Description:
When Installer tries to check requirements, the current task says just "label2" and fails with the attached error "Object...txt." If I click Back and Next, it will move the yellow bar at left but not change the right pane nor move past Check Requirements.

If I try to click Next again at Check Requirements, I get the attached error "Invalid...txt."

How to repeat:
Run Installer, and try to add/modify anything.

Here's the initial error as described.

Attachment: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.txt (text/plain), 5.37 KiB.

This error persists after the initial error.

Attachment: InvalidArgument=Value of '-1' is not valid for 'index'.txt (text/plain), 5.05 KiB.

Verified on Windows XP SP3. I've got the following when tried to install Connector/ODBC:
