1225 RSS install problem w/ Win XP

I recently went to install the new "XP friendly" version of the 1225 series RSS on my programming computer (from an original factory CD). The computer is running XP Professional.
When I try to start the program I got an error window that says "RSS DLL not found", and the program terminates.
There is a 1225rss.dll file in the program directory.
I installed the program using all of the default values and locations, except for changing where I filed the icon group on the start menu.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the package. I tried, just for yucks, placing a copy of the dll file in the Windows\System32 directory.
No luck.
Has anyone else run into this?
Thanks!

Just for verification, you are referring to Ver. 4.0, correct? I have it on my XP Pro maching running flawlessly.

I had the same issue after installing some other CPS. A reload over the top of the exsisting installation corrected it.

Yes, it's version 4.0.
I tried reinstalling over the previous install, still no luck.
Harumph!

You should also have the following DLL's in the 1225 directory:
ISREG32.DLL
ComThunk32.DLL
serialcomm_dllpackage.DLL

Got 'em all, although the one is actually showing as "_ISREG32.dll" Do you show the underscore in your directory?

Mine shows the underscore as well.

Yes, I unintentionally missed the underscore. I'm working on finding out what DLL's the installation puts into other directories...I know the 3.2 version installed several. I normally use "DLL Show" to see everything called up by a program...however, it only shows true 32-bit Windows programs...1225.exe doesn't even show up in it's 'running programs' list.

No joy. I ended up just taking out a second computer with the 1225 pacakge installed.
I was able to install the program with no problem on my desktop. I did notice an odd thing- on the problem laptop, it installed all of the .dlls in System 32, but none in System. I tried copying them over manually, but still no luck.
The problem computer also has a Windows update that it can't seem to figure out that it installed already (it keeps wanting to install it again), and some sound card issues.
As soon as I can find a calm day or two, I think it's going to be time to back up the data, wipe the machine, and try again.
Harumph.

Must be a registry thing, not pointing to the right directory or something. Sounds like it has other issues as well...I second the wipe & reload.

OK- Just to bring this one back from the dead-
I finally got around to completely wiping and re-building my notebook. Guess what? Same issue, even with a clean install.
I just sort of walked away from it shaking my head and decided to worry about it some other time.
Then, just yesterday, I went to install the MagOne CPS. It complained about a couple of out of date Motorola dlls. I told it to go ahead and replace them with the newer versions. (Unfortunately, I didn't note which ones)
Surprise, the 1225 software now works too!
Obviously it didn't like something in the original install. I'm still puzzeled because the install was done from a genuine /\/\ CD that had installed just fine on other machines.
Weird.
