I replaced my computer with a new one, and it has Vista 64 bit operating system. When I try to install Add-in Express 2009 for .Net Standard, I get the following error message.

"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."

I've searched the forums, but others who said they had the same problem was emailed a solution and it was not posted here.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello Charles,

Is the UAC enabled?
Do you run the setup.exe?

Yes, UAC is enabled.

I did run setup.exe, but I ran the msi file by mistake first.

No. This is why I am getting the error message.

Hi Charles.

Is Windows Vista 64 bits up to date? Please check it in the 'Windows Updates' dialog.
Did you change something in the DEP dialog of Windows (Data Execution Prevention)?

Windows Vista 64 is up to date, and nothing has been changed in the Data Execution Prevention.

If the msi file leaves something behind, please tell me how to remove all of it from the system so that I can start over.

Thanks.

I got this message a few times - after removing the user\software\add-in express key from the registry, and running the setup package as an admin, it installed fine.

Thanks, Yuri!

It was the registry key. I can't believe I forgot to do this. I've always removed registry keys when an installation goes bad. :D
