Irule Editor Won't Install

I just go a new laptop with Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 and I am getting the same dialogue box that pops up when I try to install Irule Editor, whether I save it to my desktop, use the zipped archive, or run the installation straight off the F5 server.

 

 

The dialogue box says Cannot Start Application. Application installation did not succeed. Cannot locate application files on the server. Contact the application vendor or administrator for assistance.

 

 

 

Here's the installation failure log:

  • By the way, I am logged in when I download it and I download the irulersetup.exe file okay. It is when I open that and select Run and then select Install to install it that it bombs out.
  • Success! I got a connection outside of our network and voila, downloaded fine. I was starting to suspect our web security might be blocking the DLL. Sorry to take up anyone's time chasing a ghost.
