Description

When installing an iProcess product on Windows in GUI Mode the Welcome dialog is not displayed after running "setup.exe".

Even leaving the installer to run for several minutes does not result in the dialog being displayed.

Viewing the Windows Task Manager the "32-bit Setup Launcher (32 bit)" App can be seen as running.

All the installation requirements have been met such as:
1. Ensuring the correct pthread.dll is being used.
2. Copied the pthread.dll file to the C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64 folder.
3. The computer’s PATH system environment variable includes the %systemroot%\SysWOW64 folder.

Even workarounds such as below make no difference:
1. Copying the pthread.dll file to the temporary installation directory where setup.exe resides.
2. Deleting the temporary directory created when setup.exe is run.
