Keep getting "Fatal error during installation" messages on install of 7.0 SP1

Hi,
I keep getting the following error on installation (dialogue box) on Win2K
of WLS 7.0.1.0:
"Fatal error encountered during file installation. The installer will now
cleanup and exit! [file size error for E:\ ...]"
While this looks like an obvious file download error I have pulled down the
full download 3 times and the network download once and it keeps happening.
Note that when the installer first starts it says it's doing a checksum
check and this passes OK. The errors only occur during individual file
installation. What's more is that it occurs at different points in the
install process (any time between about 20% and 60% completed).
Weird. Note that I have previously had WLS installed on my system before.
Any ideas much appreciated.
regards

Hi Malcolm:
you were getting -- "[file size error for E:\ ...]"
the installation worked on the C: drive.
> Yes I have a number of partitions C: thru E: with D: being System part (C:

Since I cannot see your system and explore the used and free space, and I am not a
Windows 2000 file management expert, I can only speculate on the causes.
Maybe your E: drive is very fragmented and Windows cannot find enough clusters or chunks
to let this complete. The Win95 partition is a FAT16 format; the others are NTFS.
Perhaps there is more free space on C:, or Windows can better get what it needs when
allocated in smaller portions.
Where is the "platform701_win32.exe" file when you execute it?
I am wondering if it is stored on a FAT16 drive.
Are you using PartitionMagic? Can you give more space to E: or change cluster sizes?
I asked about the swapfile because I am thinking about areas that grow and shrink, and
could cause trouble at varying points as you described. So, there are TMP and TEMP ?
Later,
Wayne

TS5376 When I try to remove "Apple Mobile Device Support" I get a "Fatal error during installation" message. I have windows XP

The program will not start because MSVCR80.dll is missing. I am trying to unistall I tunes and then reinstall it because the latest upgrade did not work. I was able to remove "Itunes" and "apple Software update' but when I tried to remove "Apple mobile device support" I get a "fatal error during installation" message.

First try a repair install of Apple Mobile Device Support. If that goes through successfully, restart the PC and see if you can now uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support.
If the Repair install doesn't help, try using the fixit from the following Microsoft document to remove Apple Mobile Device Support:

PhotoSmart C6280 - Fatal Error During Installation

I have Win 7 (64 bit) system and cannot install software for my C6280 All-In-One Printer. I keep getting a "Fatal Error During Installation" message and then the software tries to uninstall. During this process a reboot is required and then the software tries to install again and then fails. I'm in a never ending circle of install-uninstall-install-uninstall........
How do I get out of this? I want to completely uninstall all software associated with this printer and then start from the beginning.
The issue that brought about this situation was that I was getting the following message at bootup time:
"There was a problem starting C:\users\Myron\AppData\Local\IsolatedStorage\HP\zelqof.dll
The specified module could not be found."
I am assuming that the missing module would get installed if I re-install all of the associated software with the printer as this is the ONLY printer connected (USB) to this PC.
This question was solved.

Hello BigDog5280,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with a looping uninstall/reinstall of the software and drivers.
If you have Norton 360 installed, please disable it and reboot the computer. When the computer is back on, attempt to reinstall with Norton 360 still disabled.
Here is a link to a document that deals with a Fatal Error 'Error 1603. A fatal error occurred during installation' (MSI Error 1603) Displays Durin...

Fatal error during installation

I have been attempting to update my version of Boot Camp from 2.1 to 2.2. I have tried on numerous occasions with Apple Software Update but it never installs when the computer restarts. I have Vista 32bit installed on the partition. I tried to update with my Snow Leopard disk to 3.0 but it says the installer encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured. It also does this with my Leopard disk. As a last resort I tried to repair the Boot Camp Services from the Windows Vista control panel and I get Fatal Error During Installation. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi,
Since you only give one of error log and the Error 0x80070643 code is a common error, we need more information to diagnose the problem. Before you collect the logs, you should follow up these steps to install Visual Studio:
1. Re-download the Visual studio from Microsoft official site here:
http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs
After download you should use File Checksum Integrity Verifier tool to verify the integrity of your download. If the values don't match, your download may be corrupted and you should download the file again:
Refer to the below page to know checksum detailed number:
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2013-iso-sha1-vs.aspx#
Refer to
Download the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier to know how to check the checksum hash value.
2. Disable your Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware software and be sure that your OS has been "patched" up - Update your computer (Windows) before install the VS.
3. Clean your %temp% folder and run the installer with Administrator permission.
Look the links to get more information:

"problem with shortcut/fatal error during installation" on other user accts

I-tunes installed and works with no problem in original user, but when another user account attempts to open Itunes, program attempts to install/configure again, then results in a "problem with shortcut / fatal error during installation" message. Setting the other users to administrators doesn't help, nor does un-installing/re-installing, etc. I am at least the 4th person with this problem (see Burthomp earlier today,Jan. 17 and Richard 1018 on Dec. 29). This problem started with Itunes 7.5, and is still a problem on Itunes 7.6. I have a standard Dell setup, Model E510. There must be a lot of people with this problem. Apple, are you working on this? Anyone else have a suggestion?

I ran into the same problem, but I think I have the solution. First, the problem isn't with iTunes, its an access problem with Windows XP. I tried to run the iTunes program from the Program Files, and I received an "Access Denied" error.
If you try to open the Program Files in My Computer\Local Disk(C:) and receive an "Access Denied" Error, that is why you are receiving a "shortcut problem/Fatal Error during installation".
Here is how I corrected it:
1) Shut down the computer and restart it in "safe mode". I had to look up how to do this, but I pressed F8 when it was restarting and I highlighted the "safe mode" and started the machine. The icons will be large, but ignore it.
2) Open a user that has administrative access -- I used the one user that has access to itunes.
3) Go to My Computer\Local Disk (C:) and right click on the "Program Files" folder. Select "properties" at the bottom.
4) Go to the Security Tab
5) At the top you should see one or two users that have access to the Programs File. One will be the user that itunes works on. Click Add, then click Advanced, then click Find Now.
6) At the bottom should appear a list of users. Select a user on which itunes doesn't work. Click Ok, then click OK again.
7) Give that user full access to the Program File by putting a check mark in the Full Access box.
8) Repeat for the remaining users.
9) Restart computer in normal mode.
10) Go into a user that had problems and click the itunes icon, and it should run.
It worked for me, I hope it works for you.

Adobe Illustrator CS3: Fatal error during installation

Hello,
I just bought the AI CS3. It installed OK on my friend's laptop (windows). However, when I clicked the big button in the installation:
"Install Adobe Illustrator CS3"
A window showed:
Initializing Adobe Illustrator...
Then I got a message:
"Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe customer Support for assistance. Fatal error during installation".
I've tried several times. My computer meets all the requirements (it's a really new and faster PC). And there's no old versions of AI on it yet.
Can anyone help? Thanks!!!

Do you have any other Adobe products on your computer? When I installed CS3 on my Mac, I kept getting failures. After contacting Adobe, they told me I had to delete ALL other Adobe products -- including Flash and Adobe Reader. Plus, I had to do searches and delete any support files associated with them. It took hours!

Fatal error during installation of Live Office XI 3.1

Hello everyone,
Im getting Fatal Error during the installation of BOBJ Live Office XI 3.1. The full description: "The installation ended prematurely because of an error." This error occurs immediately after popup with Installer Information.
Maybe it happens because of my system: Windows 7 64 bit, MS Office 2010.
Do you have any advice how can I install it?
Thank you and best regards,

Hi,
you should check the PAR but I'm pretty sure it doesn't run on Windows 7 nor on MS 2010.

Fatal error during installation - Error 1603 ONLY on XP

My Dears,
while installing any CS3 or CS4 Adobe product for my friend, at ~90% of installation error comes up:
"Adobe Photoshop CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation."
I am struggling to solve it for 3 days now, and of corse I have seen and tryied all things proposed in posts like this: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/373577 , but still nothing helps me.
Thats list of all things that I have tryied to do:
- CleanUp fix
- Uninstalling all Adobe before fix
- Turning Internet off fix
- Turning anti-vir things off fix
- Registery fix
- Starting from CLEAN new system fix
- Changing language from US to International fix
Still nothing. Probably thats the point of problem:
Current Situation:
Got ACER ASPIRE x3200 desktop width Windows Vista (preinstalled), did clean installation of Windows XP and dumped Vista
There is no official drivers for XP, but got cracked chipset driver and official nVidia 8200 driver for XP from Internet
Got all Service Packs
100% legal
If nothing is working, maybe thats becaouse of my PC?! Installed it on my laptop with Vista 32b - WORKS (it means that installation CD is not corruptet or something). But then I have tryied to install it on another laptop with XP PRO - fail as with my PC. It seems that Windows XP Pro is not good for CS3 or CS4, BUT it did months before in my old unbranded PC.
Help! I really want to install that stuff.
Best Regards,
Westmidlander

I was only speaking very generally... This is all common sense...
Adobe and other software makers are moving on from XP in their development. Thus XP becomes more and more troublesome to use as the likelihood of problems increases.
In the case of installation, a lot of very specific things are required of an installer so that it can work on Windows 7. The User Account Control (UAC) system and other security measures such as file permissions have to be completely and properly satisfied to install software on the newer systems. Indeed, the application itself even has to work differently to be compliant - reference the recent 12.0.2 issues with loading scanner drivers for example, or the fact that Photoshop needs to put some things under C:\Users\... now that always used to be put under C:\Program Files\Adobe\...
It's not hard to imagine that Adobe isn't testing software as thoroughly on XP as they once did either. Perhaps they missed one of the quirks of XP in pursuit of getting it to install properly on Windows 7.
You're putting a new cutting edge software application on an operating system designed nearly 10 years ago (an epoch in high tech). That you don't see even more problems is a testament to Adobe's committment to support XP.

VS 2015 - Fatal error during installation - Cannot read key

I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2015 Preview from the ISO image. I get this error
Visual Studio Core Features
Fatal error during installation
Here are the relevant parts of the log file
http://privatepaste.com/d2f0080766
Trying to fix the permissions to the mentioned key (which I have done maybe ten times by now) only gives me a new error with a new key. Is there a better solution?
Windows 8.1

I downloaded the
Visual Studio 2015 Preview ISO Image in English onto Windows 7 PC. I didn't have an optical disk large enough to copy it to in order to install VS 2015 preview using ISO from optical disk drive.
So I used 7Zip to extract the files from the ISO into a folder on my desktop and then install it. There was no key needed as this is a preview version. So I was never asked about any key. Although it must've had a key that came with it because
after it installed I went to Help, Register Product and was advised after a bit that it updated with a key I suppose, even though it was already working, and the product was good for so many days.
Microsoft recommends the following for extracting files from an ISO in order to install the software without using an optical disk. I used 7Zip which is not recommended by MS.
The following tools offer .ISO file support:
IsoBuster
CDmage
Daemon Tools
Winrar
Also note: "Visual Studio 2015 Preview cannot be installed on a computer that has a previous version of Visual Studio "14" CTP installed. To install this release version, you must first
uninstall any currently installed CTP."
And I had installed .Net Framework 4.6 preview prior to installing VS 2015 preview.
