Windows Installer & Contribute 3.11

I installed Contribute 3.11 on my Windows 2000 machine today.
Yes, my work still makes us use Windows 2000, Office 2000, and IE6.
After installing the program, it now runs Windows Installer every
time I try to open up any Office, IE, or Explorer window. This runs
for 3-5 minutes before finally opening up the window. I have tried
every fix on the forums, multiple uninstalls, Windows Install
Cleanup, reg edits deletions, multiple reboots, etc, etc, etc. The
support desk was of course no help. Does anyone else have any other
idea on how to get this off of my machine. I can no longer see
Contribute or FlashPage but I am still having the same problem. My
work productivity was probably negative today because of this
ridiculous glitch.
Please help.
Thanks,
Jill

  • ITunes 10.5 Upgrade fails to Install. The Error Message is: "There is a Problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

    When Upgrading on my laptop from iTunes 10.2.11 to 10.5.0 the message I get is: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package.  Aprogram run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or pacakge vendor.

    After reading all these posts, one by one did not resolve my problem until I got the very end.  Regardless of what step would resolve your problem, these are the steps I would recomment to everyone for a what seems to be a safe and fool-proof upgrade to iTunes 10.5.
    1. Stand alone upgrade to the latest Quicktime version
    2. Go to control panel and "change" then select repair to the following applications in the order specified by the post on Oct 27. (Notice I skipped Quicktime because it had been upgrade manually,and Bonjour did not have a "repair" option)
    iTunes; Apple Software Update: Mobile Device Support; Apple Applications Support
    Some of these applications may not appear if they do not apply to your configuration (no iPhone, or no iPad, or other apple devices).
    Once all updated, I did not need to restart nor launch any applications, I simply went straight into the 10.5 upgrade, and where it normally got stuck, this time the installation continued for a while longer until it completed successfully.
    Great work everyone who contributed!  Thank you very much!

  • Enter Network Password/Windows Installer

    Hi
    We are having problems with Macromedia Contribute 3 and I was wondering if anyone could help.  Please note that I am still in the "infancy stage" of computer literacy so patience is requested!!
    First issue - I keep getting the box "enter network password". I try to do so, and it keeps coming back up. CONSTANTLY. I thought until recently that it had to do with our email program, but was informed by my internet provider that it is for our website. How do I make this box go away and STAY away?
    Second Issue - When I try to right click on a file or document, I get the box "Windows Installer" and the message "Please wait while windows configures Macromedia Contritbute ". I hit "cancel" and then get "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD ROM or other removable disck that is not available. Insert the Macromedia Contribute 3 disck and click ok" (I do not have this disk). Then I get "error 1706. No valid source could be found for product Macromedia Contricute 3. The Windows Installer cannot continue".
    Can anhone help????

    Hi,
    Please try to enable the following security policies to check the result:
    1. Enter “gpedit.msc” in the Start Search box.
    2. Open “Computer Configuration”/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies/Security Settings.
    3. In the right pane, enable the following policies:
    Network access: Allow anonymous SID/name translation
    Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users
    Meanwhile, just for test, check the NTML settings:
    Click the start button and type secpol.msc in the search function.
    Browse to "Local Policies" -> "Security Options". 
    Now look for the entry "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level" and open it. 
    Click on the dropdown menu and select "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated". 
    Apply the settings.

  • Unable to install itunes 10.5 after update issue. "windows installer package error"

    So when the update for itunes happened, it wiped my ipod, and then my ipod would not work with itunes. So I uninstalled itunes and tried to reinstall it and it gives me that error 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." I have tried all the fixes from deleting everything to running command prompts. I think i tried everything.
    Method 1: Right click on the setup file and, from the drop down menu, select 'run as administrator'
    Method 2: Open command prompt in elevated mode and, then unregistered and re-register Windows Installer.
    1. In the Start search box and then type 'cmd', when the command application appears at the top of the start window, right click on it and, from the drop down menu, select 'run as administrator' and type each of these commands in the command prompt and press Enter
       • msiexec /unregister
       • msiexec /regserver
    msiexec.exe belongs to the Windows Installer Component and is used to install new programs that use Windows Installer package files (MSI)
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Command-Prompt-frequently-asked-ques tions
    Method 3: Start the Windows Installer service
    1. Click Start, type Services.msc and press {ENTER}
    2. Double-click Windows Installer
    3. Set the Startup type of Windows Installer to Manual
    4. Click Start to start the service. Note down the error message if any.
    5. Click OK.
    If the above mentioned steps don’t resolve the issue, then
    follow the steps and check whether you can resolve the issue:
    Method 4: Empty your Temp directory and restart
    1.       Choose Start > Computer
    2.       In Computer, open the "C:" drive.
    3.       Open the Users folder.
    4.       Double-click the folder titled with your username.
    5.       If you see an AppData folder, skip to step 10. If you don't see an AppData folder, proceed to the next step.
    6.       Choose Organize > Folder and Search Options.
    7.       Click the View tab.
    8.       Select the option to "Show hidden files and folders." (In Windows 7 this option will be called "Show hidden files, folders, and drives").
    9.       Click OK.
    10.    Double-click the AppData folder to open it. If Windows needs your permission to continue click Continue.
    11.    Double-click the Local folder to open it.
    12.    Right-click on the Temp folder and choose Delete.
    13.    In the confirmation dialog that appears click Yes.
    14.    If you are unable to delete the Temp folder, close all programs, especially those in the Notification area ("System Tray") of the Windows Task bar and repeat step 12.
    15.    Restart your computer.
    Method 5: Removing iTunes
    Note: iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes.
    1.       Quit iTunes.
    2.       From the Start menu, click Control Panel.
    3.       In Control Panel, click Uninstall a program. The Programs and Features Control Panel opens.
    Alternately, in Classic Panel of Control Panel, click Programs and Features.
    4.       Select iTunes from the list of currently installed programs, then click Uninstall.
    5.       When asked if you would like to remove iTunes, click Yes.
    6.       After the uninstallation is complete, do not restart your computer if you are prompted to.
    7.       If other program entries were listed for iTunes in Programs and Features remove those as well.
    8.       In Programs and Features, also remove any iPod Updater applications that are listed in the same fashion as you removed iTunes.
    Method 6: You may also try downloading the Windows Installer Cleanup utility and run that to remove the leftover ITunes installer files that may be causing issues with your current installation.
    You may refer the following article to download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

    Next, go to the start menu again and type in the search box: “services.msc”.
    Look for and find the Windows Installer service.
    Double click on it and tell it to stop. Next, tell it to start.
    You should now be able to install your programs.
    ------  By the way I dont have the WOW64 option is not available.
    I was able to install quick time just fine. All of the other apple software associated with itunes installed fine but itunes did not. Im not sure if there is a virus that could do this. I didnt delete anything but apple folders.
    I have tried other things but i cant remember exactly there were.
    When the install process for itunes is running it changes with the error message shows up during install.
    Thanks.

    I should have posted this earlier, but anyway. I restored my laptop to factory version after backing up any useful data, and the first thing I the laptop was restored was connect to the internet, download and install the latest version of iTunes. And Bingo! It worked.

  • Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • Itunes and windows installation prob...

    I had an older version of itunes and tried to upgrade to 7.1.

I uninstalled the old itunes and quicktime...any other suggestions?

    with that one, let's try the following procedure.
    first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
    next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
