I get error 2503 and 2502 when I try to install or to update most of my programs

Update itunes, blackberrydesktop, lightroom etc problems.  facilities get all the way to the end and then fail.  I checked the permissions in the installation folder, it is set correctly. Windows and my antivirus are able to install updates. I downloaded revo uninstaller without problem, but I don't know how to use it to fix my problem.
(I tried to uninstall a non-essential program with revo but got the same mistakes of 2502-2503 and the program wouldn't uninstall).

The problem was not the date of the system, which was right.

The problem ended up being incorrect permissions in the windows installation folder.  C:\WINNT \Installer (I use windowXP)

I've had trouble finding this folder because it is a hidden, System folder a file hidden. When I searched files and folders with the name Installer, it never present nor does it not appear when I went in C:\WINNT.   Finally, I noticed in the control panel "folder preferences".  Which allowed me to show/hide hidden folders.

Once I found it it was simply right click on the folder, then Security tab and made sure Admin was all permissions which it does not.
I have no idea how the permissions have been changed after about 6 years of owning this computer!

Finally fixed!

    You ever need connect your device directly. Buy a card reader for
    the type of flash card your camera uses (they are cheap).
    Place the flash card and plug it into a USB port.

    Personally, I prefer to do it this way. It is easier and does not use
    the camera battery. I have both these card readers - one I keep on
    my desk, close my desktop computer and another that I keep in my
    Bag for laptop to use when traveling.

    I don't understand exactly how errors in the two newspapers are related, but my opinion is that, if I can solve my CheckSUR.log errors, CBS.log errors will disappear to, and then I might even be able to install SP1.

    Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

     

    1 person needs an answer

    For what is interesting, what I ended up doing to solve my problems was to re - install Vista with the 'upgrade' option, so I don't lose any of my files or desktop settings...

    After that, I had a few problems with my OS reinstalled with several (80 +) updates, SP1 and SP2 from catching up.  But overall these problems were minor compared to it, that I lived just to fix some missing files.
