Adobe Cc An Error Occurred While Running The Installation Check Tool For

  1. I have checked the registry and couldn't find anything to delete or modify under SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion App Paths Photoshop.exe. I also uninstalled creative cloud, ran the creative cloud cleaner tool and reinstalled creative cloud. All other apps install and run perfectly, but not Photoshop CC.
  2. The Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool removes a standalone installation of Reader or Acrobat, including any leftover preferences and settings remaining after a standard program uninstall. While most installs, uninstalls, and updates operations happen without incident, there are cases where a user may not be able to complete such tasks due.

Provides solutions to the error 1603 that occurs when you install a Windows Installer package.


Many PDF files contain comments and markups (collectively called 'annotations') and form fields, placed by reviewers or filled-in and returned by a forms recipient. Often when archiving the PDF file you need to preserve some of these in a non-editable format; a process which Acrobat calls 'flattening'. Annotations live in a separate layer on screen which allows them to to be moved about, hidden and edited.

Flattening converts the visible appearance of the annotation into a content object on the PDF page just like any other, so it can no longer be edited using the commenting tools, and doesn't appear in the Comments list. When a form is flattened, the entries visible on screen become static text objects, and any empty fields are removed completely. The Document Message bar will of course go away too.

Within the Acrobat user interface you only have the option to flatten an entire file - all comments, links, markups and form fields will be flattened throughout the document. That may be OK for a simple form, but what if you have a couple of Text Replace comments you want to flatten and some Stamps or Highlights that you want to keep? What about flattening all the comments while keeping a set of form fields active on the same page?

Well, now you can!

With this free cross-platform JavaScript tool, you can add a new 'Flatten' menu to the 'Edit' menu, containing items to flatten everything or to selectively flatten only particular types of annotation* or form fields and over a page range of your choice.

The script is made available via Creative Commons Share-alike, so you can use it and modify it for personal and commercial purposes provided you do not resell the script itself as a commercial product. It works with Acrobat 8 and higher on Windows and OS X.

This article describes techniques on how to determine and fix Microsoft Office installation failures. The techniques can be applied to all Office installations that use Windows Installer (MSI).

Enable verbose logging

When you troubleshoot Office install failures, make sure that MSI verbose logging is enabled. In Office, there's a setup.exe log file that's created by default. However, it doesn't give the detail that's usually required to diagnose an installation failure. With verbose MSI logging enabled, you will get a verbose log file for each component that Office installs. You will have a verbose log for the installation of the Word component, Excel and so on.

To enable verbose logging, set the following registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsInstaller

'Debug'=dword:00000007

'Logging'='voicewarmup'

For more information about Windows Installer logging, see How to enable Windows Installer logging.

Perform the installation attempt

If you are running your installation manually on the computer as a signed-in user by double-clicking setup.exe, the log files will be generated in the %temp% directory of the user who performs the installation.

Now that you have enabled verbose logging and know where you should look for the logs, just retry your installation. It's failed previously, expect it to fail again. However, this time, you are ready to capture log files that will be detailed enough to help you diagnose the failure point.

Analyzing logs

After your install attempt, you will find that you have somewhere between 1 and 20 logs from the installation in your temp directory.

Here is a screen shot of the verbose logs from an installation attempt.

When you look through the MSI logs, we will typically want to look for a value 3 entry in the logs. Windows installer returns codes during the installation that indicate if a particular function is successful or not.

  • Value 1 = Success
  • Value 2 = Cancel
  • Value 3 = Error

In a good installation, you will typically not see any value 3 entries in the logs.

Therefore, there are many logs to verify. We recommend that you start with the setup.exe log. This log usually has a value 3 entry in it when there is a failure. However, this log is not clear enough to diagnose the issue. If it doesn't have a value 3 entry, look for the first instance of Rolling back package. Rolling back package indicates that the Office installation has failed and Office is trying to 'roll back' the installation. You should be able to identify the failure immediately at that point. As soon as you find value 3 or Rolling back package in the setup.exe log, you should be able to identify which component is failing, and then from there look for the particular MSI log that corresponds to that component.

