Could not open the dialog box of .msi files saying find a program to open the file type

In time, I used msi files to install many programs. But I know longer really since then, msi files could not open. Now, I can't open the msi installer, which I had used to install programs. When I click on the msi file, it displays a dialog box saying find a program to open the file type.

Hello

  1. Were there some recent changes to the computer before the show?

Method 1: I suggest you unregister and re - register the windows setup program and check if that helps you. To do this, please follow the steps below:

Unregister and register the Windows Setup program again

(a) click Start, click run and then type cmd in the dialog box, and then click command prompt.

(b) at the command prompt, type the following and press ENTER after each line:

MSIExec /Unregister

MSIExec/regserver

Method 2: When you run an .exe on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer file, the file can start another program.

    original title: problem with installation of iTunes

    Hi guys

    iTunes was running great until I tried to update to 9.0...

    I use a dell 17 with vista home premium with sp2 installed studio.

    in any case... I uninstalled itunes and quicktime and itunes now will not reinstall.  I tried the version 8.2.1.6 and I guess I can try the previous version... I also tried opening the HKEY and got in what concerns the OpenWithList, but he will not give me access.  I have no idea what I'd do if I got there, but I watched out of curiosity and was blocked...

    I had the exact same problem and error as you message the guy but he fixed earlier. I'm not an expert, or even trained somehow. I just worked through until I got everything to install. If you try this, please back up your registry first.

    In any case, here's what I did.

    First of all, I uninstalled iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Software updater toally, _-anything with Apple in the name.

    I opened regedit using 'run as administrator '.

    I then went to the registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-1-5-18\Components\DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8\108B43C0CEA676640B35306AE7D24051

    .. .and selected the folder DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8

    Right-click & click Permissions
    Click Advanced, and then click the owner tab
    Type "Administrators" in the current field of owners and th check Replace owner subcontainer and volumes

    (Note: I did this because I had another key with permission issues, after I fixed the original onelisted above)

    Apply the settings, and then click Permissions tab. Once more, add 'administrators' to the permission entries list, and then click on edit and select all the checkboxes of permission. Also click on the boxes of the 2 bottom regarding permissions inheritable.

    Click OK

    Now on the main permissions tab, choose administrators in the windows user name or group and then check the full control and read check boxes. Click OK.

    In the main window of regedit, you should now see the keys in the right pane for each subfolder in:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-1-5-18\Components\DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8

    In the menu bar click file > exit

    I downloaded and installed the new handset iTunes9 and apple Quicktime.

    Everything worked well. I hope this helps.

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know how important is able to open all your files in numbers is for you!

    If I understand correctly, you cannot open some files of numbers even from backups, but others continue to work. To limit this problem, I would suggest starting with the following steps:

    1. first of all, run disk utility and check for questions on your hard drive, as hard drive problems can lead to situations like yours.

    Disk utility (Yosemite): a disc repair

    2. then, you can test this in a new user, to refine, if it's a question broad system or specific to your username.

  • Satellite U405 - S2833 Fingerprint error: could not open the sensor

    Hello, I am very new to the forums so I apologize in advance if I don't give all the necessary accurate information in this thread.

    I have a Toshiba U405-S2833 and it came with the TrueSuite Access Fingerprint Software.

    I downloaded an update a few days ago, but I don't remember if it's for Vista or Toshiba. Since then, my fingerprints were all removed from the system, and when I try re - save, I get this error message "error: could not open the sensor" I can't find the material to fix the sensor manually without going through the TrueSuite software.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    I am also having the same problem.

    My boss uses a Satellite U405-2628 fingerprinting and with the sensor TrueSuite Access Manager. It worked fine, then I updated windows and it has stopped working. I was on the updates and noticed an update of TrueSuite and thought that maybe that was messed up things.

    Then there were other issues that went past me locked out of the machine (anti-virus and loss of relationship with the field... also my fault). So I decided to wipe the machine and install fresh Vista.

    I installed everything but the TrueSuite software still not able to open the sensor. After hitting my head on it, I decided enough was enough and I restored it using Toshiba recovery disks.

    It took a few hours and here I am logged in as administrator and the TrueSuite software still cannot open the sensor. I don't know what I can do, since it is to return to the factory settings.

    As the above poster said, HELP!

    Thank you.

    ... a little later...

    Well, I managed to do work, and this can be useful for some people out there since I found no easy answers. I can't guarantee anything, and it's really complicated... so here go us.

    First, I downloaded the latest update from Toshiba (util_fingerprint_27460A.exe) and nothing has worked.
    Then I uninstalled the sensor since (click right, uninstalled) Device Manager to uninstall the driver as well (it should invite you to do so)
    Then, still in the Device Manager, I scanned for new hardware and it came with my sensor. I said to look for drivers and when he could not find, I think it gave me an option for windows search for an answer... or something like that. He came back with a link to Authentec (www.authentec.com/win7update/w7wbf32.exe, I think). So I downloaded that and installed. He rose through the device under "Biometric devices" then before... I think it's under the "Personall security device" or something like that. But alas, still no luck. So I uninstalled all the device from the Device Manager (taking care of uninstalling the driver as well) and of the TrueSuite software. Then came the break I was looking for.

    Online research I came across this page... http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?action=download&driverid=1194755. I had the chance before to DriverGuide.com so I thought what the heck. It is a driver of HP for the same sensor and it is dated 2006. So I downloaded and installed. Still nothing...

    Disgusted, I thought, well let's try to install util_fingerprint_27460A.exe on top of that. So I did, restarted and I couldn't believe my eyes when he said to connect and register fingerprints not seriously. And so I did. I hope this helps people, I don't really know how the sensor I so messed up, but I'm glad it worked.

    Yet one thing... and this may be important. When I took TrueSuite first after doing all this, he told me that the storage of fingerprints was full... or something in that sense. So I clicked the button remove all traces of fingers button and it I would like to register my fingerprints. I'm starting to wonder if that was all I had to do in the first place... Guess I'll never know.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite U300 PSU3DA: error: could not open the file attribute execution of concept maps

    I have a PSU3DA-U300 which I changed from Vista to XP.
    This is because my main computer use will be for navigation (boat) and I was told that most navigation programs will work better with XP. I have almost nothing on my laptop so far, and the system already seems to be slow and freezing too often.

    My question is now on the program of concept maps which I just installed and which does not open. He repeats to me "Eorror: could not open the file attribute.

    What does that mean? I uninstall and reinstall the program, and he comes back with this message.
    I had a glance at the Device Manager, and the only thing that seems incorrect is the PCI memory controller.
    I did a bit of research on this and it seems that this driver is not required for XP? Is this true?

    Would this be a cause of C-Maps program does not?

    Thanks in advance.

    > I did a bit of research on this and it seems that this driver is not required for XP? Is this true?
    Where did you read this info?
    I put t know if the driver is not required, but you get all the drivers on the Toshiba site.

    For your problem with concept maps, I think that it is best to contact you that support the conceptual maps. Here, this is a forum for Toshiba laptops.
