WINDOWS INSTALL ERROR

My computer is new, but its been having some problems lately. Its a Dell Intel Pentium Windows 7 computer. My problem is that when I tried to download microsoft office xp, it doesn't work and now I have this installer of windows coming bar whenever I open a new program or even my computer during its startup routine. More funny thing is is that the Windows Installer bar behaves like a virus and will not disappear on the first click, but rather as the 7 or 8, click on the Cancel button. This problem has prevented me from doing my job now, and I don't know what else to do about it. Also I tried to come back and restore the computer to a point before I had these problems, but the installer of sort of hangs the computer to restore it. Also I tried fix/uninstall the microsoft office xp program, but that no longer works. Help, please.

  • Windows Update / Windows Install Error code 80070641 and 641

    I use a Windows vista Home Premium SP2 OS and having this problem for a few months now... and the difficulty (which continues to work for me) came from Support by Email from Microsoft.

    I just had the problem (11 Windows updates wouldn't install) still ONCE and this fix worked... again... Although I still don't understand what changes the Windows Installer-related registry entries.  If someone knows a logfile to inspect to find what causes the registry changes, please let me know!

    I'm below insert a link to the thread where I posted the fix Microsoft Email Support gave me.

    In addition, I am trying to determine what is the cause.  I wonder if Iolo - System Mechanic Professional could be the culprit.  If someone is facing this problem... and running System Mechanic Professional Iolo... Please you sound!

    In addition, you may have to restart after you import the "Installer.reg" file in your registry... at least I had the last time I had this problem.

    Best wishes

    You need to do one more reg fix to restore the association Reg in Regedit.

    (This too was zapped by System Mechanic).

  • Windows install-"error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name"; After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, cannot load new software. ____

    After an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, everything on the system seemed to work properly. up to what I tried to re - install everything deleted software or install new software.  As soon as Windows Installer starts the following error message appears: "error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name.

    If this could have something to do with the new pads MSFT security permissions on folders (with padlock) during a upgrade as well as related hidden junctions by compared to the user by the system?

    I tried to install the update system of Lenovo and MSFT Windows Installer Clean Up clean in the hope that the software would help alleviate my problems. See below the link on advice from MSFT on the same error.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/%2Fkb%2F328162

    Unfortunately, I cannot even load the previously recommended THAT MSFT software to solve this error.  I also tried to install the software as 'Run as Administrator' and in 'Safe Mode '.  Even if I could not load the software recommended to MSFT, I was able to install iTunes to Apple through Apple Software Update, I guess, that they do not use Windows Installer.

    With the new structure of junction there is several files or links to the same folder across file system, if it is a folder authorization number which specific files/links are I need to remove restrictions?

    Any help would be appreciated, if not I'll have to do a clean install and individually reinstall each piece of software... Thank you.

    I think I found the solution for this point, because I have just encountered the same problem in our environment and here's what I did to solve it:

    -Create a higher level permissions at the root of the folder redirection (for example \\servername\mydocredirfolder): grant the Group authenticated users the following permissions and apply it to "this folder only" ALLOW: list folders/read data, reading, reading attributes, read extended attributes, create files / add data

    I think the MSI is trying to read the free space on the disk on the server, but it cannot because it tries to access the folder where your my documents redirection is sitting.

    Good luck!

  • Windows Install Error - iCloud for Windows

    Separated from this thread.

    I am also having this problem, but it's for the iCloud on iTunes. I get a message saying there is a problem with this Windows package install, a program administered as part of the implementation was not completed as planned Contact your provider of personal support or package. I don't want to have to re install iTunes I might lose all the photos and music I have there. Apple tried to help, but apparently there are a lot of people having this problem and I was told that I have to contact Microsoft because it's the problem. busy bowlers.

    I shared your question on the thread where you posted because that wire was quite old and linked to problems with a different application.

    Apple's ITunes is a completely separate of the iCloud Apple for Windows program.  Uninstalling iTunes more than likely will have no impact on your current problem, but you should know that uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes NOT you will lose your music or photos.

    According to this thread in the Apple support forums, the problem seems to be Apple rather than Microsoft, but it is very common for companies to point the finger toward the other in similar situations.  See https://discussions.apple.com/message/26647924#26647924

    I suggest that you try the steps proposed by "droyls" in the above linked thread I have copied below:

    Thanks jab336 - I had the same issue but was able to follow your steps on Windows 7 (32 bit) and now have iCloud 4.0 installed outside to not have to do a reboot of the system.

    Measures have been:

    1. login to iCloud.

    2 uninstall iCloud - done that using CCleaner

    3. removal of content from C:/Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Internet Services outside of 2 dll Shellxxxx who says were used.

    4 Ran Apple Software Update - found iCloud 4.0

    5 installed iCloud 4.0 successfully - reboot required.

    A major problem with the suggestion of "jab336" above in this thread, it's that I don't know where you can find iCloud 3.1 if you don't already have the installer for it on your computer.  "droyls" seems to have managed to install iCloud 4.0 without installing the older version first.

    CCleaner, you can find here--> http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner it is safe to download them and use them, but please do not use the function "registry cleaner".  As with any downloaded program, be sure to read the fine print during installation and uncheck all the options to install toolbars or search engines or similar (you may need to select "Custom Installation" rather than "typical" to see these options).

    Finally, it should be noted that, according to Apple, iCloud Drive will not work unless you have upgraded your iPhone/iPod iOS 8, although most other iCloud features work at least with iOS 7.

  • Update for Windows 7 for systems x 64 (KB2388210) will not install, error code 800 b 0100

    I am installing this update and it fails permanently despite trying to update the system tool that does nothing and trying solutions such as posted here,http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/1c2ce115-b8a4-489c-87ca-e544907d49e6. Current anti virus I use is Kaspersky, no third party firewall and I have Spybot S & D, but the problem occurred before installation of Spybot. Any help is appreciated :D

    See...

    Windows Update error 800b0100
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Windows-Update-error-800B0100

    Tip: Disable the Tea Timer of Spybot and leave it off until you got the update installed (assuming you still want to install it). See http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=32409

    NB: If you don't fully understand what Tea Timer does and how it does, leave it off in a way permanent.

    Tip: See if temporarily disabling all protection of KAV in real-time allows the update to install. Contact Kaspersky support or post to aKaspersky Forum appropriate assistance.
