Hi All,

I am having the same problem. This is the same problem that a lot of
people have had with Vista, as I've seen similar error messages posted
on the web. Here is mine:

Error Code: -5004 : 0x80070002
Error Information:
>SetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp (3085)
PAPP:Oblivion
PVENDOR:Bethesda Softworks (http://www.bethsoft.com)
PGUID:35CB6715-41F8-4F99-8881-6FC75BF054B0
$11.0.0.28844
@Windows Service Pack 1 (6001) BT_OTHER 17472.251

Anyone who can help it would be appreciated. I've tried running the
setup program in a number of compatibility modes to no avail.
