Windows 7: Windows Mail

At what point do you get Error 0 running command do you get the error immediately you start the installer?

Since i updated the installer this am i have used it on three new builds and its run perfectly.

I googled Error 0 running command and many people get this error installing numberous other applications on the Ultimate versions of both Vista and 7.

Some people have a norton or a Comodo product installed on Ultimate versions, could this be a coincidence.

I haven't tried this on an Ultimate version and not likely too in the future as i use Home premium only on new builds.

Adding another 203 Registry entries to the Installer after the W/E that i have found on Vista related to Windows Mail.

To akwexavante re:The error occurs as soon as the setup button is pressed.

No I'm not running Norton or Comodo on this installation. It's a bare bones virgin installation using Windows Firewall. I tried the earlier version with the same result. Also tried turning off the firewall but made no difference.

Then its the Ultimate Version itself thats causing it and i have no idea why. Its working perfectly on Home Premium.

I'll explore this further after the weekend but i don't think i'm going to be able to do much about this one, but lets see what i can come up with. If its a simple fix i'll do it but if its going to take up too much of my time i won't.

To GregS re:Thanks Greg. No urgency about answering the questions I asked, but at your convenience.

Forgot to mention that with the revised method of importing WinMail using all your regedits, and removing WinMail attributes, it even works with Windows Mail Live installed; and over-rides it, offering to make WinMail default on first start up.

To akwexavante re:In order to test this I ran it on my copy of Vista Ultimate, but it wouldn't run and got the same error message at the same point of installation. Unlike the virgin copy of Windows 7, Vista already had WinMail imported, so maybe that blocked the program from running?

UAC is User Account Control and SRP is Software Restriction Policy. The latter being one of the best free security controls available and it's built into windows. I have mine set to turn off or on via a shortcut in the start menu which points to a batch file that is coded to either turn off or on. It's the same as going into local security policy but it's quicker with a shortcut especially if one installs and test alot of apps.

Moving on, I've extracted the installer and it appears to be using the Vista versions of WinMail so maybe akwexavante could get on board and modify his installer to use your method which in my opinion is better in the long run.

Cheers Mate,
It works wonders

Also that take ownership is fantastic.
Thanks a million

Modified Method to Enable Windows Mail in Windows 7

Please note: The credits for researching & developing the modifications in this guide go primarily to GregS; and to Ex_Brit for the regedit to disable the splash screen at startup.

Without forgetting the originator, Mr. Grim, without whom none of this would have been possible in the first place.

This method incorporates the various modifications discussed in this thread to simplify the process and remove conflicts.

Here's how!

See OPTION TWO in tutorial on first page.


Hope this helps. Cheers PB

Honestly, the real credit should be Mr GRiM for letting us know that something like this was even possible. Also to you for your continued testing on a Win 7 clean slate as a tester outter,lol

why do we need to do all that? All i did was copied and paste the vista mail into my 7 mail and works no problem! Wasy and no extra downloads and stuff.
