Cannot install PIA on Windows 8.1 64-bit with Office 2013 64-bit

I am building a clean machine after a hard drive failure.  Everything is finally reinstalled WITH THE EXCEPTION of the Office Interop for Office 2010.  I have a clean install of Windows 8.1 which also has Office 2013 installed.
The documentation for the 2010 library is that it only requires the framework 2.0 present (which is) so it should install.  However when I run the installation program is throws up the window "determining requirements" runs for a few seconds
then disappears.  
All I need is to get these things showing up in the GAC so I can get a clean build.  But try as I might I don't have them showing up at all.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
ADDITIONAL INFO:
  When I run the MSI file it brings up the window that says it is gathering information.
   This run for about 1 second (if that) moves the progress bar about halfway across, then stops and closes down the installation.
  We also installed Office 2010 and reran the PIA with the same results.  *sigh*

Why do you need to install Office 2010 PIAs? 
Consider embedding interop types into the assembly without using PIAs on the end user PCs.
Beginning with the .NET Framework 4, the common language runtime supports embedding type information for COM types directly into managed assemblies, instead of requiring the managed assemblies to obtain type information for COM types from interop assemblies.
Because the embedded type information includes only the types and members that are actually used by a managed assembly, two managed assemblies might have very different views of the same COM type. Each managed assembly has a different Type object
to represent its view of the COM type. The common language runtime supports type equivalence between these different views for interfaces, structures, enumerations, and delegates. See Type
Equivalence and Embedded Interop Types for more information. 
You just need  to set the Embed
Interop Types property to True.

  • Cannot install itunes on windows v8.1 64 bit

    Cannot install iTunes on Windows v8.1 64 bit.

    The old blue iTunes worked fine on my pc, then along came the new red iTunes, which initially refused to install from an auto-update notification, saying it didn't have permission to access one of its own folders (self access to all its other folders was ok).
    I then tried a manual download and install as suggested by the auto-update failure dialogue and that was exactly the same - failed at the last hurdle and had to reset itself.
    I then tried download and install from iTunes site and this installed without problem, but the application will not open, neither from the desktop icon with user or admin rights, nor from a direct open or run as admin from the iTunes folder .exe file.
    I have tried a repair install and an aggressive uninstall to ensure any TSR components are purged followed by a clean install - no difference.
    My other pc is no problem and iTunes installed and runs on there fine, so it must be a configuration problem on this pc only.
    I disabled my antivirus and malware detection during the install and made an exception for iTunes, to no effect.
    When selecting the app I get a blue circle for a few seconds then nothing, no dialogue or notification of problems.
    Any suggestions welcomed.

  • Cannot install iTunes in windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

    My system is: Custom built AMD Phenom Quad-core processor 2.50GHz 16.0gb memory 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate OS
    I have tried the newest version of iTunes and the one just prior, same problem with both. I have also tried all the detailed and sometimes complex uninstall, delete, repair and reinstall procedures listed in the forums here and on other sites, cleaning registry and cleaning cookies. Deleted all apple products with three different file cleaning programs. Deleted anything even remotely related to apple products and turning off any services related to apple. I have tried installing each file independantly in a variety of suggested order giving administrator privileges to all the files. I am the system administrator with full adnimistrator privileges.
    The installation response in every case is as follows;
    An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu
    this is shown with two options Retry which gives the same result instantly or cancel which rolls back the installation entirely.
    In one instance I was able to install the 64 bit version of a fresh installed OS on another hard drive on my system. But that system is for a test bed and I have no plans to use it on a regular basis.
    I have spent roughly 35 hours on this and finally had to install another program to deal with my music files but I still would like to solve this problem. This appears to be a common problem based on all the questions and complaints that I have read lately both here and elsewhere. I am not sure why apple has not adequately addressed this, at least in the newest version of iTunes

    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

  • Applet failed to open xls file with Firefox and Office 2010 installed (o.s: Windows 7). It works with Office 2007.

    I load a signed applet in a web application.
    The applet open a xls file when I press the finalize button.
    It works correctly in Firefox, IE, Chrome and Safari. I have installed Office 2007.
    But when I test it in a new pc with Office 2010 installed, it does not work in Firefox browser (it works in IE, Chrome and Safari)
    This is the console java error:

    I search in Bugzilla but not found anything about this.
    I test it with Firefox Beta - Aurora and the behaviour is the same.
    Is there any bug for Office 2010 in Mozilla Firefox?
    Any suggestion?

    Rectify the post:
    It works with Firefox 3.6, but it does not work with Firefox 7.
    Is there any bug in Firefox 7 with excel?

    Hello Scott,
    The Visual Studio 2012 SDK need Visual Studio 2012 but not Visual Studio 2013. Please make sure you will use Visual Studio 2012 on your OS.
    Here are the system requirement of that:
    Supported Operating System
                        Windows 7 Service Pack 1; Windows 8; Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1; Windows Server 2012                
    Windows 7 SP1 (x86 and x64)
    Windows 8 (x86 and x64)
    Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64)
    Windows Server 2012 (x64)
    Hardware Requirements:
    1.6 GHz or faster processor
    1 GB of RAM (1.5 GB if running on a virtual machine)
    300 MB of available hard disk space
    5400 RPM hard drive
    DirectX 9-capable video card running at 1024 x 768 or higher display resolution
    Prerequisites:
    Visual Studio Professional 2012 or higher
    Here higher means Visual Studio 2012 higher version, for example, Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate.
    If you want Visual Studio 2013 to work, I think you need to install the Visual Studio 2013 SDK.
    Best regards,
    Barry

  • I cannot install iTunes on Windows 7 I receive the Error 7 (Windows Error 193).

