Cannot write error 1310 config.msi...

Windows Vista Edition Home Premium 32 bit SP2

I think I have a problem with Windows Installer.  I get error 1310: impossible to write in c:\config.msi\...

It happens with Quickbooks first 2009 and a couple of other facilities.  I tried unsubscribing msiexec and re-application.  Does not help.  Any ideas?

Thanks - Lenox

Hello Lenox,

Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

If you have a disk of Vista installation and not a recovery disk, you can try an in place upgrade to repair the operating system.

The upgrade in place is a tool to fix the system. Thanks to the special upgrade process, we will be able to repair the system. The upgrade in place will not affect the settings like photos, movies, documents, etc. that are saved on the computer. Although this operation will not remove or modify the files and installed programs, I suggest always that you back up important files before you do. In addition, you may need to reinstall the device drivers after this operation.

The detailed steps are included as below:

On-site upgrade
====================
1 log on to the system first.
2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD in the DVD drive of the computer.
3. Click Start and select computer.
4. find the "setup.exe" file in the DVD-ROM and double-click it.
 
5. click on install now.

6. When you are prompted to enter the product key, please click Next directly without entering any key. The installation wizard will prompt and ask if you confirm to install Windows Vista without the key and choose please confirm.

7. When you get to the screen ' which type of installation you want', click upgrade to upgrade the Windows Vista system files.
 
Note: When running the upgrade on the spot, the system will restart automatically (several times) to merge the files and programs, please leave the computer alone and does not configure it until the 'upgrade on the spot"finished. The system should start Windows vista once it is upgraded. Once the computer is running "upgrade on the spot", you can go and leave the computer and it completes automatically.

I hope this helps.

Thank you

  • Error-2625 cannot write the file call node in NI_XML.lvlib:Save.vi

    I get this error when you perform a certain acquisition with a CoolSnap HQ2. The user defines its parameters, then these settings are saved in the file so that they can be easily identified later in the database. The error came to us when we did a test with 4 different parameters. We did: Laser X w / filter X; Laser X w / filter Y. Laser Y w / filter X; Laser Y w / filter Y.

    The first and the third is saved without errors, but the second and fourth receive errors.

    Someone has an idea, what happens? This is the vi I'm talking about.

    I forgot to mention that the name of filter attribute is 593/LP, could the "/" be the cause?

    Found the solution. It is indeed the "/" in the name of the filter that caused the problem. I replaced it with a '-' and everything worked

    Okie dokie.

    Well I dug on the web and found someone with the same problem, and they said that when they have disabled "McAfee VirusScan 8.5 Access Protection", this error has disappeared. If this applies to you, give it a whirl if you wish.

    But the best support that I found came from this website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838687. The jist of it is (trying to fix it yourself):
    Fix it myself to fix this problem yourself, follow these steps:

    1. Log the computer by using an administrator user account.
    2. Start Microsoft Windows Explorer.
    3. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    4. Click the view tab.
    5. Under hidden files and folders, click Show hidden folders and files.
    6. Clear the Hide extensions for known file types check box, and then click OK.
    7. Open the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data\
    8. If you are running Office 2003, right-click Opa11.dat, and then click Properties. If you are running Office XP, right-click Data.dat, and then click Properties.
    9. Click the Security tab.
    10. Click Advanced.
    11. Click the permissions tab.
    12. Click to select everyone in the list entered permissions and then click change.
    13. Click to select the full control check box.
    14. Click OK three times. If these steps do not resolve this issue, delete the Opa11.dat file or the Data.dat file in the following folder and then restart an Office 2003 program or an Office XP program:
      C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data

  • SQL Lite: Cannot write into the error of database readonly on release on appworld sandbox

    Hello

    everything was workin find in development mode, but when I downloaded and run my app from appworld sandbox I get the following error:

    SQLLite:

    "Cannot write to readonly database error"

    Thanks in advance...

    It is a database in your application / folder (i.e. comes your file .bar automatically during the installation)?

    You should not write in the app / folder in your application. This can be done in development mode, but it is intended only as a convenience for certain types of deployment of debugging (if you do not have to copy all the files on each time you make a change).

    If you have data in your application, what needs to be changed after the installation, it must be copied into the app. / data folder when the application first runs (or, at least, when it must first change).
