-6001 Failed starting the setup launcher.
InstallShield is installed on the local workstation. Sometimes it can become corrupted. You can delete and/or rename the location where the local copy of InstallShield is located and then re-run the Novell SecureLogin setup. The local InstallShield location is typically found at:
\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Professional\Runtime\\
If this does not solve the problem, you can reference InstallShield technical document Q111519 for additional troubleshooting. The current URL link for that article is http://support.installshield.com/kb/view.asp?articleid=Q111519 .
