Problems with Windows Installer - installer stops and shows the dialog on the command prompts

Hello

I hope someone can help me with this question... I looked long and seriously, and you have tried all of the suggestions posted (cancel/save, etc.).

I am trying to install a program and Windows Installer stops right in the middle of installation and a dialog box appears with information from command line, and the only thing I can do is select 'ok'... the program is not installed.

Here is the info that appears in the dialog box:

I hope someone has a suggestion for this problem... I just bought a new laptop and Windows 7 Professional came installed on it.

Thank you

Linney thanks for your response!

The file I'm trying to install is an exe file (so the SIG file is embedded in the exe file).

I tried the option "Run As Administrator" and it did not work.  However, you gave me an idea that has provided a work around that allowed me to install the program.

Once this dialog box is displayed with all the control switches, rather than press 'OK', I left on the screen and went in the 'temp' folder and find the MSI program I tried to install (I cross referenced the timestamp of when I tried to install it to find).

Once I found the updated file, I clicked it, and he proceeded to install the program... I have not had any other problems with the installation.

So, there's something wrong with the way that the exe file have been created and how the files extracted from the msi file (these are files of Intel and Lenovo - driver updates - so I think they do these things) or there is a problem with Windows Installer.

For now, at least, I have a work around I use until I find a solution to this problem of permanent

Thanks for your help and for taking the time to answer!

I hope this can help someone else in the future

  • Problem with Windows Installer (I think)

    Hey I just got a new 'game' PC with all the good things like i7 processor nvidia GTS 250 graphics card. So I guessed I would setup games. Games were installed very well the problems started when I tried to run SteamInstall.msi he looks ready to install for 1 second and then close and nothing happen. Even try to do once again nothing. So I gave up with it.

    Then I installed cod4, codwaw and download for both patches. When I try to install the patches it starts normal and after extractinng saying "" ".msi or msu or something it get stuck on the preparation for installation on both cod4, codwaw games and I think about others too... '".

    So I guess that's my Windows Installer problem... ? Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 (problems on SP1 also)

    Yoris,
    I think that if you had a problem with Windows Installer, then you would have also had a problem installing the games themselves.  If after installing just the game, you are able to start the game, then you will need to determine if you really need the patches you install.  If they fix game issues and do not add any content, then you may not even need of patches.  If it turns out that you do not have the patches and they are self extracting\installing files and then save them to your desktop and then right click and select run as administrator and see if that helps.  You can also check with Activision support , because this can be a problem they know.

    Try to compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).  There is likely an inconsistency between what is really there and what think the database is where and who must reconcile the two.  So beware of interference from antivirus software which can cause these issues (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).

  • Impossible to install a lot of programs in Windows 7, perhaps because of problem with Windows Installer

    This is a recent problem and I tried the reinstatement of Windows Installer, but it does not help.  I tried install update Windows Installer, but it wont install.

    Error messages include:
    Error 2203. Database: C:\Windows\Installer\607c93.ipi. Cannot open the database file. Error system - 2147287035.

    Or this:
    The Microsoft Windows Installer service is not accessible, or has failed.  This can occur if Windows Installer is not installed properly.  Try restarting your computer and login as administrator.  If the problem persists, visit the Microsoft Windows Support site and search for "Windows Installer problems.

    I tried to uninstall Windows Installer, but it is not like here. Then tried to reinstall Windows Installer, but it won't install no and no updates in the Knowledge Center applies to Windows 7.  In addition, there are only one account on my computer that has administrative privileges.

  • problem with windows 2003 vpn servers. and xp pro clients vpn using bridge nic

    I have installed 2 guests windows 2003 on 2 laptops. both are configured with 1 CC of backend and frontend 1 nat/vpn server that has 2 interfaces, a bridge and one configured for host only.

    I configure nat on both servers windows 2003 rras and vpn services and have them connected to my local network. they are able to access internet, ping between them and other computers on the network, as well as the host systems on which they run.

    the problem is that I am not able to connect to the vpn servers remotely from inside a guest virtual machine. I wanted to try a vpn site-to site between the guests 2 windows 2003, but the operation failed.

    I then tested customer to type of a guest virtual computer pro xp vpn server. It is also a failure.

    but I discovered that if I initiate a VPN from any one of the host computer system laptop or another computer on the physical network I am able to connect to the vpn servers I have set up.

    I wish I could have these laptops to operate normally and

    time to time be able to turn on virtual machines with vpn

    servers and test as dfs things and replication active directory as if

    they were running 2 separate real-world offices. the two laptops have invited Setup for 192.168.0.0 networks with subnet mask 255.255.255.192. each host that it supposed to be running a 1 subnet for the popular virtual machine with the servers vpn/nat connect together the 2 sites.

    laptop computers are running xp pro and vista ultimate as the host systems. I'm only using the windows firewall but also tested with them disabled vpn connections. also launches the service ipsec on laptops to secure internal lan traffic, I have also tested with two guests with disabled ipsec.

    is there something I'm missing here with the installation of the vmware bridge network?

    Oh I forgot to mention, I test using pptp and ms-chap v2

    I managed to do work by unchecking the tcp/ip settings and the microsoft file sharing on the bridged NIC resaeau.

    now it works very well but who explain to me why it cannot work when you are using the same network as the host card. they all have two different ip addresses and mac addresses. but something seems to be in conflict

  • Problem with Windows Mail invalid username and password.

    new issue - I had WM set up on this computer for a year without this problem. When checking my emails, a Windows Security popup stands up and asks me to sign in and enter my password. I do that, then I get this error message-

    Account: 'pop.charter.net', server: 'pop.charter.net', Protocol: POP3, server response: '-ERR user name or password.', Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 0x800CCC90, error number: 0x800CCC92

    and then the popup asks again and so on...

    I checked my mail account settings, even deleted and added this email account. Always the same.

    If I connect to the Charter.net and sign there, I get my messages - but can't always get through Windows Mail.

    Thanks for any help

    Janice

    These settings are correct in your configuration?

    incoming mail server name: pop.charter.net.
    outgoing mail server name: smtp.charter.net.

    You should probably not have a tick in the box "connect using password authentication (SPA) secure.

    Configure Outlook Express/3 rd Party E-mail
    http://www.Charter.com/customers/support.aspx?SupportArticleID=1661

    Take a look in the right pane of the Web Page related to the Support provided by your ISP options.  Sometimes they change the Ports for mail servers and that you may have missed notification.  In all cases the ISP is your best first step for help.

  • Problems with Windows Live Mail send and receive e-mails

    Hello

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and I used Windows Live Mail 2012 (WLM) for many years without any problems, and I prefer it much to Outlook.com. I have my own personal e-mail account and three other accounts available in WLM. I can send and receive emails from three other accounts, but my own account keeps giving the error message:

    Can't send or receive messages on behalf of Clive Read.
    Server error: 4402
    Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx '.
    Windows Live Mail error ID: 0x8DE00002

    That being said, I can actually send emails, but cannot receive them-weird!

    I spent several hours internet research solutions, including Microsoft pages, forums, etc and later of the end of "solutions" offered in 2013. Many of the suggestions I've tried, without success. I ran other controls have shown that initpki.dll is absent, but I don't know if it's possible causes and, if this is the case, my attempts to locate, re - save or download one have failed.

    My version of WLM doesn't have a "Tools" link, and I can't seem to find where the incoming and outgoing port settings. It gets really tedious, so I'd be grateful for all solutions to update to my problem and perhaps an explanation as to what may have caused it in the first place.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
