[Moved from comments]

Hi John,.

1. Since when are you facing the issue?

2. you have any security program installed on the computer?

3 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

Method 1:

I would say allowing you to run the FIXIT from the link provided and check if it helps.

Solve problems with programs that cannot be installed or uninstalled

http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall

Method 2:

I also suggest to try to run the System File Checker scan on the computer. The scan will replace all the Windows files corrupted with new ones.

Click on the link mentioned below for further guidance on the scanning of the file system Checker

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

Method 3:

I also suggest you to run a full scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check for infections.

http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

Note: there is a risk of data loss if all the files are infected and which can be removed in the cleaning process.

  • Code 80070241 in Windows update and "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file" when you try to run any program.

    Windows Update has appeared today when we started one of our machines, informing us that there are some installed updates. After reviewing the updates, we clicked on the "Install now" button, and immediately, it failed with the above error code.

    I tried to run regedit a reason unrelated, and it came with a dialog box error with "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. »

    After researching here and elsewhere on google and did not find anything suitable, put us in the Win7 disk, recovery tools and tried to go back to a previous system restore point (3 days).

    The restoration went well, restarted, but the problem persists.

    Then, we just tried to install anti-malware software, but when trying to run the installer, we get a different error message indicating 'ShellExecuteEx failed; Code 577 "and then the same message on the verification of the digital signature.

    The computer is running fine all yesterday and has worked very well since just after the new year when he has been upgraded to Windows 7. No material changes have been made, and no software changes were made by users in the course of last week.

    The computer is an AMD Athlon II X 4 with 4 GB of RAM on a motherboard Asus M4A78-EM, linking a 64 GB SSD, with a 250 GB drive SATA data/programs. GPU is a Nvidia 260, and it has a CD and DVD player as well. It is connected to our router using the gigabit ethernet interface motherboards.

    It was under windows 32 - bit XP SP3 up just after the new year. When we put in place the new SSD to replace a hard drive older than we have did a new install of XP (slipstreamed with SP3) and then used the upgrade 32-bit W7 Home premium DVD version to upgrade the system. Since then, the system runs flawlessley.

    On the machine is MS office XP, Firefox 3.6.3, AVG 8.5 and a few games such as the Turbine DDO.

    The main user account used to try to solve these problems and to run Windows Update and try installing programs is a member of the Administrators group.

    Firefox works fine, serve, and he plays the games installed very well also. AVG reports to date, with no problems and has detected no threat.

    However, try to view the registry with regedit, or start Viewer event or compmgmt.msc that all do appear the message "cannot verify the digital signature.

    ***************************************************

    Can anyone offer an opinion on what might be wrong with this facility please, and how we could do to solve?

    Cannot run chkdsk/scandisk as he bought the message "cannot verify the digital signature" etc etc.

    This morning, the machine began to behave differently - stop playing back badly, refused to start Device Manager, open Control Panel correctly etc.

    So, I reset the BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM, slapped XP SP3 in reinstalled, then upgraded to Win 7 again.

    Still have no idea what caused the problem, but it seems to be gone now - reinstalled the same applications, AV / programs anti-malware, games, etc and everything seems to go fine now.

  • Adobe Error 1303.  The installer has sufficient privileges to access this directory:

    Adobe Error 1303.  The installer has sufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Programs Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\ARM\1.0 when you try to update Adobe Reader 10.01 on a Windows 7, 64-bit machine.  What I found is that once I have let Adobe Updater download updates, the 1.0 folder is created under the ARM.  As long as I don't start the update, I can access this folder.  Once housing starts to update, if I try to access this folder I get an access denied message and the installation is defective with the 1303 error message.  I tried to make me the owner of the folder, try KB947821 running, turned off the firewall and close UAC, none of them running.  My guess is that there is a problem with the update itself changing the security.

    Someone has other ideas beyond to wait for the next update, that will hopefully work better than this one?

    Thank you!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Hello dutchb,

    The error, "another installation is in progress and must be completed first" can be attributed to the InProgress key found in the registry at:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

    I suggest that first make a backup of the registry or a system restore point. Then go to control panel, administrative tools, Services. Do scroll down and find the Windows Installer service, and set the start at the stop State. Delete the registry key to the location above.

    Now, you shouldn't get the installation in the progress message when you try to uninstall programs.

    I hope this helps.

    Sincerely,

  • Receive error message when you try to uninstall a program/game (Windows Vista)

    I have 2 games and a program I'm trying to uninstall it from my computer, but I get errors on each of them.  I have used Windows Vista to uninstall programs and features (Add/Remove).

    Here are the games/programs:

    1st:

    I want to delete the 2 games inorder to reinstall (I get error tring to open them too).

    The program of the print shop that I just deleted, I've never used and don't plan to use it.

    HOW?

    I saw that others suggest using a program called Revo Uninstaller Pro unstallation, http://www.revouninstaller.com/

    But I'm not sure this safe or will work.
