Invalid Windows Installer Package (7.4)

Sydney's Mom · 01-15-2011, 12:26 PM

I get the following error message trying to install 7.4. I rebooted, but still get the error message.

Windows Installer

The installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.

Never had this problem before. But my current version works fine, so this can wait for the next upgrade (next week). Enjoy your weekend!

You should download it again, sometimes installer packages get corrupted in the download.

I have tried 4 times to download - twice before reboot and twice after. I clear my temporary files and try again.

Hmm then just wait for the release next week

Thanks, Kovid. Operator error - installed.

Deleting temporary files and history did the trick.