There is frequently more than one value 3 or rolling back package entry. You should focus on the first entry that you find.

Here are some examples of Office installation failures and how we can identify the failure point.

Analyze log example 1: Office ProPlus 2010 installation

In this example, you don't find a value 3 entry in the setup.exe log, and then you search the setup.exe log for Rolling back package.

You may find the following error:

Error: Failed to install product: C:MSOCacheAll UsersGUID-CProPlusWW.msi ErrorCode: 1603(0x643).

Log level changed from: Standard to: Verbose

Rolling back chain

Date/Time Rolling back package: ProPlusWW

The error doesn't tell you why the installation failed. But it does tell you that the failure occurred during the installation of the ProPlusWW.msi file. Then, you have to find the verbose MSI log that correlates with ProPlusWW.msi.

Note

  • If you know that the failure is in ProPlusWW.msi, but you don't want to waste time finding which MSI log is for ProPlus, it's usually the largest log file.
  • If you don't know which log is the correct log for the ProPlusWW.msi component, open each log one at a time and scroll to the bottom. It indicates which component just tried to install or rollback.

For example, from the bottom of the MSIb0bc7.LOG, you see the information that resembles the following:

MSI (s) (50:CC) [Time]: Note: 1: 1724

MSI (s) (50:CC) [Time]: Product: Microsoft Office Outlook MUI (English) 2010 -- Removal completed successfully.

So this is the verbose MSI log for the Office Outlook MUI component, and the component is from the rollback (the installation failure occurred earlier than this rollback).

When you find the ProPlus log (it's the biggest one), you see the following information that indicates it is the ProPlus log:

Product: C:MSOCacheAll UsersGUID-CProPlusWW.msi

When you search the log for a value 3 entry, you may not find one, but you may see the following error at the bottom of the log:

MSI (s) (B0:14) [Time]: Internal Exception during install operation: 0xc0000017 at 0x7C812AFB.MSI (s) (B0:14) [Time]: WER report disabled for silent install.MSI (s) (B0:14) [Time]: Internal MSI error. Installer terminated prematurely.Out of memory. Shut down other applications before retrying.MSI (s) (B0:14) [Time]: MainEngineThread is returning 1603.

This is a known issue about Windows Installer. To fix this issue, install the hotfix. After you install the hotfix and restart, the installation is successful.

Analyze log example 2: Access 2010 stand-alone install

In this example, you don't find a value 3 entry in the setup.exe log, and then you search the setup.exe log for Rolling back package. You may find the following error:

Error: Failed to install product: C:MSOCacheAll UsersGUID-CAccessRWW.msi ErrorCode: 1601(0x641).

...

Log level changed from: Standard to: Verbose

Rolling back chain

Date/Time Rolling back package: AccessRWW

The error doesn't tell you why the installation failed, but it does tell you that the failure occurred during the installation of the AccessRWW.msi file. Looking through the log files, you may find a log for AccessRWW.msi:

Product: C:MSOCacheAll UsersGUID-CAccessRWW.msi

When you search for a value 3 entry, you find the following error:

CAInitSPPTokenStore.x86: OMSICA : Initializing CustomAction CAInitSPPTokenStore.x86CAInitSPPTokenStore.x86: Error: Failed to initialize the SPP Token store. HResult: 0x80070057.CAInitSPPTokenStore.x86:MSI (s) (2C:D0) [Time]: User policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0MSI (s) (2C:D0) [Time]: Machine policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0Action ended Time: InstallExecute. Return value 3.

To fix this issue, make sure that the network service is running, and then make sure that the following registry keys are present.

  • HKEY_USERSS-1-5-20
  • HKEY_USERSS-1-5-19

Analyze logs example 3: Office ProPlus 2010

In this next example, you find a value 3 entry in the setup.exe log that resembles the following:

MSI(ERROR): 'Error 1304. Error writing to file: C:WINDOWSwinsxsPoliciesx86_policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.ATL_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_x-ww_5f0bbcff8.0.50727.4053.policy. Verify that you have access to that directory.'

Log level changed from: Standard to: Verbose

Not showing message because suppress modal has been set. Title: 'Setup', Message: 'Error 1304. Error writing to file: C:WINDOWSwinsxsPoliciesx86_policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.ATL_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_x-ww_5f0bbcff8.0.50727.4053.policy. Verify that you have access to that directory.'

Message returned: 2

MSI(USER): 'Are you certain you want to cancel?'

MSI(INFO): 'Action ended 14:03:01: InstallExecute. Return value 3.'

When you see a value 3 entry in the setup.exe log, it will sometimes give you enough information to fix the issue without having to view the verbose MSI log. In this case, the verbose MSI log just repeated what we found in the setup.exe log.

In this case, you should consider updating .net framework, and verifying the permissions in c:windowswinsxs.

Known errors from verbose logs and possible resolutions

Some of these suggestions discuss working with registry keys.

Warning

Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you change the registry incorrectly. Before you change it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.

Solution

This most frequently occurs because of issues when you upgrade Office. First thing to try is to remove the earlier version of Office before you install a new version. You can remove the earlier version of Office automatically by using the appropriate tool from here. After you remove the earlier version of Office, try to install the newer version of Office.

1913

Error 1913: Setup cannot update file C:/windows/win.ini.Verify that the file exists in your system and that you have sufficient permissions to update it.

Cause

There's a known issue with Trend Micro that might be causing this issue and preventing the Office installation.

Solution

If you use Antivirus or other security software, consider uninstalling it, rebooting and trying the installation again.

Error 1714

Error 1714. Setup cannot remove the older version of Microsoft Office Product_Name 2007. Contact Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) for assistance. For information about how to contact PSS, see C:DOCUME~1usernameLOCALS~1TempSetup00000d64PSS10R.CHM.

Solution

  • Method 1: Remove the earlier versions of Office first if you try to perform an upgrade. For more information about how to remove Office, see Uninstall Office from a PC.
  • Method 2: Perform a side-by-side installation instead of upgrading. (This is a Customize button).

Error 1719

Error 1719. Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact support personnel for assistance.

Cause

This issue occurs if the registry keys are corrupted or incorrect at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesmsiserver.

Solution

Method 1:

  1. Export the msiserver registry key from a known good computer that uses the same OS and Windows Installer version.

  2. Back up and then delete the existing msiserver key on the bad computer under:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesmsiserver

  3. Import the registry file from the known good computer to the bad computer.

  4. Restart and then retry the installation.

Method 2:

Refer to 'The Windows Installer service could not be accessed' error message when you try to install Office.

Error 1406

Error 1406.Setup cannot write the value to the registry key CLSIDGUID. Verify that you have sufficient permissions to access the registry or contact Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) for assistance. For information about how to contact PSS see C:UsersADMINI~1AppDataLocalTempSetup00000e64PSS10R.CHM.'

Log level changed from: Standard to: Verbose

MSI(INFO): 'Action ended Time: InstallExecute. Return value 3.

Cause

This error indicates incorrect registry permissions. In this example, you would find incorrect registry permissions on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSIDGUID.

Solution

The user account that's being used to install Office has to have access to the registry key in question. You can also compare registry permissions on a device where the installation is successful.

Error 1920

Error 1920. Service 'Office Software Protection Platform' (osppsvc) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

Log level changed from: Standard to: Verbose.

MSI(INFO): 'Action ended Time: InstallExecute. Return value 3.

Cause

This error indicates possible incorrect permissions on the OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform folder, or incorrect permissions on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTAPPID.

Error

Solution

Method 1:

Give the Network Service account full permission on the OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform folder.

Method 2:

  1. Compare the permissions on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTAPPID from a good computer, with the problem computer.
  2. Try granting 'Restricted' to the following permissions: Query Value, Enumerate Subkeys, Notify, and Read Control.
