Here's the latest in a long series of unsolvable problems where Windows Essentials 2012 can not be installed.
The repeated error message - error 0x80040609 - source WLX suite
Installation stops when installing Messenger. There are no previous Messenger installations on the computer.
The computer is running 64 bit Windows 7 . Windows was freshly installed on the computer a few months ago with no problem.
To save the time of asking me to take steps that will work:
Windows firewall is turned on.
I've downloaded and tried running the offline standalone installer.
I'm running current DirectX.
All Windows Live directories and files have been removed. Uninstall advice does not work because the programs were never installed in the first place
I've downloaded the installation fail fixit and run it.
I've run Windows update.
I've found and zipped the installation log file but so far there's no place to send it.
There are no viruses or malware
Windows Media Player already is installed.
I've run msiexec /unreg
msiexec /regserver
The Windows Installer service is running.
Clearly, no online advice has worked and there are no solutions.
However, I expect that someone will insist that I try something that already has failed.;
