Sometimes when you are installing or uninstalling a software program, you may be faced with some kind of Windows installer error. They occur as warning messages. Mainly, the reason for them is the Windows Installer service. Some examples of these errors are:

  • Error 5: Access is denied
  • Error 1706: No valid source could be found for product [2]
  • Error 1911: Could not register type library for file [2]
  • Error 1155: File [1] not found
  • Error 1325: “[2]” is not a valid short file name
  • Error 2755: Server returned unexpected error
  •  

    Dealing with the Error
    Sometimes, believe it or not, you can solve the problem by simply emptying the “temp” folders!

    1. Open your Internet Browser and click on Options.
    2. Access the Security or Privacy tabs.
    3. Locate the link to the Temporary Interent Files and opt to clear them. This won’t harm your computer.

    If that doesn’t do it, however, then the easiest thing to do is to abort your install or uninstall the program and then reinstall it. Putting Muscle Behind your Un-Installation

    It often helps if you use an ‘uninstall’ program, like Revo, that will remove EVERYTHING associated with the program. The uninstall that comes with most programs can leave a lot of trash behind, even program folders, and they often leave junk in your system registry.

    Most of the time a clean reinstall will solve the problem. If it doesn’t, get another copy of (or re-download) the software and try that. If you are still having installer problems, check you may need some professional help from an accredited cleaning tool.
