DP8.07 installation fails on Windows 7

Post by jsg »

I keep getting an error message:
Error 0x80070643: Failed to install MSI package.

Anyone know a workaround?

I've tried disabling virus protection and running SFC and found some corrupted windows files that were repaired successfully, but still DP installation fails.

Thanks!

Sorry, I've installed DP a number of times since last spring and on Windows 7 32bit it has been a smooth install. I even put it on Windows 8 64bit for a spin and it was the same.

However, I have seen a problem once with this service (windows installer) not working. My solution was drastic, I reinstalled Windows (since I was already at the install phase anyways)

Try right-clicking the installer, and select run as administrator.
That helps for some, depending on user permissions, etc.

Hope you get it sorted...it installs fine here (win 7-8 x64).

The thread is fine here, imo. Totally related to usage.
