Hmmm I own xsitepro 2 I use vista though have you tried running the program as administrator?

yes I get same box pop up it says:"decompression failed CEC error...if you downloaded from internet plaese try downloading again.the application will most likely not work correctly do you wish to conitinue to next file?"

CEC? you sure it isn't CRC ? that would have to do with protection error
just a second I will look it up and see if there is a way to bypass ok there is a program called cec computer error fixer apparently this cec is reporting a database inaccessability I thought it might have been a cylic redunancy check error but it seems this is a database thing.

what is protection error?

Hi,

that is a hard drive error cyclic redundancy check. not that big of a deal disregard the file you have re download the file using a download manager here what has happened is your computer has acknowledged there is an error in the data being installed it is usually a case that you will see with dvd or cd data but with a program it usually means the data has not been fully downloaded

If you are using a 64 bit system, then you must specify the default location for xsitepro data folder. I have read in this system xsitepro has issues reading the registry to find out the location.

not that it helps lol but I downloaded XSP 2 to windows 7 just fine so it can be done

Cheers
