Each installation of the PATCH fails after installing Windows updates

Hello

I would like to report a problem, I think it's a bug of Windows introduced by one of the Windows updates (unfortunately I could not know who of them).

Here's the test scenario:
1. install a fresh copy of Windows on a test computer
2. install all the Windows updates available (so the system is up-to-date)
3. create a sample MSI installer that installs only some dummy files (let's say Product Version 1.0.0) and host on a web server

4. install the MSI from the online location using a command line like this:

msiexec /i http://server/share/package.msi

5. create a. Patch MSP (e.g. v1.0.1) which only adds a new file to v1.0.0
6 install the patch v1.0.1

RESULT: the installation of the patch fails with the following error message: "the file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect."

NOTES:
1. the question has replicated to Windows 7 and 8 machines updated
2. the question is not replicated on a new install of Windows without updates applied

Is anyone aware of what may cause this error? Once again the patch installation fails only on Windows computers with the latest updates installed.

THX,

Daniel

    Hello

    Welcome to the Forums Community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

    According to the description, you get an error message "FAILED CONNECTION USER INIT" after installing Windows updates.

    From my research, this problem occurs if the Userinit key in the Windows registry has been changed. For example, this problem may occur if the Userinit key has a value, but no binary data.

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below.

    Method 1:

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2: Check the value and binary Userinit registry data

    Important: The following instructions contain the steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information, view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    Back up the registry
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    a. start Registry Editor. To do this, click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

    b. click continue.

    c. Locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    d. in the right pane, right-click Userinit, and then click change.

    e. in the value data box, type hard disk:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe, and then click OK.

    Note: The placeholder of the hard drive refers to the drive on which Windows Vista is installed.

    f. close the registry editor.

    g. restart the computer.

    Method 2:

    Restore the system to an earlier point before installing this application.

    System Restore can return your files system to a point in time before you noticed a problem, without affecting documents, photos, or other personal files. If the system restore does not resolve the problem, you can undo the restore operation and choose a different restore point.

    If its a major update, I recommend you put the computer in a clean boot state and install it again in order to minimize interference that could cause this noise problem.

    Put your system to the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    Hello

    XP disk will not help you to fix Vista

    As the system restore does not try a startup repair and / or a restoration of the system using a Microsoft Vista DVD

    Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.

    Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

    If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/repair-Windows-with-Windows-Startup-Repair/

    Table of contents

    1. Overview of Windows Vista repair options
    2. How to perform an automatic repair of Windows Vista using Startup Repair
    3. Advanced Tools Overview
    4. Conclusion

    If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.

    Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

    Here is a link to it:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2011/Windows-Recovery-discs-updated-reinstated/

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    And here are a few ways to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

    I installed windows 7 & my ATI-RADEON XPRESS 200 SERIES is stopped by windows 43.It code stipulates that drivers are ok... but it is not recognized... I also downloaded a few 3d Screensavers & they worked very well now, it is not able to open the screensaver because of the video card or to be compatible with Direct 3D... This question has not pop up until after you have installed windows 7, I have checked & found a lot of problems with windows 7 & ATI-RADEON XPRESS 200 SERIES drivers or recognition. Tried to update the driver but the States, it is far, but windows 7 is having a problem with drivers... Y at - it a fix for this, looks like it should be a matter of windows & microsoft should have action corrected problem because windows is caused this problem... Have installed all windows updates & all up to date... Can someone try to give me a solution to fix this problem? Not sure if they have an upgrade or accelerator program 3d graphics that may have to be installed... & again thanks if anyone can help... Have a great day...

    ATI-RADEON XPRESS 200 SERIES is an accelerator of limited DirectX 9 graphics (integrated graphics), which was

    published in ' 07 and apparently is not compatible with Win7.

    Old hardware with a Windows version compatibility isn't something that never gets fixed by SM.

    It is the mfg of the material to support the product through a driver updated, and trend of integrated graphic card

    not be supported as long as a dedicated graphics card.

    In this case support drivers apparently stopped with Vista.

    If you try to get drivers via Device Manager or Windows Update they can provide incorrect information

    What about drivers who are up to date.

    These two methods are a little known does not install the proper drivers for the graphics.

    I read that some people have had luck on Win7 with the Vista drivers for various materials. Doesn't hurt to try.
