When I try to install Foxit Reader 3 (FoxitReader30_enu_Setup.exe) I get this error.

"Setup path is error"

I have full administrator rights on the machine and there is no problem with NTFS rights on the disc.

The machine is running Windows XP Professional with SP3 (32bits)

I downloaded the latest version from the website, but also with an older version I get the same error.

I searched the forum first to see if this was a known issue, but couldn't find anything about this error message.

This is strange. But I am wondering if there is a drive named C:\ in your hard disk?

Yes, it's the drive the system boots from and which holds the Windows and Program Files directories.

How many systems are you running? If you have more than one, that's probably the problem.
Please use Browse to select your path to be sure it's correctness.

I only run Windows XP on this machine.

I tried manually selecting the installation path, no luck.

:( no idea now. Would you please install Foxit Reader again and help to make a video for us? Maybe that will help.
I suspect your system makes the creating folder aborting.

Thanks.
