Hi,

During Un-Installation of any Exe on Vista with UAC on,it displays a prompt saying "Unknown Publisher".

When is this thing going to be fixed.

Is there a KB article Which i can refer to?

I installed this

Windows6.0-KB942288-v2-x86.msu

on vista 32 bit home edition

but I am still getting error

"this installation package could not be opened verify that the package exists and that you can acces it..."  

when I try to install things like quicktime and google earth

Can a Setup use 4.5 features (like transaction processing) in place until the reboot since MSI 4.5 redist installation requires a reboot?

Hey Holger -- Deferred reboot is supported on Windows XP and Server 2003, but not for Windows Vista and Server 2008 systems.

Thanks Tyler, but does that mean that transaction processing can be used in place until the reboot? Cause it does not work for me.

hi i dont now how to install windows installer 3.1

Just to confirm, since there are different redist installer for different OS, each application installer has to package all redist installers, detect the target OS and launch the OS specific redist installer?  Why can't there be a single redist installer that applies to all OS?

I want to use the fourth field in the Product version of MSI. Whether the Windows installer considers the fourth field or not?

In one of our test setup we are installing our

application developed using VS2005 along with the VS2005 redistributables. The machine have

dual boot system with Win2000 in d:\ and Win2003 in c:\. The installation fails. Without

the redistributables in the installer the installation proceeds smoothy.However for VS2005 developed application we need to install the redistributables.

Hi

Windows installer 4.5 is it inbuilt for any Operating System

thanks for replying, i cant install anything as i get error 1719 installer cannot be accesed,the path is missing, i thought installer would realise the missing link and self repair but this has not happened either..

i have tried this (Windows6.0-KB942288-v2-x86.msu) still says this update is not for my system. why cant i find the prog and simply reinstall it? any ideas?

I am still getting the error that says windows installer service could not be accessed even after installing WI4.5. I have tried all the solutions given by Microsoft and none of them worked for me. Is there a way to fix this?

Thx
