During the install of Boinc 5.8.16 using boinc_5.8.16_windows_intelx86.exe a popup window appears with the message

Internal Error 2718.
{BCD5E7DE-E306-47C7-B9A1-45B2E5FA477}

clicking OK clears the window and places you at Finish on the install screen. The software is not installed. Repeated attempts results in the same problem. I am using Windows XP Home SP2 Intel P4.

Any suggestions to correct install error welcome---

According to the MSDN library:

Windows Installer Error Messages

Windows Installer errors have an error code of 1000 or greater. The error codes numbered 1000 to 1999 are ship errors and must be authored into the Error table. The error codes numbered greater than 2000 are internal errors and do not have authored strings, but these can occur if the installation package has been incorrectly authored. For a list of reserved error codes, see Error table.

2718 Missing package name for product code '[2]'.

Wander
