I tried installing Writelog several times yesterday and the files would not 
extract.   I just tried it again today after installing other non related 
software and Writelog installed.

The CD only lists the version as 10, however I opened Writelog on another
machine and the version is listed as 10.31C.  It installs fine on other
computers running XP Professional SP2 so maybe it just wont install with SP
3 for some reason.  I hoped someone would suggest a Microsoft download that
would make this work, but that hasn't happened.   I made 11,000 contest QSOs
using this software in March.  It has worked well for me for a number of
years and it meets my current needs so I really do not wish to change
versions at this time.

John,

V10.what?  How old is your CD?  Starting with V10.56 in Oct. 2005 a full
install uses the .msi file and Microsoft installer.  If your CD is earlier
than this it will not work with your Windows XP system.  For a while after
V10.56 there were two versions of update releases;  those for msi installs
and those for non-msi installs.  There has now been a lot of water over the
damn since Oct. 2005 and I don't believe WL comes in two versions anymore.
So the first thing is to check the complete version number of your CD.
