Impossible to use the MSI installer in Win7

I tried to install AVG Antivirus, but it will not be installed. The AVG technical support

has made all sorts of audit and said that he cannot help because the Windows Installer service is "damaged or defective.

Here's a screenshot of the error MSI:

Much to my surprise, AVG has said that Microsoft will help me with this problem. Is this true? I hope so!

Thank you

Hi again Andre,

After posting here, I did some research, hoping to find a way to fix

the installer of Windows 7. Apparently I'm far from the first person with this problem!

I also see that you others gave the same advice that you gave me
(http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/windows-7-installer-50-when-will-it-be-ready-to/e696e036-dd43-4f8b-8b0e-5f34123f27d2?auth=1) but it did not help them any more than it has helped me (and answered quite nasty too).

a person named Helen Zhou said:
Windows Installer 5.0 was released with Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7. 5 Windows Setup program is not available in standalone version and you can download the Windows 7 SDK Web installation program or file ISO of Windows 7 SDK. The advantage of the web installer is that you can choose to install any subset of the SDK. It should, however, connect you to the internet

This answer seems to be the only one who never really resolved to someone

installation problem. As has been published in this thread:

Thanks to this comment and the link given by Helen Zhou (see below), my computer has been fixed.

Windows 8.1 - windows install 5.0 broke and arrested installation programs packed for her. The only solution was similar to a relocation. Running SDK Web fixed (loading install 4.5?) and I am very grateful!

Do you have comments on this proposal for a solution? What risks it implies?

Thank you!

    o The System Restore tool

    If the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose another restore point and then click Next.

    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    4. click on finish.

    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, to do this, follow the steps below,

    Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

    If this solves the problem, you can deduct that the demand is probably corrupted, damaged or incompatible. You can check with the manufacturer of the program for more information.

  • How to change the setting of compatibility of the MSI installer?

    I am trying to install an MSI file for an application called "Encryption Plus" from the edge of the Guardian.

    When I click with the right button on the MSI file and choose compatibility, I'm presented with the checkbox to select "run this program in compatibility mode for:"

    But the drop down menu contains NO items. It is an empty list. When I click on it, it does not show Windows Vista, Windows XP SP3, etc., etc., as it should.

    If I try to do it on any other exe installation, it well. This happens only with the .msi installation files.

    Have you tried to install the file without changing the compatibility first?  If this isn't the case, you may be able to install and then change real compatibility on the exe file of the application (and Windows 7 can do for you automatically if it detects problems with the application).

    Hope this helps and have a nice day :)

They don't seem to have an answer. On what I believe, this is a related issue, I can also access some Microsoft Web sites, especially some who deals with download. For example, if I go to download.microsoft.com I get the blank screen asking if I want to test the network connection. When I test the network connection, it says that it can't find something wrong with the network connection.

  • Legalize the illegal installation of Win7

    Some time ago I installed a copy of Windows 7 Premium torrented and activated using a kind of rootkit. However, the rootkit is wrong, and although it would be possible to repair it, I can't be arsed.

    Basically, I just want to buy a legal copy cq. product key for Windows 7 and use it to activate my current installation.

    However, the installed version is the ultimate and I never have, I want to just buy a copy of the Home Premium edition. A few mentions of document helps that I'll have to make one adjusted install "downgrade" my ultimate to Home Premium edition. However I can't find any other information. I seriously don't want to reinstall Windows at this point.

    I know that install Windows 7 on an existing installation will move the main directories in a directory 'Windows.old '. This means that it would be a completely clean install, as a matter of fact. These directories include the program files, users, and windows. Older versions of Windows used to have options 'replaces the current installation"but I don't see that here.

    I feel like a sell-out anyway because I am fundamentally opposed to online activation systems: p. because it's an addiction that requires internet access. A bit like the Logitech EU Smart Radio, which cannot play the music (on the network) If you have an internet connection active on the servers of Logitech. And some hardware device drivers (for gaming Razer products, for example) only loads the driver/config when the Setup program is able to connect to their "cloud". They thought it would be cool if the driver settings had been registered on the internet. Screw that, more horrible config program they ever designed.

    For Windows, the problem is less pronounced, but I do not like my system "phone home" after a few days/weeks/months check the «activation status» This implies a current dependence that one day may begin to bite me in the lacrosse. (You can even buy Windows 7 no more in the Microsoft store, nor are it possible to just buy a key and this forced obsolescence is not something that I'm willing to support, or in my own interest.)

    Providers can even dismantle these activation systems when they want more people to use (this version) software.

    So, I'm still not clear what I want to do, but I thought I'd ask anyway if it was possible to go down and then enter a new product key.

    Best regards, Bart

    Basically, I just want to buy a legal copy cq. product key for Windows 7 and use it to activate my current installation.

    Well, you can buy a package of retail or OEM System Builder License for the desired edition you want in order to get the product key. Product keys are not sold separately.

    However, the installed version is the ultimate and I never have, I want to just buy a copy of the Home Premium edition. A few mentions of document helps that I'll have to make one adjusted install "downgrade" my ultimate to Home Premium edition. However I can't find any other information. I seriously don't want to reinstall Windows at this point.

    Where can I still get Windows 7?

    Full version-

    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

    Version upgrade-

    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade

    Family Pack:

    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack (3 users)

    You can use the following method to downgrade the current edition installed all while preserving your personal files and applications:

    http://techingiteasy.WordPress.com/2012/05/12/how-to-downgrade-Windows-7-editions/

    I know that install Windows 7 on an existing installation will move the main directories in a directory 'Windows.old '. This means that it would be a completely clean install, as a matter of fact. These directories include the program files, users, and windows. Older versions of Windows used to have options 'replaces the current installation"but I don't see that here.

    Because you're downgraded to lower edition, he of course by default requires a custom installation that moves from the old installation to a folder named Windows.old. That's how it's done:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.
