Hi

I am trying to install the virtual com port driver VCP_V1.3.1_Setup_x64.exe on a computer running 64-bit windows, however the installer exits after a short while with the error code:

1607: Unable to install InstallShield Scripting Runtime.

I have tried to run installer as administrator and various types of compabillity modes, but with no success. 

 

In order to investigate the problem further I have enabled windows installer debugging, this creates a log like this:

I have searched the internet and found that that the fault code returned by MainEngineThread, 1620 means: 

ERROR_INSTALL_PACKAGE_

INVALID. 

I have googled this fault code, but with no success. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this errors?

Thanks for all help:)

ERROR_INSTALL_PACKAGE_INVALID means corrupted MSI file.

Download it again from the ST’s site,

http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/PF257938

The installer on above link runs on my Win7 (x64) without any error.

Check also if your AV software is interfering with the file(s), and put them in a real directory, not the desktop.

Hi

Thank you:)

Disabling the AV software seemed to do the trick:)
