Fatal Error - "Installation Ended Prematurely because of an error"

Hello KUNIBABINA,

What version of Windows 7 are you using? The different versions are Windows 7 Starter, Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate. There is not a Windows 7 Home Basic version but there is a Windows Vista Home Basic. Is that the version that is on your Dell Laptop?

Have you tried to install by right click on the setup.exe or .msi and choose "Run as Administrator"?
What errors do you have in the Event Viewer?

Please reply back with an update.

Sincerely,

Dear Marilyn,

           There is Windows 7 Home Basic, have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7_editions. I have tried running the program as administrator as well as by using compatibility suite. In event viewer error code is 1603(win7 home premium). Sometimes fire-fox as well as windows explorer crashes.

Regards

Amit

Hello KUNIBABINA,

I stand corrected as there is a Windows 7 Home Basic in other countries. Are you using Windows 7 Home Basic?

Have you tried to install these programs in Safe Mode?

Start the program in safe mode

1. Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key (it may be a different function key on your computer) on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when you see the boot menu.

2. When the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, select Safe Mode, and then press Enter.

3. Log onto Windows by using the Administrator account or any user account with the Administrator privilege.

Note: In Safe Mode, your system display and Desktop will look and perform differently than in Normal Mode. This is only temporary. To return the system back to Normal Mode, we can simply restart the computer.

To determine whether the issue that occurs with the program is caused by another program that is running in the background, we recommend that you restart the computer in safe mode and then test the program. If the program runs correctly in safe mode, but does not run correctly in normal mode, there likely is another program that is conflicting with the program in question.

To determine which program is causing a conflict with the program in question, we recommend that you perform a "clean boot" of the computer. A clean boot is intended to disable as many background services and programs as possible. This helps determine which service or program may be causing the problem.

In safe mode, be sure and run the installation in an elevated mode and select, Run as Administrator.

Please let us know the outcome.

Thanks,

Dear  Marilyn,

          There is no safe mode for win7 home premium especially in HP Laptop except that it has one touch recovery console. I tried by disabling the programs in ms config but installation failed. I tried by running the program as administrator also.

Thanks

Hello KUNIBABINA,

You might try the forums at http://www.mikroe.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=12&sid=f83288c06575f7d29ddb7c04ede15c69 to see if they can help with your installation issue since they would be more familiar with the software you are installing.

I have included the link for a FlowCode forum. There are different one for FlowCode 2 & 3 and a separate one for FlowCode 4. I'm not sure what version you are using.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

The following worked for me:

http://www.qliktips.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

The registration key of vbscript under ( 32bit and 64 bit versions)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}

or

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}

is wrongly repeated under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. This would explain why sometimes running the installation as an administrator sometimes works.
