Whenever I try to install any .msi app to a specific disk I get an error, "An error occured while attempting to create the directory". All other drives work fine. This drive, unlike my other drives wasn't wiped when I reinstalled Windows.This is on Windows 11 pro 23H2 build 22631.3527

Windows Installer Error: This installation package cannot be opened.

Hi AJ,

Thank you for posting in Community.

We are glad to provide the assistance required to help you answer your query.

The above error can occur if the locally cached Windows Installer package (*.msi) file is damaged or corrupted.

To rectify the above, I suggest that you try the steps mentioned below and check if you are able to install the software successfully.

• Open the \Windows\Installer folder on your computer's hard disk.
• Right-click any file with an .msi extension.
• Click Properties on the shortcut menu. The
  Subject box on the Summary tab contains the name of the product that installed the .msi file.
• Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each .msi file in the \Installer folder, and delete the .msi file for the software that you are trying to install.

Hope this helps

 

Unable to install any OS

Hi guys, I'm unable to install any OS. I tried ubuntu and got input/output error, tried installing window 7 error 0x80000010.

Downloaded iso's of both again and again still same result. Got a new SSD still the same, tried a different usb still the same.

I'm fed up, have been trying since the past 1 month still am unable to install.
I've listed my specs in my profile.

PS Have even tried/changed my ram.
Where the pug is the problem ?

I have been using live usb to work on computer for now but I need a permanent OS.

 

Win7 install, setup was unable to create a new sys partiton...

Full error: Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the setup log files for more information.

My drive setup is as follows:

Drive 0 200gb, trying to install win 7 on this one. This was installed into the computer recently.

Drive 1 Total 250GB. Has ubuntu installed
Partition 1 Primary: 140gb, ext3
Partition 2 Logical, 91gb ext3
Partition 3 logical 3.9GB, swap

Both drives are sata, Drive 0 is first to boot from i believe. Anyway, i had an 80gb drive originally that failed, when i removed that I rebuilt grub on ubuntu to just recognize ubuntu and its own drive (drive 1). Thereafter I stuck Drive 0 in, and tried to install Win7 on it, and got the above error. I disconnected my ubuntu drive, and the error is still present. Heading home from work now, but pile on the suggestions. Ill try them tomorrow.
