DLL error on Windows 8.1 #8402

Closed sahil-lakhwani closed 7 years ago

sahil-lakhwani commented 8 years ago

Platform: Windows 8.1 (32-bit)

While trying to install nodjs using the MSI from the official site, I get an error that says 'a DLL required to run this package couldn't be run'

I tried running the MSI as admin.

@sahil-lakhwani thanks for reporting! Can you verify if this is a duplicate of https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3431 by deleting the temp folder as https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3431#issuecomment-149255984 suggests?

sahil-lakhwani commented 8 years ago

Yes, I tried installing after deleting the temp folder, but didn't succeed.

@sahil-lakhwani Can you create an installation log with

msiexec /i <filename>.msi /l*v InstallLog.txt

and share it here?

I think this issue has been open for a sufficiently long time.
