Installler error 2738 #76

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hello,

I downloaded the NiftySolution-1.3.7.msi installer and the installer produces 
an error message: 
"The installer has encountered an unexpected error instlaling this package. 
This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2739."

I also tried some older versions and with/without running Visual Studio 2010 
Premium. I have Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit Service Pack 1.

Thanks
Chris

I have exactly the same issue (2738 error during installation), while trying to 
install NiftySolution-1.3.7.msi over Windows 7 x64. Visual Studio version is 
2010 Ultimate.
Also tried 1.3.6 and 1.3.2 with the same result.

Is there any workaround? Is it possible to do a manual install?

If you are using 32-bit version of Windows:

Run Command Prompt as administrator:
Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories
Right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator
Type the following command in the prompt: reg delete "HKCU\SOFTWARE 
\Classes\CLSID\{B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}" /f, then hit Enter.
Next, you must also type the following command: c:\windows\system32\regsvr32 
vbscript.dll, then hit Enter.

If you are using 64-bit version of Windows:

I believe since this error, I disabled the visual basic scripting in the installer -- which was supposed to "fix" the reset of visual studio for toolbars. Ugh. It's all coming back to me.
