Hi Teabore.

When you say “If you are a package creator: check the propertios of custom actions – if you set the Processing property to “Ignore exit code”, it will be run simulteanously.”

What do you mean by “…it will be run simulteanously”?
Are you saying that this issue is due to the options that a package installer uses when creating an install package?

Greatly appreciate the post.

Having trouble…I am trying to reinstall windows xp. Dell kindly decided not to give me a hard copy of the disc, so I have to attempt a reinstall using the system that is already on the hard drive (winnt.exe or whatever it is). However, when it is about 2/3 of the way through copying installation files in the OS installer, I get hit with this error. I have tried all the suggested fixes here — it seems like the same problem that poster Andrew Foster had. Any help?

!!! Great thanks to you !!!

The problem was same “with Windows Installer Package – #1720 – couldn’t run script(!)”.

I have visited several forums and everywhere I read the same steps of solving this problem. And nothing could help me.

So, if somebody have the same problem – try to [re]install Windows Scripts (latest version was 5.7). Then reboot (or run “Start”+”R” –> “wscript -regserver”) and try to install again. Hope, it will help not only me

That’s one more way to solve this problem. So, note it.

PS Sorry for my “speech” – English isn’t my native language.

Thanks a lot – the other solutions didn’t (corporate computer so options greyed out) but this one worked just fine for me.
Kudos!!!

Ohh man, thanks for the solution, in the pc of my friend i just need update the windows installer of 3.0 for 4.5.

Thanks…

this works if you have problems installing borderlands just so u know

I have tried the above solutions but none of them unfortunately work for reinstalling windows xp via the i386 step (no xp disc). Any further help on this would be gratefully accepted

This topic hasn’t been discussed for a few months, but in trying different steps on this page I found that the Microsoft Fix it program actuall fixed my program. It is Microsoft Fix it 50181, linked here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949140
I wasn’t recieving the “Library not registered” error that the microsoft page talks about, but It fixed my 1720 error.

If you have done the troubleshooting steps above, then you might need to consider reformatting your operating system. Make sure you backup important data first.

Hello!
I keep having the same error message when I’m trying to install the NEC Image Utility Express 2.0 on my XP SP3…
I tried everything you send without succes.

Any idea?

Thanks.

I’ve solved this problem by using msicleanup.exe by/for MS Office.

By the way Guys, this solution also works with windows 7.

I am having the same ussues with the Flip camera Jumped through all the hoops and still cannot get the flipshare to install due to the error “There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script for this intall to complete could not be run. Contact you support personnel or package vendor.” “There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script for this intall to complete could not be run. Contact you support personnel or package vendor.”

I got the same reply, diagnosis, and referral from the FLIP support group. I have tried everything they suggested with no success. I upgraded to Roxio Creator 2010 for $99 (less $20 rebate). So, my “work-around” the FLIP support(lack of) has cost me many hours and $79.

I am also having problems with installing Flipshare onto XP. Getting the same error response that Scott mentioned. I also contacted Flip and they mentioned that it was a problem with Windows with a link to this website. I too have updated everything and rebooted with no luck and the same error message.

I went ahead and contacted Microsoft who sent me to my vendor, Dell. I worked with the Dell folks for about three hours including re-installing the newest installer (the one you’re listed). While it cleaned up my machine I still couldn’t load the Flipshare program. I recontacted Flip and have been working with a customer service supervisor to see if they can facilitate a resolution via the tech folks. The tech side is calling my problem solved from their perspective – and I guess it is if they don’t see it as their problem. I’m not sure Flip thinks they have much of a problem. Unless we go back to tell them it’s not so, we may not get a fix. Dell didn’t think the problem was in the registry. FYI, I was able to check out a new Dell at work and the software loaded readily. What’s different?

Did you follow the instructions above?

I have the exact same problem as scott….what 2-do now?

I am in the same place as John. I am running an up-to-date XP Dell attempting to load Flipshare 5.0.5 with no success. I have received the following comments with when I’ve attempted to reload the program after the fix at each step above: “There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script for this intall to complete could not be run. Contact you support personnel or package vendor.”

Then came this one: “It seems you have an incomplete or correupt installation. Please use Add/remove Programs to uninstall ‘previous version.’”

I’ve tried every step you suggested, re-booting after every change. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to load the program thus far. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have almost the same problem and have the same response from FLIP. I’ve completely updated Windows (XP sp3), downloaded Installer 4.5 (without obvious problems), followed everything that Flip has suggested – but I still have the same problems. I’d also appreciate anything anyone can do to can help!!!
