Problems installing QT standalone (errors 1721/1603)

Yeah, the title pretty much sums it up. I try to install QT standalone 7.0.3.50 and as it nears the end of the install it gives me:
"Error 1721: 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."
followed by
"Error 1603: Fatal error during installation. Consult Windows Installer Help (msi.chm)or MSDN for more information."
I've tried just about everything. Does anyone have any suggestions? Alternatively, does anyone know where I could dl an earlier version of QT, pehaps QT 6, which I had installed (and working just fine) on my computer prior to foolishly pursuing an update.

Error 1721 is a generic Windows Installer problem.
There's two ways to fix this, one of which should work. First, try the steps listed here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;891985
If that doesn't help, use the program here to remove anything related to quicktime from the installer system: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=290301

  • Installing QuickTime Standalone error  aaargh!

    I just got a Ipod Nano, but I can't use it because I can't get ITunes to work. I've been reading up on this board for a couple of hours and trying the suggestions but I haven't gotten anything to work. Basically at the beginning I got teh -3 error alot of other posters have been getting. But after screwing around with my computer I might've accidentally made things worse.
    I think the base of the problem, like many other users, is getting quicktime to install properly. After I played around with the computer now I get two different messages that pop up during the installation process for the Quicktime standalone installation. The first is " Error 1402.Could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Quicktime. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact you support personnel."
    The second error message is "Error:-1603 Fatal Error during installation."
    I also tried using the windows install cleanup, but I cant because QuickTime isn't listed on the add/remove program list in the control program.
    I would really appreciate any help at all. Thank you.

    Try this and let us know
    Error 1406 or 1402 appears when you install iTunes or QuickTime for Windows

  • Problem installing WSDP - awk error

    The installation script for WSDP tries to verify if Solaris has all the proper patches installed. However awk fails because showrev -p for patch #108528-14 has too many columns!!
    How can I tell the setup program to ignore the patch verification?
    TIA
    JM Mussi

    I have been able to find a workaround for this problem, although the installation script does indeed have a problem.
    If anyone has this problem, what I had to do was:
    a) rename /usr/bin/showrev -> showrev.tmp
    b) create a new showrev with the following script:
    /usr/bin/showrev.tmp -p | grep -v 108528-14
    c) Set the appropriate execute permissions and run the WSDP install.
    d) Don't forget to rename showrev.tmp to showrev after you're done.

  • Install Failed error code 1603 -- SOLVED

    On Windows 7, upgrading to 7.1.0.105. The upgrade deleted the old version, but the install failed with error code 1603. Tried lots of things suggested here and on the net.
    What worked was simply rebooting -- because there was a service: Skype Updater, that had to be deleted for the install to work, and rebooting is the only way to delete it. After the reboot, ran the install and it worked!

    One thing to check for is look at your disk with Disk Utility and see if there is a new "Install OS X" partition. If yes you can delete that partition and resize your original partition (resize not reformat).

  • SCCM software installation failed with error for 1603

    Dear all
    I was trying to deploy Open Office 4.1.0 using SCCM.
    As per many threads the issue might be with the MSI. but I could not figure  out.
    Please help me.
    install fails with error code 1603
    -sumeet

    is this application failure or client installation failure ? with just one error code,difficult to find the exact issue. 1603 is generic error that refers to Fatal error during installation. Are you sure that the command line what you have used is correct
    and is working manually ?
    Check the logs for additional information that might help to trace the problem.

  • Can't install Quick Time 7 - Error 1721 problems with windows installer

    I had QT 6 PRO and an old version of itunes working fine. I tried to upgrade to Itunes 6. The install failed at the last step of installing QuickTime 7.04.
    The error message was "Error 1721.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." So, no QT, therefore no Itunes.
    I did the following:
    cleared my temp directory.
    made sure I had the latest windows installer (3.1 v2)
    removed all traces of itunes and quick time, using Remove Programs, the windows cleanup Utility and manually deleting all files as listed in info article 93976.
    I downloaded the standalone QuckTime 7.04 installer, tired to install and I still get the same error.
    I now have no quick time 6 or 7 and no itunes, and I have no idea what is wrong with the installer.
    I do have access to the install log, and am delighted to reprint it if it will help.
    thanks for any help people can provide.

