Incompatible program, the .msi file is not running
I try to install a program on my new 64-bit Sony Vaio, by using the .msi file that I got with the program provider.
Error information: "the Installation ended prematurely because of an error".
The problem seems to occur only on my PC...

Hi Sten,
This error can usually be resolved by emptying the temp folder.
Method 1: Delete the contents of the Temp folder and check if that helps.
a: Click on Start > run
b: Type folder , and press ENTER.
c: Now remove everything inside this folder.
Method 2: Run the Fixit and check if it helps.

Good day!
Get back to us if you are having problems.
Hi Jessen,
I tried, but it did not help.
However, the solution that my local Consultant of the PC came with was 'no GUI', he turned off the GUI (for as far as I understand). In my view, that it changed the .msi file by adding this command.

the .ocx files are not registered?
My installer does not correctly load the .ocx files. Sometimes the .ocx files are not registered? I'm using Labview 8.2.1 and this problem usually happens with Vista Machines.How can correct this?
Your done installer places these OCX files in the system32 directory, or is it another Installer? If you do, you can then run an additional executable to the regsvr32. Please just make sure that the program is running under administrative privileges for Vista. See How to make my build LabVIEW Installer run an executable after Installation?

the .reg files do not load?
My power on my laptop and volume icons disappeared recently... again. I had saved the .reg files I used last time to solve this problem and went to the problem in the same way as I used to. Problem now is that the files do not work. When I tried to merge last time to solve the problem they open in a Word document. I can't work at all so I'm stuck with no volume or power icon and grayed out of boxes.
Is there a way to make the .reg files run again or am I just completely stuck now?
Hello
Are you logged on as ADMINISTRATOR?
There must be some sort of corruption if the reg files are not associated with anything and
When you right-click on them and select MERGE open them in Word.A registry fixing program will often cause such issues and they set very little.

Why my batch file does not run properly in Task Scheduler
My .bat files do not work with Task Scheduler.
For testing purposes, I created a very simple, one line .bat file:
ECHO this is a test. > TestFile.txt
If I run this file by double-clicking it, it works correctly and created a text with a single line of text document.
But if I create a task to run this file, the text file is NOT created. For the task history log, said that the task was started and completed successfully but no text file is created.
Any thoughts? Thank you.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I solved my problem.
It turns out that you can't use the full path to the .bat file in "Program/script" field of the Scheduler of tasks but rather than actual .bat file name, then the rest of the way in the field "start in".

How can I fix the .msi file extension?
Related to: Windows 8.1 how to define and restore file associations.
A year or two before, I tried to open an .msi file in the Windows Explorer (on object for reasons that I don't care). Although I can use 'Open with' dialog box to specify "Windows Installer" as a temporary workaround, I'm having difficulty to change to open with the default Windows installation program. Here is what does not work:
- In "default programs", Windows Installer is not listed.
- In "set associations", .msi is not listed.
- On the context menu of the .msi files, 'open with' is an option, not a submenu. However, in the 'Open with' dialog box "always use the selected program..." is gray.
With the situation that I am, I think I have to change the registry to fix this file association. I am very familiar with the registry editor and have no problem with a fix in such a manner.

And then, it will not re-intsaller driver. He invites me for a CD when I try to update the driver through the Device Manager, and when I try to run LifeCam 3.22, I've downloadedMicrosoft , he says "Setup cannot continue because the downloaded file was not signed digitally by Microsoft.

RE: iTunes and WMP - MusicBridge
Found this on the web. I can't vouch for it. Use it at your own risk.Excerpt:
iTunes is not compatible with Windows Media Player. iTunes is - like Apple-very protective of any product and does not like to share. So, you have to force off iTunes and WMP.To do this, you can use this sloppy program: MusicBridge.
The description of its creator:
MusicBridge allows people who use both iTunes and WMP on the same machine to keep their libraries in sync. MusicBridge offers a variety of synchronization options so that you can manage your collection of music in the media player, or both. MusicBridge duplicates of meta-data between Windows Media Player and iTunes, it does not copy the physical files between applications.Version 2.0.1 is a bug fixing release.
Best thing: it's free.

courtesy of musiclover101:
convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format that Windows Media Player can understandYou can convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format of Windows Media Player can understand - (I tend to use mp3). This can be done inside of iTunes itself. If the songs in your iTunes library were purchased in the iStore and were purchased in the plus version (indicated by a small sign above the price of a song +), then they are DRM free, so they can be converted easily. However, if the songs were not purchased in the format more, you can convert them for 30 cents each. I highly recommend that you do as the plus version of songs are premium quality - and since they are DRM free, you can use them in almost all applications and you can burn them to CD and play almost anywhere. All the songs on the iTunes store are now version more, so you don't have to worry about searching for them in the future.
To convert songs to Windows Media Player can understand, open iTunes, and then do the following:
1. click Edit, preferences, and go to the general tab
2. click on the button "import settings".
3. change the "import using" at "MP3 encoder".
4. click OK and go back to your music library
5. choose the list view and select the first piece of your library
6. scroll all the way to the last song in your library
7. press the button SHIFT key, then click the last song to select all the songs in your library
8. click on "Advanced" and then "Create MP3 Version."
9. your songs should start to convert and according to how many songs do you have in your library, this could take some time
10. open Windows Media Player and press F3 or click file, add it to the library
11. click on OK - Windows Media Player should start to search for songs on your computer and after that he finished the search, you should find the songs in your library in your Windows Media Player to iTunes library.NOTE: This method will not work unless you have purchased iTunes songs or if you have converted the songs iTunes more for each 30 c
