[texpoint-users] Texpoint installation

Hi,
 
I am having exactly the same problem installing texpoint as Tamer (see
below). I've installed texpoint once before on a different computer and had
no trouble.
 
I have Sophos Anti-Virus, but disabled it prior to installation, and set the
powerpoint macro security to medium. I've tried to install several times
with both full and standard installs, with two different versions of Office
(2003 and 2002), and with two different versions of texpoint (2.12.1 and
2.0.3). Each time I get the same error.
 
I hope you can offer me some advice.
 
Cheers,
 
Warwick Bowen
