edrawings 2009 install error 1606

whether I install from the DVD, or install over the web, orcopy the DVD to a share and then install (always using thesolidworks installation manager) eDrawings 2009 will NOT install,always giving a 1606 error.

I looked this error up in the knowledge base, followed thesuggested fix, rebooted, etc. but STILL get 1606 error.

edrawings has always been a nightmare to install anduninstall...why?

please comment if you've experienced this 1606 edrawings installerror...SolidworksEdrawings
