Setup.exe has stopped working.

When trying to unistall programs from the control panel uninstall application
I get the following error. I get this error for all programs I have tried to
uninstall not just one. Any suggestions?

"Setup.exe has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working
correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is
available."

I am having the same problem! Vista is causing me nothing but grief! The
people at HP dont want to take accountability. It has been one thing after
another. First Explorer stops working, then Norton doesnt work, now I cant
unistall software without this "setup.exe is not working" coming up! Someone
help because I am seriously ready to lose it. $2000 system and it keeps
failing me. I have had to do 4 system restores since having the computer 10
days.

I think I have figured out that ethe programs it will nto let me install are
not Vista Compatible. It stinks but I bought a Registry Cleaner and it
allowed me to delete theese old programs.

yes but this isnt about installing uncompatible vista programs. It wont let
me uninstall camera software which is vista compatible. Vista is so buggy I
dont know how they could release it with so many problems.

I got my computer and the Norton Anti Virus doesnt even work!

You don't think that Norton might be responsible for their
programs working on Vista?

Sorry Folks! I seem to be missing something here.
This is my first time at a forum of the like, so maybe I am missing the
obvious but, seems to me that having posted the statement, "Setup.exe has
stopped working", I did it 'hopeing' there were answers out there. All I see
is many others suffering the same but no answers of any kind. No solution.
No indication of practical and positive assistance in ameaningfull solution.
Is it a case of "Join the club of frustration" and suffer? are ms taking
some kind of wierd joy in all this or what ?? Sorry! I just don;t get it.

For what it's worth, I solved the problem for me by dumping the upgrade I
did from XP and installing Vista as a custom (clean) install.
Don't know your situation and I still have it stop maybe once or twice a
month while I am working. No solution from Microsoft yet.

Come on ! we need answers how to solve the problem... I get the msg Setup.exe has stopped working when I try to install a program/a game... give us the answer...

You really didn't give enough information to get an answer.
ARE YOU RUNNING THE INSTALLER AS ADMINISTRATOR?
Is the game Vista compatible?
Have you tried installing in compatibility mode?

Tried to run the game install the game in both 32 and 16 bit, tired to run as administrator, tried to run both compatible with XP SP 2 + administrator, the game is compatible with windows vista 32-bit. I think these details are enough
