Yes I did try the "fixes" listed in the many Google responses.  No, none of them worked.  I have discovered one more factor that may give a clue.  The download that fails is the one that results from using the link provided in the Qimage progam itself.  That download which also has the name Q10-205.exe is only 4 kb in size.  I'm guessing it must be an upgrade patch.  If the same file is downloaded from the Qimage web page the file is approximately 6 mb and installs with no problem.  That doesn't answer why the first doesn't work and the second does but having gotten the desired result I am no longer pursuing a solution.  Thanks for your response.

Thanks Fred - Yes I have Googled many "solves" without any success.  Most of those relate back to Windows 98, early XP, etc.  My problem only occurs in the attempt to install Qimage 2010.  At least it has not raised it's ugly head anywhere else.  Just thought someone in a Qimage forum might have run across the same problem.

I don't see a more logical place to post this item.  I am using Qimage 2007 and successfully downloaded the 2010 (q10-205.exe) upgrade.  When I attempt to install the upgrade it fails with the error message "The NTVDM CPU has encountered and illegal instruction."  Any idea why this is happening?
