The problem here is probably that you are running
MS-Windows or some derivative thereof. Last I heard
InstallShield is a program for installing software
on MS Windows systems. I've never heard of a version
for Linux.

I presume also that your copy of Netscape (Navigator,
Communicator, whatever you've got) is trying to
launch "UninstallShield" to remove the older version
of the NS software that you are trying to upgrade from.
There's probably some sort of temp or "lock" file that is
confusing their uninstaller.

Pretty pathetic programming, really. That sort of thing
is one of the reasons I stopped using and supporting
MS Windows so many years ago.
