  • I get error 2503 and 2502 when I try to install or to update most of my programs

    Update itunes, blackberrydesktop, lightroom etc problems.  facilities get all the way to the end and then fail.  I checked the permissions in the installation folder, it is set correctly. Windows and my antivirus are able to install updates. I downloaded revo uninstaller without problem, but I don't know how to use it to fix my problem.
    (I tried to uninstall a non-essential program with revo but got the same mistakes of 2502-2503 and the program wouldn't uninstall).

    The problem was not the date of the system, which was right.

    The problem ended up being incorrect permissions in the windows installation folder.  C:\WINNT \Installer (I use windowXP)

    I've had trouble finding this folder because it is a hidden, System folder a file hidden. When I searched files and folders with the name Installer, it never present nor does it not appear when I went in C:\WINNT.   Finally, I noticed in the control panel "folder preferences".  Which allowed me to show/hide hidden folders.

    Once I found it it was simply right click on the folder, then Security tab and made sure Admin was all permissions which it does not.
    I have no idea how the permissions have been changed after about 6 years of owning this computer!

    Finally fixed!

    Have you tried to check the permissions in the folder install? To do this try the following below:

    In Vista, click Spie> Search> Type > c:/windows/installer> then right click on c:/windows/installer at the top under programs and click Properties> click the Security tab > check if system and administrator account has full access permissions > there that the Everyone account should have read and execute permissions, view the contents of the folder and reading.

    I would be very gratful if someone could help me... once again please! Yesterday, after the acquisition of the programe of thugs 'CYBERSECURITY' I came here asking if someone could help me to get rid of it, thanks to those who responded, unbelivably, I managed to get rid of it myself with system restore in safe mode (it may work for other people, I answered some telling them to try this) that I never thought would work , but, touch wood, looks ok now Ive cleaned it. I just have a problem now try to uninstall the programs that I got rid of the day, I acquired of cybersecurity. I guess it's because the restore point, I gave him too much. I want to get rid of these again, but every time I try to unistal them, he said: (Ghost Installer) "Not found Setup log" happens then "this program might not be properly uninstalled" it gives the choice 'Uninstall using recommended settings' or 'this program uninstalled corectly' when I click to uninstall using recommended, then goes back to "instalation log not found" again. I don't know that there is a very simple answer to that, unfortunately, I don't know much, just a little more before the program of thugs! would be very gratful for help.