    I cannot install iTunes on Windows 7 I receive the Error 7 (Windows Error 193). 
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times but with no luck.  Does anyone have another option?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the above steps haven't helped try installing:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for a 32-bit core program, similar to previous 64-bit releases of iTunes.
    Or roll back to:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)
    as appropriate.

  • Cannot install iTunes on windows 7 64bit

    Okay, I like so many cannot install iTunes on Windows 7 64bit.
    Now Orginally I got a message saying something to the effect of:
    There was a problem with the install you do not have permission for something...
    Through some investigating my iTunes was being installed and removing all my permissions to view and/or modify files within that folder. Even if I was logged in as admin and installed as admin all the permissions would simply block me out.
    This kind of had a familar feeling as in the last few versions of iTunes I had to run as admin just to open it (this is really annoying by the way)
    So I searched the net and many people were saying to uninstall everything "Apple" and try again.  So I did that.  Now I have this new message:
    there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
    And again I scoured the internet for a way to fix this.  I apparently am supposed to goto Control Pannel/Programs and Features and select Apple Software Update and select repair.  The problem is that no longer exists in my programs list since I removed it in the earlier step. iTunes still refuses to install spitting out the same error forever. I tried the Microsoft "fix it" tool which is supposed to remove the Apple Software Update incomplete uninstall (which is apparently the whole problem) but it doesn't show up in the list for "fixing".
    I am at a loss.  Why doesn't Apple fix this.  I cannot update my iPhone to the latest software in fear I may need to restore it. With no iTunes that is impossible.  I cannot change any of my music or do anything until this is resolved.  If/when iPhone 5 comes out I cannot get it either unless this issue is taken care of somhow.
    I searched for an installer for just the Apple Software Update program But it seems to not exist as a standalone thing (it would be useful if it were though). If it were perhaps I could install it again and then successfully remove/repair it and iTunes might install finally.
    Now I have had previous versions of iTunes working perfectly fine.  I do not recall which version I was using before I tried to update and fell into this abyss however.

    Yes b noir. I've tried running just "iTunes64.msi" from the command-line and while it didn't produce the same error "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vender." it produced a different error in bold-type "iTunes Installer Completed" then "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured...Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified...Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit". However, I discovered a wealth of options from the Windows Installer to try after typing "iTunes64.msi passive"...So I'll experiment some more when I have time.
    P.S. I'm becoming more convinced that Apple is putting new software out there to get it debugged which was a trick that MicroSoft always seemed to do:-)

  • HT1461 I have installed the Windows 8 on my MacBook using BootCamp, but I cannot install drivers for Windows now

    I have installed the Windows 8 on my MacBook using BootCamp already, but I cannot install drivers for Windows now: I've got only BootCamp 3 disk and it doesn't goo even if I start it using compatibility options. And my BootCamp on Mac didn't offer me to burn cd with drivers for windows as I saw in many instructions. How can I resolve the problem? Thanks a lot.

    Go back to Boot Camp: on the 2nd page you get this:
    Download the support software and as Windows is already installed uncheck the 2nd box.

  • Visio 2007 launch problem with Office 2013 installed "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visio..."

    Running under WIN7-64 bit with Office 2013.  Requests reinstall every time it is run. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. No change. Office 2013 does not recognize that Visio 2007 is installed. Copy paste operations between Visio and Word 2013 don't
    work. Tried disabling sharepoint access for Visio 2007 and did a repair for Office 2013. No change.Tried various compatibility modes. No change. Ran Microsoft troubleshooter which verified there is a compatibility issue but provided no solution.
    Tried the following...
    Type the following command, and then press Enter:
    reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Visio\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1
    no change

    Hi,
    Based on the situation, I recommend you try to use locale administer account to login in the computer.
    Then we re-install Visio 2007, if you solve the issue,please let me know.

  • I cannot install itunes on windows 8.1

    I cannot install itunes on my Toshiba Laptop with windows 8.1. I kept getting error 7. So i removed all of the itunes files from my computer, and did everything the install troubleshooting page suggested, but it still will not install, but now instead of error 7, I am getting error 2.

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Cannot install Reader in Windows 7

    I have a Windows 7 ultimate OS. I cannot install Reader on it. I have Flash player on it. but some how the reader isn't getting installed.
    When i run the setup file of Reader, it starts its processing phase, as it should. But after the completion of it, it quits. Its like the actual installation doesn't get evoke the main setup file. The surprising factor here is that there is no notification about it. No error messages and no warnings. Its just stops its self after the processing phase gets over.
    Another surprising factor is that when i try to install the reader through the download manager of adobe, it downloads the application taking the correct time, and when the time comes for installation it completes it fast and shows me that it was successful with a green tick.
    please help me guys....

    Try to download this installer http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi, then run it as an Administrator user.
