Hello

·        This occurs only when you click on internet explore or with all applications?

·        Remember to make changes to the system?

·        What version of internet explore is installed on the system?

I suggest you follow the methods mentioned below.

 

Method 1:

I suggest you unregister and re-register the Windows Installer on the system.

a. sign in to your computer as an administrator.

b. Click Start and then click Run.

(c) in the Open box, type cmd and then click OK.

d. at the command prompt, type msiexec.exe / unregister and then press ENTER.

e. type msiexec/regserver, and then press ENTER.

Now, check if the problem is resolved.

Method 2:

Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following link.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/322756

 

I suggest you repair Windows Installer

a. Click Start, go to run, type "Regedit" and press ENTER.

b. in the registry editor, navigate to the following registry folder:

'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer' by clicking on the sign MORE (+) sign.

c. highlight the "MSIServer" folder in the left pane and double-click "ImagePath" on the item in the right pane.

d. its value should be 'C:\Windows\System32\msiexec.exe V' (without the quotes). If this is not the case, change the above value.

Note: There is a space between msiexec.exe and c I assume that Windows is installed on drive C.

e. restart your computer.

Thanks and regards.

  • Preparation for installation at each connection, but what?

    Windows XP Pro with SP3, stable for years.

    But now since one some time to Setup tries to install 'something' after the connection very. The "preparation for installation" prompt appears, unfortunately, never says what it is trying to install, as I know that it takes 30 sec suspended in this popup, appearing 3 - 4 times in a row each whenever I have connection. And no 'usual remedy' has contributed to this day:

    (1) check for product Red
    (2) regedit, search for the names of products already installed.
    (3) analysis of the registry: all deleted using WiseRegistryCheck and CCleaners as well.
    (4) windows install cleanup tool v3.00.00.0000: I don't see all of the unknown elements...
    (5) manual cleaning of all TEMP directories and all these.
    (6) the manual analysis of services for unknown names
    (7) viruas scan and adware

    Could someone help me identify the culprit?
    Under settings, I still find a plethora of log files in the directory temp, like this:

    However, this seems to be a check once a week for updates for several products supplied with my Dell. So I'm still confused why this is happening now and how to turn it off.

    Thomas,
    Looks like you did a lot to try to find the culprit.  One thing that I do not see you mention performs a clean boot.  If you haven't tried that I implement that and then restart and see if Setup returns to the top.

    Follow the steps in this article to resolve problems with a clean boot.

    Advanced problem resolution by clean restart.

    Let me know if this helps.  Also have you looked in the Application section in the event viewer and saw all errors related to this?

  • Windows Live Safety Scanner for Windows 7 using MS Internet Explorer 9

    Hi, I recently moved from my trusty XP to a new with Windows 7. I used to regularly use the Windows Live OneCare safety scanner - usually just clean - especially to clean the registry. I used to find after receiving updates Microsoft, the registry needs to be cleaned. I would like to do similar now. The first time I tried it, it worked well and took me to the site for Vista & Win 7 whereonly a complete analysis is available. I went with this and ensure that enough werer there are 100 registry errors to be fixed. Since then, I've been unable to use it. A message appears on the bottom of my screen saying. When I click on the button to install the scanner, wait please sign lights up a message appears saying "Internet Explorer blocked a control Active X, so this page will not display correctly." Then blue, he says "what is the risk. There is not the possibility to allow the Active X control. We once I went into Windows and the security option and clicked on each ActiveX little to ask. At that time, he was installing the scanner. However, when I clicked on that he returned to tell the scanner to install. It seemed to go into a loop.  Can someone help me on how to solve this problem?

    Hi, I thought to http://onecare.live.com/site/en-gb/default.htm?keyword=scannerhome

    In fact I got it to work this morning. It reported record 119 errors and corrects all but 15. What I had to do, was to go to Internet Options, Security, which, down to amd 0 also unchecked ProtectedZone. The scanner then ran successfully.

    Thanks for your help. Resolved question.

  • Every time I open a file in Media Player 11, I get a dialog box telling me that Windows Installer is "preparation for installation.

    Whenever I open a file in Microsoft Media Player 11, (11.0.5721.5280) I get a dialog box telling me that Windows Installer is "preparation for installation.

    He tell me what it is trying to install and crashes

    I uninstalled WMP11 and reinstalled

    I ran "Fix IT" page Support MS

    I run MS Security Essentials... It is to this day and I run a full scan

    I think you meant:

    "a. initially, box run, type"msiexec /unreg", and then press ENTER."

    I did and it helped somewhat. Message anyway, but he went and the media played.

    If I did:

    "(b) then type" msiexec/regserver"and press ENTER."

    The problem comes back

    I went a step further and ran a restoration of the system to the day, I installed Office - it worked.
