Can't get CC3+ to install

Hi Ralf or Monsen (and any others)
I had to reinstall CC3+ I had the 3.74 installer (and the Update 10). I cannot get the install program to install correctly - it says it has, then comes up with a cryptic message (I am trying it again, and will get back to you with the exact wording). I have tried downloading a clean copy from the Profantasy registration page, but the same problem. Can you help me here - I am nearly finished Helmonte map for the Community Atlas, and I guess I am fairly frustrated.

However, I removed CC3+ for the second time, reran the setup 3.74, got the same message, but then ran the CC3+ update 10, and all was well (except I will have to reinstall all my Bogies, Dunjinni and CSUAC2 groan) At least I can finish off Helmonte by tomorrow!
A student came to me for help, I was working as a computer lab helper, and she told me she thought she had broken the computer.
So I went and looked at the error message. I laughed, she panicked and almost shut it off. I pointed out I was laughing at the error message, which was silly, not her. I need to show this to my boss as the professor of your class supports this, not us.
My boss relunctantly came down the hallway and read it. He burst out laughing to. She got very worried.
He rebooted the computer and said he would call the professor.
The error message ? It had apparently given some programmer a difficult time of it, they had substituted their own error message, and forgot to change it back.
"Drive C: is out of paper ! Please add paper to drive C: !'
Even better are crashes with no errors whatsoever - just a freakishly scary hard stop...
As for paper for drive C, I always told people computers were really run by tiny pixies scribbling away furiously inside, just like the magical creatures (colloquially "laser readers") inside supermarket checkouts (it's a flashlight/torch really...).
I've actually gotten calls from my users twice about smoking coming out of a computer. In both cases, the computers did, indeed, stop working.
Wasn't an error message, but we had a weird crash on the POS (point of sale, though it stands for the other meaning, too) server, and the help desk was walking us through a special, hidden function to fix it. On the final screen, before it ran, was the following warning:
"WE RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT RUN THIS FUNCTION, EVEN IF WE TOLD YOU TO."
(It fixed the problem, in a lot less than the four and a half hours a restore would have taken.)
