Windows 7 Setup fails with «the installation package cannot be opened...» »

We receive the error message "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. "the installation of accessdatabasedriver.exe (database driver Access 2010).

I tried to log in as a local administrator without success.

I ran the diagnostics for Windows install and it says that nothing is wrong.

I tried to disable the anti-virus software and scan for malicious software without success.

Any ideas?

The tracking information is stored in the temp folder:

Found the problem and the solution.

I found that all msi packages would fail.  I tried to install another package as a .exe and received the error message: "the folder path ' program files (x 86)" contains an invalid character.

This brings me to wonder about the long file name support.  After research, I found the registry key 'Win31FileSystem' has been set to 1.  This system was originally setup to be able to save files on a computer embedded Windows 3.1 (don't ask). It turns out that having this disables running or is not compatible with the appointment of "Program Files" (x 86)  Definition of this registry key to 0 and reboot solves the problem of msi.

Thank you

John
