Programs not installing on Vista Home Basic


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

I tried to install Ninja Trader last night. The setup.exe started running but then nothing happened. This morning I tried to install Microsoft Data Access Component version 2.8 which I downloaded from Microsoft but same thing. The .msi starts but then nothing happens. I am running Vista Home Basic on a Dell Vostro 1700 laptop 1.6 Core 2 Duo with 2gb RAM. I checked Event Viewer but I can't seem to find anything in there.

Thanks.

They say it runs fine on Vista, and they even say "XP or Vista" in their requirements, so it's not a Vista issue. Try looking at the install log file to see what goes wrong.

If they are infact .msi files, there should be a log for them under the source MSIInstaller, and it will write an event whether there was an error, or if it completed successfully.

Are you able to install other programs on the computer at all? Is it only MSI files that are not installing?
