MSI Installation Errors 1001/2869
Posted on 2013-01-03
Hi all
I am trying to install two supporting services for a web application we are using within our network.
When trying to run the two installers they are failing with two separate errors namely 'Error 1001. Access is denied' & 'The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2869.'
I have not yet done a restart on the server but will try to do so tonight to clear any MSI related install issues, I have enabled MSI logging but it does not really point at what the issue may be.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Naturally, you have to find out access to what is denied. Possible sources: (1) from detailed log - look what action was attempted before the error (2) by enabling security audit logging on the machine, so security event log will show what has failed (3) by using Process Monitor during the installation, and looking for "access denied" among the collected entries.

I think a restart would solve the problem but you might wanna look into your event viewer for further detailed error logs and post them here to help us as well check what's causing these errors.
A restart did not solve the issue for me, I have attached an Application and System log that contain entries related to the two installs.
System-Log.xmlApplication-Log.xml
The security audit log does not show any failures relating to the application install.
Monitoring via the Process Monitor is also inconclusive it is not showing any Access Denied errors for the application install.

The ScRegSetValueExW call failed for Start with the following error:
Access is denied.
says it tried to set registry value when this happened. Look more carefully with Process Monitor, look specifically at monitoring registry activities.
Also, please post detailed installation log.

Check this link please, according to some threads the error is caused by broken registry or missing system files.

According to the 1st log you posted, the installation tried to show you error dialog, presumably with some useful information, but failed because of the error of the developers. This can be resolved by contacting the developers and asking them to fix this problem "The dialog ErrorDialog has the error style bit set, but is not an error dialog". If this issue is urgent, we can do it for you as well, however you have to review the legal agreements you agreed to when you obtained the installation.
The 2nd log is the one with "access denied", and it also has a problem with showing you the information about the error, also because of the way it's authored. I'm sure you can catch "access denied" with Process Monitor if you look closely enough.
Another hint:, these errors seem to be centered around the custom action in the installation with the name "ManagedInstall". Perhaps if you tried some other method of deployment, the problem would go away.

P.S. I highly doubt that error 2869 could be caused by registry problem on the target workstation - it specifically says "The dialog [2] has the error style bit set, but is not an error dialog”", which is authoring problem with the dialog within the installation. Without looking much further, I would be willing to bid 10 vs 1 that "Error 2869 Repair Tool" is some scam. This page shares some ways to fix it, but it's for installation package developers.

Thanks for the help so far, after speaking to the developers at length on Friday it looks like it is a permissions issue with writing to the registry and allowing Windows services to be created which is resulting in Access Denied errors.
Having not setup this server or implemented any of the local security policies on the machine it might require more digging to get the two services to install.

Yes, It's very obvious it's a permission issue! Are you using domain user/admin or local admin ?
if you're using domain user/admin could you try using local admin? and if you're already on local admin could you try to follow the first link I have posted?
Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services

Can you try to run CMD as an administrator ? and try again the manual installation.
if this didn't work try the instructions in the Link to test if UAC is affecting it.
Last if non worked could you remove net Framework then reboot and re-install it.

I have also tried run the installers from an elevated command prompt, will try the .NET framework re-install as well if possible.

...also, try to give full permissions on that key to everyone - just to see if it makes difference. If it does, then investigate further.
SYSTEM does have Full Control, adding Everyone with Full Control does not make a difference unfortunately.
Resetting the UAC settings to default in Local Security Policy produces the same errors as before.

Just an update:
The issue ending up being a HIPS policy in ESET Anti-Virus blocking write access the registry, once this was removed I was able to install the two installation packages.

I think, the found solution ("blocking write access the registry") is in sync with our multiple recommendations to find out access to what is denied:
