Also I've just found this, its a recent blog by someone explaining the exact same problem, paragraph 3 talks about the temp folder.
How to fix Error 1723 in Windows | Sabernova
Now this rings a bell to me. When I had the problem, everytime time i tried to install acrobat the error report said something about a temp file (see my image in first post of this thread). When this happened i actually looked inside the temp folder and noticed the file name noted in the error gets created. Each consecutive time I would try to install, the error message would display the same error but with a different file name e.g MSI17899.tmp (like in my image). Sorry I hope I'm explaining this ok
In the blog he writes about permissions to the temp folder, could this be it? I used the universal theme patcher and start orb changer which can mess with permissions, however I too have it on my laptop with no problems.
Anyways, for now it is working again, I guess I'll have to wait for it reappear and monitor exactly what i do for a while, hopefully if we get to bottom of it, it will be useful for anyone else who runs into the problem :)
Okay thanks, i think i will leave it a few days maybe without touching cclean, to see if its anything else.Test whatever you want. You learn a lot of it. What I would do:
Test if everything is working fine now. Especially MSI problems
Make a backup
run ccleaner
Check msi problems again
If msi problems again:
uninstall dot net 4
reboot
try to install msi again

permissions on %temp% can be the problem. Check the permissions now please. System, Administrators and YOURSELF have full access? Press "advanced" ... all permissions are inherited from C:\users\yourself ?
Okay I will have to check in about an hour though, as I am doing back up now. thanks!
Ok so i checked the permissions and looks like I have full control (image), however, I'm currently not getting the 1723 error anymore since i did the repair install a second time.
I think i better get to bed now anyhow as its late here in uk, but Ill keep and eye on things and be sure to report back if the problem reappears, as I imagine it will do, then I will check the permissions again. Thanks for all your help though :)
Ok bingo, I've managed to recreate the problem and then fix it by changing the temp folder permissions (I attached an image showing how my permissions look when the problem is present, when my permissions are like this I will not be able to install msi's and will get 1723 error. Upon changing them back to full control everything works fine and msi's work.
Ok I am pretty sure the cause is adobe acrobat pro, which is slightly odd, I don't think its a coincidence because I tested my theory about 4 times to recreate the problem. To test it I did the following:
- Open a file using acrobat pro
- Then try to run any msi file, the msi would actually work maybe the first time with no error, then i canceled the instillation and try again and I will get error 1723 or any of the other similar errors pictured in my first post.
- At this point I checked my temp folder permissions and they are all changed (like in the picture attached here)
- After changing them back, all msi's work again, then I can recreate the problem again and fix by going through the same process.
If I'm correct, I am clueless as to why acrobat is causing the folder permissions to change? is this something to worry about?
Thanks
Delete all permissions on temp folder. Place check mark at "include inheritable permissions from this object's parent". Did you do that?
check the permissions on temp folder just before and just after using acrobat pro. That proves acrobat pro does create the problem. Please test it
All other files are still in TEMP?
Did you want me to delete the permissions my self?
Okay i think i understand what you want, I took more screen shots to show anyway,
1. I checked "include inheritable permissions from this object's parent" (image 1), after applying the permissions it looked like image 2
2. I then opened acrobat, rechecked the permissions and they looked like image 3
This definitely proves it, any ideas what it could be?
