Fail to install nodejs on Windows 8.1 #7720

Closed ldlchina closed 1 year ago

ldlchina commented 10 years ago

I tried to install http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.28/x64/node-v0.10.28-x64.msi on Windows 8.1, but failed. Pop up a windows err msg box something likes "can't install, please contract the provider of the app". Anyone install nodejs on Windows 8.1 successfully? I did install it on Windows 7 successfully.

Does anyone meet this issue? How to resolve it?

Well, you'll have to give more details than just it failing.

I compile Node on 8.1, so I know at the least it will run. But never tried an install.

ldlchina commented 10 years ago

I installed Python3.4 and only VS2013, I guess that's the problem. I will try to install VS 2012.

Prerequisites (Windows only):

trevnorris commented 10 years ago

Python is probably the issue. I believe I'm compiling with 2013.

ldlchina commented 10 years ago

I installed Python 2.7.7 and VS 2012, but still can't install nodejs.

The error msg is "can't open the installer package, please contact the provider of the app, make sure it's a valid Windows Installer package".

How to you compile the node with VS 2013? thanks.

@ldlchina Can you try downloading and running the stand alone binary: http://nodejs.org/download/

It sounds like it's an installer issue and probably some incompatibility on Win 8.1.

mathiask88 commented 10 years ago

Hi, I installed node.js 0.10.28 without any problems on Win8.1 x64. Did you try to redownload the installer? Maybe the file was broken during download?

ldlchina commented 10 years ago

@mathiask88 I tried to redownload, but still failed to install. My OS is Win8.1 with Update x64. Thanks for the info.

As a Windows Installer expert, could we do a remote session so I can locate your problem?

anmoljagetia commented 10 years ago

I successfully installed it on Windows 8.1, the issue you are facing is I guess a corrupted binary, try redownloading it, or alternatively compiling it from source but that may have additional dependencies.
