Windows Installer: anyway around it?
I've been going round and round trying to install "Cliplets-for-64bit-windows.msi"
I've been logged as Admin, ran different "Fix-its" found on MS support. Always ends in failure. I've started the service over and over, just won't complete.
1st box: Error writing to file: C\Program Files\Microsoft Research\Cliplets\Cliplets.exe config. Verify you have access to that directory.
2nd box: The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support for assistance.
Is the real problem the first box and not the Windows Installer Service? If so why wouldn't the Admin be able to write to anywhere?
When I search problem sometimes I get thousands of results that I don't seem to be able to sort by date. I follow different solutions only to find it doesn't apply to Win7Pro, or makes no difference.
Seems like it should be easier.
I'd like to create a log of my attempts but my mind is blank on just how to do that (if I ever knew, that is).
