ID: 55514 Comment by: Chris_Walsh at Prodigy dot net Reported by: Chris_Walsh at Prodigy dot bet Summary: Can't install PHP 5.2.17. Error code 2738 Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Windows Vista PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Did I commit a typo in my email address?? should be "dot net" not "dot bet" of course. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-26 21:23:34] Chris_Walsh at Prodigy dot bet Description: ------------ I have seen other bugs categorized as being in the "Windows Installer" package but I don't have that option in the dropdown menu so I have put it as "unknown/other" I am trying to install 5.2.17 because, according to http://windows.php.net/download/ it is what I need to use with Apache. (I don't see a later version for Windows that looks usable) The "PHP version" drop-down implies I should be using something more recent that 5.2.x but the Windows download page doesn't give me the options to use something more current. I want to install php-5.2.17-Win32-VC6-x86.msi (as opposed to the "nts" version) because it has the option for Apache 2.2 in the Web Server Setup options. If I need to use a more recent version, then the info at http://windows.php.net/download/ is misleading at best: "Which version do I choose? If you are using PHP with Apache 1 or Apache2 from apache.org you need to use the VC6 versions of PHP" Here's my situation: I get most of the way through the installation and I get an error pop-up saying "the installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2738" I have done a great deal of searching on this and have found many references recommending doing some registry changes. This page in particular seems to explain well what to do: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2007/05/31/windows-installer-errors-2738-and-2739-with-script-custom-actions.aspx I have done what it recommends yet I still get the error. The keys mentioned are not in HKCU, which I checked using regedit. VBScript, B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8 is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE This dll is the one that causes the 2738 error, apparently. JScript, F414C260-6AC0-11CF-B6D1-00AA00BBBB58 is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, which I mention because it is referenced in the link I cite above. I have tried deleting and re-registering the dlls ("regsvr32 vbscript.dll) and that didn't help. I have hit a dead end. Expected result: ---------------- Would like to be able to get php installed on my Vista PC. Actual result: -------------- Error ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55514&edit=1