    HI I am somewhat having the same problem as you with the itunes and QT not fully downloading but i am not computer smart and I am not real sure what you are saying to do. Also it always says "plug-in did not initialize properly" No clue but would appreciate any help from you... Thanks alot

  • Lenovo Solution Center install problem - Error 1721

    Hello, I'm trying to install Lenovo Solution Center to my computer again, after not properly uninstalling it. I simply deleted the files and repaired the registry thinking that it would be fine, and it is not.
    I'm getting the Error 1721 upon installing, installer tries to execute 'KillProcessLSC.exe' under Lenovo Solution Center folder and it cannot, since I deleted them. I need the files under Lenovo Solution Center folder so I can make the installer pass the 'Killing LSC' step, or at least think it passed.
    I got the idea to fixing it from this post. The guy restored the files from Recycle Bin and installer worked just fine. Since I already cleared my Recycle Bin and I did this over a year ago I cannot get the files from recycling. I simply need the files so I can make the installer execute the program it wants and passes that step that I get stuck on. If any other solution is available I'm free to try it, otherwise I'm pretty much sure putting the files in the Lenovo Solution Center folder will fix it. Thanks.

    @bl8demast3r,
    Your post 1 stated:
    Whenever I try to run the hardware scan I get the error:
    "Lenovo Solution Center service is not available. Please restart the application, or reboot your computer if the problem persists."
    Your later post mentioned Scheduled scan, I assume LSC hardware scan.
    ===
    Lsc during the last year has had issues where LSC software fails during a  manual run of hardware scan. Symptoms include Lsc service not available. You have the latest version of LSC.  Monitor what you see and post back if the "service not available"  screen shows up. Describe if this hardware scan was done manualy or a result of the scheduled monhtly run. 

  • Problem Installing Adobe CS 5.5 Web Design Premium, Error Code 6

    I just purchased Adobe CS 5.5 Web Design Premium.  I've attempted installing it about a half dozen times now, maybe more.  I am getting variations of "Error Code 6".
    I have been through steps 1-3 of this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/errors-exit-code-6-exit.html but it hasn't helped (the error log is slightly different, but that's about it).
    I have attempted to look at the descriptions, but many of the errors in my log summary were not on the list of errors here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/installation-launch-log-errors-creative.html - however of the ones that were, I found this entry:
    DF012 Installation source path does not exist: <path>
    The installation files are corrupted.
    Reextract or copy the contents of the installer.
    Which is discouraging and confusing to me, as I have tried installation both from my new, just opened CDs and by downloading the installation files from here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html.
    I'm not sure what my next step should be to try.
    Here's the log information (I deleted a lot of the space between lines (paragraph marks), if that is somehow important, I can paste it here without conserving space):

    i have windows vista basic on a acer aspire 5535, itunes has always worked on my laptop until apple asked me if i wanted to update so i did (i believe the update was for itunes 9/9.2) after this update i am unable to install itunes and get the error 1721 message saying
    There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support or package vendor.
    i have tried EVERYTHING that i have found on the internet about this, i mean everything and i am ready to give up! does anyone know how to fix this? its so frustrating as i need itunes and i know it once did work on my laptop.
    i've tried command prompts, registry cleaners.. the works.
    please help!?

    Hi,
    I like many others choose to update to itunes 10. Straight after installing the software itunes was not working. :s I was annoyed! So follow a message board followed the instructions. Uninstalled it complete, out of Program files everywhere even downloaded a really good uni-installer program to clean everythin up.
    Now Quick Time 7.6 installs. iTunes 10 gets all the way to the end then you get a error message: "THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS INSTALLER PACKAGE. A PROGRAM REQUIRED FOR THIS INSTALL TO COMPLETE COULD NOT BE RUN CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT PERSONNEL OR PACKAGE VENDOR."
    Somebody please help me my life is dull with out the constant flow of new music onto my ipod. :((

  • "Error 1721" when trying to install jdk-6u3-windows-i586-p.exe ??

    When I try to install the just downloaded jdk-6u3-windows-i586-p.exe
    = Java SE 6 upd 3 Development Kit on my WinXP computer at first everything seems fine.
    I can choose the installation options (all except the Java DB).
    and selected the installation folder and start the process.
    The progress bar reaches approx. 80%.
    Then suddenly it stops and a popup appears:
    "Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run".
    What's wrong ?
    BTW: Upd 2 could be installed without problems.

    Hi, Try reregistering the Windows Installer service.. For that restart you system in safe mode then
    Open command prompt and excecute the below commands
    1 msiexec /unregister
    2 msiexec /regserver
    Restart the system normally and check if it works.
    If it doesn't work try using some registry cleaner like CCCleaner to clean your registry.
    Hopw this will work ..
