Vista Windows MSI installer not workihttp://www.tweaking.com/forung after repair

Hi,
I ran Tweaking AOI Pro latest version on Vista familiale premium (I don't know how MS retranslates this into English) twice.
Due to the cleaning and tweaking the system seems to run more rapidly  :cheesy:

But I still experience the errors that made me use Tweaking Pro:
- no restauration point
- MSI not working
- no audio.

I guess I should send you the logs, but have no idea where to find them.

Regards

Do you have an icon of windows repair on your desktop? If so right click and say open file location you should be able to see a folder that says logs.😉

Willy2:
- Regarding "System Restore Points" (that's the official name):  Did you run among others "Repair Volume Shadow Copy" ? Did you run "Beta Repairs" ?
- When the repairs have run you'll find under the "Log" screen/tab a button to open the folder with the logs. I am interested in which repairs you ran. Do post the logs.

- Another question: Did you run "Repair Internet Explorer" ? And did it delete the content temporary internet files folders ? I noticed that you're on a non-english system and then those files won't be deleted at all. Then Windows Repair doesn't use a system variable to do that job but it's "hardcoded".
- The problems you came across could be language related. Some repairs didn't work (past tense) on a non-english system. I've seen that more than once with this program.
- Vista had (and perhaps still has (???)) some problems when it comes to registering files (with REGSVR32). See this text from the "changelog":

Quote:
"v3.81.
Fixed a very odd bug in Windows Vista when a user ran the register system files and no other repairs. This bug would cause VSS to break and thus system restore or windows backup would stop as well. But if you ran all the repairs and ran the Repair Volume Shadow Copy it would fix it. .......................... ".

Hi,

Thanks for the location of log files.

In fact, I did all the steps, optional as well as compulsory ones, and I did the repair twice, as demanded, on a Windows Family Premium pc in safe mode.

There are 15 log files. I only include the 2nd repair. Is this all you need ?

Thanks in advance

Willy2:
- Do you use Internet Explorer (some programs also need/use IE) ? If so, then check if the folders that contain the temporary files are empty. I assume you're on an non english version of Vista ?
- Put the logs for the 1st run in one zip file and attach them to your next reply. Go to the folder with the logs of the 2nd run, go up one level and you'll see - at least - (the) 2 folders with logs.

As said before I am interested because Vista has some small issues when it comes to running Windows Repair. Computers are complicated things right ?
