ does the error code 0x80010100 mean in this context? Also, is there some way of determining what version of installshield is used? I extracted the strings from the binary but there were no clues there.
