The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

his normally happens when the Windows Installer is not registered or the services which is not started.

Solution
=======
1. Open a CMD.EXE prompt.
2. Type msiexec /unregister and press Enter.
3. Type msiexec /regserver and press Enter.

This may be off key:

I run McAfeee:
That AV program that restricts users, and software installs, from editting registry. Maybe your AV program is stopping resitry edits and sees executables as a threat.

No comment has been added to this question in more than 21 days, so it is now classified as abandoned.

I will leave the following recommendation for this question in the Cleanup topic area:
   Split: My_Username {http:#20010293} & KCTS {http:#20010848} & Network_Data_Support {http:#20013403} & ChiefIT {http:#20020587}

Any objections should be posted here in the next 4 days. After that time, the question will be closed.

I had the same problem with win2003 server stnd. Solved it by:
1. Assign as password to the local administrator account using >Control Panel>Computer Management>Local Users and Groups>Users
2.Right Click on setup.exe or whatever executable. Run as Local Administrator, give the password.

Worked well for me.
