Installing Stock Investor Pro

I'm trying to install Stock Investor Pro, a Windows application
produced by the American Association of Individual Investors, running
Virtual PC 7 (Windows XP Home) on a G5 Mac.

The disk mounts and the installer starts up, but then produces the
following error message:

ComponentMoveData had the following error:

Media Name: DATA
Component: Report Files
File Group: Report Files
File: D:\REPORTS\compcomp.rpt
Error #: -2147024809

AAII's tech support was not very helpful:

"Unfortunately, we cannot provide support for Virtual PC, as Stock
Investor
is a Windows-based application. The "-214" error, in native Windows
systems,
typically stems from not having administrative rights."

They make it sound like I'm trying to run Stock Investor under OS X.

Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions before I return the software
for a refund? Thanks.

Barry

Try enabling script menu items from the VPC preferences and then run
the "Toggle Compatibility Mode" before you launch/install the app... If
that works, toggle it back off again when you're done, as it will
effect performance.

If I remember from the old Connectix board, that exists to help with
programs that make use of self-modifying code, which is usually done
with anti-piracy protection. They may have applied some anti-piracy
measures that are causing this.
