    Hi JDSoor,

    Thanks for posting. Two or more instances of the service Msiexec.exe cannot be launched at the same time for two different products. An install or repair processes should finish before the other process can be launched. Go to processes in the Manager of tasks (so press CTRL ALT + DELETE) then press the processes tab and look for to MSiexec.exe and press "end process." You may need to do more than once.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if this or do not resolve your problem.

    Thank you

    Hi marvinsadovsky,

    ·        What is the exact error you get when you try to install QuickTime?

    ·        You are able to install any other application?

    You try to install QuickTime by starting the computer in a clean boot state, because some background programs may interfere with the installation process. To put the computer in a clean boot state, follow the link below.

  • Cannot install new software

    I was not able to install a new software for a few months. When I tried to install the Windows Update my computer crashed. I spend hours on the phone get it upward and I am trying to copy all my photos on a backup drive so that I can enter the computer to diagnose the problem and not risk losing the photos, but it won't even download free Agent software to the top by car. It is said that it will fail to install. It is said:

    Windows install could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if Windows install is not properly installed.

    I'm not running in safe mode.

    Then he said: Error 1719. Windows Setup is not be accessible.

    Really, I don't want to lose my photos, how can I fix the installation software?

    Thank you

  • Update to Windows 7 RTM failing - error 80070652 - cannot install new software or run Windows Update successfully.

    I upgraded from Win 7 RC for Win 7 RTM on my 64-bit machine from Dell and started installing all my software.  Everything was fine until I started Windows Update and had a list of 15 updates that needed to be done.  Several have had agreements that I had to accept, he wasn't the normal process of "update in the background.  I had to leave and is concerned to let the process of continuous updating on its own and potentially hang, so I cancelled it.

    Since then, I can't install any software or to upgrade my system.  Updates fail with the error message "WindowsUpdate_80070652" which seems to be undefined.  In some cases, I get an error message another installation is running and the current installation or update cannot be performed until the end of the current installation.

    I restarted my dozens of machine time and then immediately began installing or upgrading windows - without success.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  It seems that there is a dead plant that does not block updates and installs.

  • I can't install antivirus software, because Windows XP reports that additional protector is installed, despite having removed the malware.

    I followed the instructions on bleepingcomputer.com as suggested and am trying to run a clean boot using msconfig to disable all startup programs and the non-microsoft services. reports of msconfig access denied error when you try to change a service.

    Suite McAfee was previously installed on this system, but is more work after that "Additional Guard" has appeared and has been uninstalled due to the failure of an attempt to reinstall. The McAfee software will not be installed successfully. AVG Free edition does not install because it indicates that the additional guard already is installled. I was able to run Malwarebytes Anti-malware to remove Additional Guard system and am unable to find any remaining files or registry keys. I scanned for rootkits, but was unable to find anything. What else could happen? More precisely:

    (1) what is causing access denied error in msconfig (I get this despite running as administrator in normal mode and safe).

    (2) If, if not in the registry, the false information on guard is running might be coming from?

    Let alone msconfig for the moment. To ensure that all references to McAfee are removed, use the removal tool.

    McAfee Removal Tool - http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507
    Reboot after running the tool.

    If the malware is really out of the system, and you can't always install AVG after you run the McAfee removal tool, you can try to reset the Windows repository that keeps track of security programs you have installed.

    Start > run > cmd [OK]
    The command prompt opens. At the prompt, type:

    net stop winmgmt [Enter]
    [Answering the prompt Yes or no with 'Yes'. See the message on the stopping services].
    CD C:\Windows\System32\wbem [Enter]
    repository.old repository ren [Enter]

    Exit command prompt and restart the system. Try to install AVG again. If it fails, you will have to enter back to BleepingComputer to ensure that your malware has been removed really. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Windows install-"error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name"; After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, cannot load new software. ____

    After an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, everything on the system seemed to work properly. up to what I tried to re - install everything deleted software or install new software.  As soon as Windows Installer starts the following error message appears: "error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name.

    If this could have something to do with the new pads MSFT security permissions on folders (with padlock) during a upgrade as well as related hidden junctions by compared to the user by the system?

    I tried to install the update system of Lenovo and MSFT Windows Installer Clean Up clean in the hope that the software would help alleviate my problems. See below the link on advice from MSFT on the same error.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/%2Fkb%2F328162

    Unfortunately, I cannot even load the previously recommended THAT MSFT software to solve this error.  I also tried to install the software as 'Run as Administrator' and in 'Safe Mode '.  Even if I could not load the software recommended to MSFT, I was able to install iTunes to Apple through Apple Software Update, I guess, that they do not use Windows Installer.

    With the new structure of junction there is several files or links to the same folder across file system, if it is a folder authorization number which specific files/links are I need to remove restrictions?

    Any help would be appreciated, if not I'll have to do a clean install and individually reinstall each piece of software... Thank you.

    I think I found the solution for this point, because I have just encountered the same problem in our environment and here's what I did to solve it:

    -Create a higher level permissions at the root of the folder redirection (for example \\servername\mydocredirfolder): grant the Group authenticated users the following permissions and apply it to "this folder only" ALLOW: list folders/read data, reading, reading attributes, read extended attributes, create files / add data

    I think the MSI is trying to read the free space on the disk on the server, but it cannot because it tries to access the folder where your my documents redirection is sitting.

    Good luck!

    Very frustrating because I've used it before - maybe because I have SP3? But I don't want to uninstall SP3... :-(

    Thank you!!

    Thanks for the info.

    MPEG files are problematic in all versions of Movie Maker.
    Best bet would be to convert the files to the. WMV format
    before you import into Movie Maker.

    There are many converters available on the net... some
    free... some detail.

    The following freeware converter is just one example:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Format Factory (freeware)
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
    (the 'direct link' is faster)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup280.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the final screens)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup280.exe out of the folder
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

  • Cannot install OS: "this identifier Apple has not yet been used.

    I just got my first Mac yesterday, a mid 2010 Macbook of opportunity. It's in great shape, works great, I was briefly very satisfied with my purchase. Then I tried to reformat/reinstall, as it does whenever purchasing a computer used.

    I followed the instructions here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204904 and when I got to the step three, after the failure of the hard drive, it wouldn't let me install the operating system. He wanted to connect first with my Apple ID, so I did an Apple ID, but now it keeps giving me an error "this identifier Apple has not yet been used in the App store" and then it gives me the opportunity to cancel or "review". Click Cancel simply cancels the installation, just by clicking on review also cancels the installation.

    An ID is not necessary, but there is no way I can see to avoid it say the instructions on this page. It was suggested that maybe I could avoid the connection on the way to recovery, rather than recovery of the Internet, but the Cmd + R and Cmd + Option + R give recovery of the Internet. I don't see any way to get to the regular recovery.

    I had a suggestion to install from the disc, but I have not all discs. If I could download it from somewhere and burn them then that would be nice, but the instructions on this page are pretty clearly that it should not be necessary to use disks. I should be able to do without signing in.

    So... what upward with who? Where should I go from here? Is it possible to do a regular recovery? Or bypass the Apple ID thing?

    You may think using DTM WITHOUT Media Manager. Use the procedures to uninstall/install sdgardne, but download DTM without Media Manager.  Once done,

    Go to options-support card on your BB
    The settings should be:

    Media card support: on
    Encryption mode: no
    Mass storage Mode support: on
    Auto enable mass storage Mode when connected: Yes

    Once activated, when you connect your BB via the usb port, a windows Explorer will open and show your device as another drive on your pc. Then, you can simply drag-and - drop your photos, videos, music, documents between your pc and the BB.
