I'm trying to install drivers for a new Nvidia graphics card on my machine. It is an Asus en9600 GSO. I'm running Windows 2003 Server standard.
When I launch the Nvidia 175.19 Geforce 32bit for Windows XP executable on my machine, it starts going through the install process and creates a folder to install into. About a second after the Installshield screen pops up, however, everything quits without an error message or anything. Gone!
This is not the only installer I have had problems with - pretty much anything with an Installshield installer craps out.
I've tried turning off data execution prevention for all programs except the Windows processes.
I've tried the drivers from the Asus (my brand of graphics card) website and the .exe available from Nvidia. The card is OEM and comes without a drivers disk. When I have Windows search for an updated driver online, it calls my card a "standard vga adapter" and says that the driver is up to date.
I'm not quite sure how to get around this one...
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to download the Server 2003 drivers for your card.

What version of the MS Installer do you have installed?
