GNAT 3.15p installer on Windows seems build with InstallShield.

It seems to be an error that propagates from an ActiveX control 
(InstallShield uses a lot of ActiveX controls... the installer engine 
itself is an ActiveX control).

unfortunately, the error code won't help. (i don't want to go into 
details of the structure of windows error code) they are from 
FACILITY_ITF, which is an interface specific class of code. so the 
real meaning depends on the ActiveX control which generated the error.

i had a similar problem once with an IntallShield installer, it was 
due to access rights and system policy, so check that first. the 
InstallShield website had a great section on problems with installers 
which helped me a lot, try it too (if it still exists).

or maybe the error does not come from the installer...
