ColleenSchake,

Cancel the registration and re - register the Windows Installer and check if it helps.

  1. Click Start, run, type "MSIEXEC /Unregister." without the quotes and then click OK. Even if you do it right, it may seem that nothing happens, or you can briefly see an hourglass.
  2. Click Start, run, type "MSIEXEC/REGSERVER" without the quotes and then click OK. After you run this command, the operation is complete.
  3. Try to install the program and check if the problem persists.

Arthur Xie has a good suggestion of the error: fatal error during installation-1603 screw it to TechNet Windows 7 Pro forums.

    You can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and replace the file, but it may be easier for you to make boot CD of a Hren.

    When you start the Hiren's CD, choose the XP Mode of Mini and it has an interface in XP style Explorer where you can find and replace the winlogon.exe suspicious or missing file.

    There should be a copy of winlogon.exe here:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Rename your current c:\windows\system32\winlogon.exe file (if it exists) and copy / paste the replacement of c:\windows\system32\dllcache.  If you do not see here, search your HARD drive and find one.  Another possibility (depending on your environment) is c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386, or c:\i386 d:\i386...

    You just need to replace the file winlogon.exe somehow.

    When you are finished replacing, restart as usual (remove the CD bootable of course).

    With the help of Hiren, you can also copy offshore on an external device (USB key or HARD drive), all personal security files.

    Do you have a Hiren BootCD you can download here:

    http://www.hirensbootcd.NET/

    On the left, click on download, scroll down, choose the latest version, the download link is a little hard to see.  It is at the bottom of the page, above the drop for older versions and looks like this (click this component to download the ZIP file):

    Direct HTTP mirror + Torrent, Torrent Magnet

    Click the "Live HTTP Mirror" link to start the download and save the ZIP file on your desktop of somewhere that you can remember.

    The ZIP file is large, so the download will take probably some time to complete.  Then unzip the download to extract the Hirens.BootCD.ISO file that will be used to create your new bootable CD.

    Create a bootable CD. ISO file is not the same as simply copying the. File ISO onto a blank CD.  You must use software that includes how to burn a. ISO to a CD to create a bootable CD.

    File ZIP the Hiren is the file BurnToCD.cmd that you can double-click to launch it.  The BurnToCD.cmd will use the file BurnCDCC.exe to burn the. ISO file onto a blank CD using your existing CD burner.  You can also use your own burning software as long as your software is able to create a bootable CD. ISO file.  More modern burning programs can create a bootable CD. ISO image.  Create a CD from an ISO image bootable is not the same as just the file on a CD burning.

    If you need a simple and CD burning, this is a free software popular software:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your new bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.

    These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When starting on the Hiren's CD, you will see a menu of options.  Choose Mini XP.  It will appear while Windows is loading and you will be presented with a desktop computer that has the look and feel of the interface of Windows Explorer, you are already accustomed to using.

    Using the Mini XP, you can access Internet, maneuvering around your system, search for files, copy files, replace the files and run the scans for malware, edit the text files (like the c:\boot.ini) etc.

    There are dozens of free and useful tools included in the CD that can be used to repair your system or copy your important personal files on another device (like a USB device or an external drive) in the case where you just give up and decide to reinstall your XP (I hope that you will not make this decision).

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    Please see the details of the error message. I've attached a screenshot of the error message that I couldn't copy and paste to Notepad.

    (1) operating system: Win7 32 Bit - parameters of language & country: Turkey & TR I have also changed in English & EN then applied the steps of the proposed solution. But nothings changed.

    (2) I tried to install two USB Wifi & connected. But again the same error still exist.

    (3) after the fatal error, system installation restore leaves nothing in the programs. However, I used the "HP all-in - One Series Web Release Uninstaller" completely residues of installation of cleaning, then re - start and try to re - install, but still the same error appeared.

    In short, I did my best and all possible/proposed solutions in the forums, google search etc and I m hoping that experts from HP in this forum can my fix this annoying problem.

    Your help is appreciated in advance.

    Thank you

    Ahmet

    After experiencing this annoying problem finally I solved the problem.  The problem is related to Windowsfirewall.

    During installation even I have disabled the windows firewall that she always felt this fatal error. Therefore, instead of disabling the firewall, I simply added the setup.exe in the installation package using 'allow a program through windows firewall option. Then started the installation and the wolaaa. Installation went silently without any error

    I hope that this solution works for everyone suffers fatal error messages.

    Thank you
