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).

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!

Adobe Reader 'Adobe PDF Reader"Addon when not install using the MSI installer.
I'm trying to do a silent install Adobe Reader - and I noticed that when I use the installer EXE, with no manual configuration, I have the "Adobe PDF Reader" Addon in Internet Explorer (IE11).
When you install the MSI file - with or without transformation, I don't get the addon. I get a "PDF link Helper" but no PDF Reader addon. If anyone has experienced this?
Hi geoffubazi,
The "Adobe PDF Reader" Addon should install even if you run the .msi file.
Check under the add on-"run without authorization" option, as shown in the screenshot below and it will list the "Adobe PDF Reader" Add on

How can I disable online features that require a connection with the adobe id? I want to do this while I install the controller of domain Adobe Reader with the MSI installer.
Hi Matilda,.
I understand your concern, but Document Cloud is an essential part of the DC of Adobe Acrobat Reader and Adobe Acrobat DC so it cannot be disabled. If you don't want to use this feature then you don't need to connect.
If you really feel that it doesn't suites your requirement you can uninstall & re-install Adobe Reader 11 Adobe Acrobat Reader DC install for all versions.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Hello
I keep getting error messages when I use the computer. It started two days after you download an update from Windows. A sample of the error is:
C:\windows\system32\difxapi32.dll is not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the provider of software for support.
I use a vista. I don't know how to solve this problem, many want to help.
Thank you.
Hi Colinthebrave:
Start with this little tool to help get rid of the error, once your system is stable again and then try to run your updates again.
Thank you for your message; Let us know how it goes.

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.

Here's how to reinstall Vista as you no longer have a recovery partition.
This can help you (download files and make your own DVDs):
http://www.heidoc.NET/Joomla/technology-science/Microsoft/57-Windows-Vista-direct-download-links
And here are instructions on how to burn ISO disk images:
http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/isorecorder.html
The download links and information on how to make the ISO file, and then create the Setup DVD above are at this link:

"How to create a USB of Vista Installation key '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/181538-USB-bootable-Vista-installation-Flash-thumb-drive.html

You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do it for a small fee
HP:

___________________________________
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
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.

Thank you very much!
Hi deacon829,
You did changes to the computer before that happened?
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
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
Step 2: If you try to install any application before this program, try to uninstall them.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program
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.
Step 3: System Restore: System Restore to put the computer's system files to an earlier point in time.
Look for steps to restore of the system in the link below:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore
If the problem persists,
Step 4: A scanner online for any threat and try to correct

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 :)

Impossible to use the Launcher to WPI
Hello
I have problems that I can't install anything that uses the Launcher of WPI. If I try to start it, it says that the Web Platform Installer could not start and communicate with the WPI forum. 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.
Someone at - it something I could try? Thank you very much.

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

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.

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.
