I have used sfc /scanow and everything else I can think of but Roboform install file airoboform.exe refuses to open. Get kernel32.dll error each time.

I wanted to give you a quick follow up. It seems that 2 other programs I tried also had the Kernel error. I did run sfc /scannow as I said so am at a loss as to what is the real issue. I'll be back tomorrow and hope we can get a fix. Thank you. Sorry i should have said thank you earlier.

try in safe mode.

Thanks but I tried that first without success but thank you so much for the try

if roboform setup was windows installer-based, probably some installer repair might help; but it's not. If you now get kernel errors elsewhere, maybe time to run repair installation of windows.

What does your event log say about these events? That might be more helpful than the error log you attached.

Also, you may want to check what is going on during such a failed installation by using Sysinternal's Process Monitor: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx

Run it, stop the capture (CTRL + E), clear the log (CTRL + X), make sure with the icons on the right side of the icon bar that all activity is included except profiling events; then arrange windows so that you can easily switch between Process Monitor and the installer executable, re-enable capture, run the installer, after the error appears and you click OK, quickly disable capture.
Then go File > Save > Events displayed (exclude profiling), save to the native .PML format.
Add a ".txt" extension to the log file's name, zip it up, and attach it here.

Hello
Hope I did this as you wished.If I have not please let me know and I will try again but
I think this is as you wished.

I appreciate your efforts and hope you are able to glean what is wrong.

Thank you

I'll try to analyze the file soon. However, it is 133 Mb large - that is 10 times larger than I expected. Won't be easy to dig through this heap of data.

Have you checked your application event log (Start > Run > "eventvwr.msc")? It should contain event reports about these failed installations. The event ID and event source would help in investigating further.

It looks like it interferes with your ObjectDock application.

First off I am sorry for the size and mess. I will look into the errors. Would you like me to post what I find? Perhaps itr will help cut through the bulk?
Let me know.

Again thank you for your help and for not sending me a pipe bomb .

I tried removing the application from the ysytem but Object Dock seems to not be part of it. I will try again.

I did as you asked and you are right. It seems the more I do the more i add on and that is not my usual way of doing things. I will remove a bunch of the offending programs and delete the log as you suggest.
I want you to know that I have been in touch with Siber Systems, the makers of Roboform. Talk about worse than useless. I say this knowing I should not but i have to tell you they will do anything not to do anything. That said, they swayed me away from their product but before  bury it I need to make it run to get the data out of the program. Their proprietary  extension is great up until you need to get to it than watch out.

For what it is worth I came upon a plug in and third party program. It is called LastPass. It is a free password manager. It is better than Roboform. More secure and more intuitive. If you wish to use it with different browsers no problem. It works with them all and imports them as well. Roboform being totally proprietary it must be installed to export the data to HTML

I thought it prudent to pass this on because, like myself most people feel they get what they pay for. Nope, nopt this time, that's for sure. You perhaps know this product but if yiou do not i suggest you look at it. It is truly complete and incredibly well constructed.

I'll get back to you tonight and let you know what happens. Again, . Torimar, thank you for all your hard work and efforts. I will be forever grateful as you make my investment into Experts-Exchange worth every penny of the monthly charge. Regardless of how this comes out I wanted you to know I appreciate you efforts.

I showed your comment to the founder of Siber Stystems. His recommendation:

"Yes, our 1st line supporters may give you some uninformed answers, like all 1st line supporters do.

We recommed to try to get to the 2nd line by referring your ticket to the supervisor."

Hello
Eureka!
Well I tried everything and more. I then said hmmmmmmm. What else can i try. I did as you suggested and looked through the logs. I found the software was blocking somewhere. I did the registry, error logs and then went on line and looked up the command line options.

Well the answer was right in my face. I did a command line, /silent and did not try to include the plug ins for IE and Firefox. Firefox is my browser of choice. As soon as I hit run it started the install went without a hitch. After that I installed the plug ins for both browsers. That did it. You are a stealy eyed missile man as my Dad was want to say.

After all that I finally was able to import all my information into Lastpass and that was so easy once the Roboform application was installed. Then, you guessed it. I removed Roboform and since then I have been enjoying the ride and unless something drastic happens I will not install Roboform again. As I mentioned yesterday Lastpass is so much more and free.

Thank you so much again for all your expert, friendly and courteous help. I cannot express how much it helped.
