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.

ASKER

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.xml Application-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.

ASKER

I have attached the latest two MSI install logs.
MSI736de.LOG MSI74a00.LOG

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

Thanks for the help so far but that links to some RegCure software which looks a little suspicious.

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.

Sorry please disregard my message about regcure.. I've used it for Client not server editions

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

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied

ASKER

I have tried both domain admin and local admin both with the same result/error codes.

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.

Check permissions on HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services

ASKER

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

The permissions for 'HLKM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services' list Administrators as having 'Full Control' (I have tried several accounts which are part of this group).

Does SYSTEM have full control also? That's what matters.

...also, try to give full permissions on that key to everyone - just to see if it makes difference. If it does, then investigate further.

ASKER

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.

ASKER

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've requested that this question be closed as follows:

for the following reason:

Ended up being a leftover ESET HIPS policy which was implemented following a virus outbreak.
