Re: [PHP] Error on installing under Windows Vista leads to inability to uninstal
He did say or Win XP. I'll have to go back to find your original post to see if I can help. Well, from your subject, maybe you can use a System Restore point? --- If you need a stable, secure OS, get Ubuntu. If you need a stable, secure OS, and need new hardware, get a Mac. (Guaranteed OSX Ultimate Capable) From: Stephan G [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Alan: Thank you for your suggestion on wiping the disk and reloading the OS, which I imagine you might be suggesting because of your political feelings to Microsoft... which I don't think are wrong. However, this would not be a practical solution for me in any way, and this installer claims on the PHP site to be Vista compatible, so I am hoping there is a much less destructive way of dealing with this issue. Anyone else? Many thanks. -stephan Alan Milnes wrote: On 18/07/07, Stephan G [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have tried to install the following on my Windows Vista Home Premium System: Ah I see the problem there Vista is not a mature OS yet - wait until at least SP1 before trying it. 1.

RE: [PHP] Error on installing under Windows Vista leads to inability to uninstal
From: Stephan G [EMAIL PROTECTED] php-5.2.3-win32-installer.msi It has the following md5 sum, taken locally on my system: 4d042f649d9c264477e1b421c64c6435 I can confirm the same md5 sum. The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2738. A few hits for a search on msi error 2738 give: Could not access VBScript run time for custom action I would appreciate help with any of the following (roughly in my priority order): 1. How can I uninstall this and remove it from my system? Try a System Restore point. 2. What is error code 2738 and what does it mean? Could not access VBScript run time for custom action 3. What steps might I take subsequently to install without incurring this error? Maybe test that any VBScript can run before trying this installer. Maybe M$ is protecting you from running potentially malicious scripts. You didn't get a PC Guy Agent: VBScript would like to run. Allow or Deny? Perhaps the installer from the PHP site is bad and M$ is not the guilty party. _ http://liveearth.msn.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
