Uninstall the question.

Dear all,

I have a msi installed on windows package 7.

When I try to uninstall this package using the command

msiexec /x NomPackage.msi

I get the following error

[Window title]
Windows install

[Main instruction]
This installation package could not be opened.  Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.

But when I uninstall through Add Remove programs in the Control Panel, it works very well.

I have to do through command to apply it through field to apply to hundreds of PCs.

Thank you and waiting for your response.

  • This installation package could not be opened. [SOLVED]

    I try to install Java 6 update 18 and get the error message:

    "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package. »

    I uninstalled Mcafee, spybot, and ad-aware.  I also disabled all the security of vista and UAC.  The only account on my computer's administrator.

    I followed some suggestions on this site and made a run and type msiexec / unregister, and then run and typing msiexec/regserver and I still get the same error.

    I also tried to run the program as administrator and with UAC turned back does not.  I tried to download Windows install 4.5 for x 86 but it tells me that this update is not compatible with my vista installation.  I am running vista Home premium 32-bit, so I don't know why I get this error.

    I also have service pack 2 installed.

    I'm completely lost on why this is happening.  This situation of not being able to install Java also applies to a few other programs as well, but not all of them.  I don't remember witch ones they are, but Java is my main concern at the moment and I feel that if this is fixed, other programs will install as well.

    I would apprectiate very any help on this.

    UPDATE: I also tried Run and type in services.msc and found windows install and changed manual automatic and started the service.
    It didn't work either. :-(

    -UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATED - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATED - UPDATE -.

    This problem is now solved!

    It seems that the "Run as Administrator" command gives you administrative privileges only, and they are not sufficient to install Java (and OpenOffice, by association) and other programs as well. To work around this problem, you must actually you as an administrator. Open a command prompt with admin rights by clicking Start, run, type cmd in the search/run box and pressing CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER. At the prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes

    Then disconnect from your regular account and record as an administrator, you should be able to install the program. When you are finished, open a session to your regular account and, for security reasons, disabling the account administrator for assistance:

    NET user administrator / active: No.

    Wallah, its done and everything works.

    Hi just an update on the fix.  I had added an executable (.exe) file that the file icon!  I didn't know that I caught by mistake project executable (which had the icon) instead of the actual icon file!  Once I corrected this problem, the installation worked fine.

    When you try to install iTunes v 10 to my new computer running Windows 7 Home premium with the latest updates, I get this message.

    Steps, I took so far

    • run as administrator
    • run in Windows XP compatibility mode
    • Disabled windows firewall (managed by Norton 360)

    I tried all combinations of the above steps but get the same message every time.

    I also cannot install a Java update that requires downloading the program.

    Any ideas?

    Hey,.

    I fixed the problem I had with this error msg. If someone else is having the same problems, I try to create a new user account and see if the download works on the new account because I tried EVERYTHING and nothing worked until I created a new account and now my problem is solved. I guess that somehow my user account has been corrupted, which I didn't expect not given my PC is only a month, but it was.

    Hope this helps :)

  • Error "Installation package could not be opened" when tried to install Age of Empires 3

    Original title: installation package could not be opened

    Due to problems with Age of Empires 1, 2 and 3, I recently uninstalled using Advanced Uninstaller. I then reinstalled AOE 1 and 2 but when I tried to install AOE 3 I got the message "the installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it. \Age of Empires III.msi"

    I assumed that the installation disc (which must be loaded when reading) was struck and he was polite. The warning message still appears. I'm afraid I might have deleted something that I should not have when you uninstall the game. Any suggestions?
