From the NodeJs website I have downloaded node-v0.12.3-x86.msi to a Windows Vista PC.
It just doesnt install. No error appears. I tried restarting. I even Googled it a million times.
Anyone know how to install NodeJS?
Peace and love to you all.
The file might be blocked because it was downloaded from the Internet. On Windows Vista if you attempt to install a blocked MSI file, the file is not installed and no error is reported. Unblock the file by:
Right click on the file and click Properties.
In the properties dialog click Unblock.
Close the dialog.
Install the file.
If that doesn't work try installing with diagnostic logging from the command line using msiexec:
msiexec /l*v Desktop\Install.log /I Desktop\node-v0.12.3-x86.msi
Note: This assumes you are running the command from your user directory: C:\Users\<your name>.

I installed node.js to work on a discord bot with VSCode but it didn't work.
I reinstalled it but ticked the 'install chocolatey' box this time, halfway through the installation I got 3 trojan alerts from my AV, and cancelled the installation.
Since then, I have been unable to uninstall, repair or reinstall Node.JS, through the Windows 10 uninstall function or from the Node.JS .msi file.
Each time I try, I get the same error message:
"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed."
I've removed all instances of Node.JS from my program files and %appdata%, I've ensure the Installer Service is running, and yet the Node.JS application still shows in the Uninstall Tool and when I try to uninstall / modify / reinstall, it shows the same error, and seems to think it's still installed on my system! Not even Node.JS commands work in my CMD!
I've got no idea how to fix this, and I don't want to use glitch anymore to write my bot, so please help- or it seem's I'll have to factory reset my PC and hope that resolves the issue.
Thanks in advance, guys.
Godspeed.
EDIT: I tried installing a newer version hoping it would overwrite old Node.JS files. Didn't work. Issue still occurring.
Do these:
Open command prompt as Administrator and run /sfc scannow. It will scan and replace corrupted files.
Restart your PC when the scan is done.
I was trying to install Node.js node-v14.15.1-x64 on PC with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit OS, but then I found that the problem appears with any .exe and .msi
If I'm trying to run installer with/without administrator, I got only endless blue loading circle icon on my screen without any error report or process in Task manager:
Hanged icon with cursor arrow does not disappears, even if I will wait for a hour, to stop it, I've to restart computer
I've followed Stein Åsmul answer, which I'm forced keep unmarked, because it seems like nothing helps yet:
I've re-download installation media but now I see that this happens happens to all installers.
I've tried turn off Windows Defender Firewall and Security Antivirus.
with C:\WINDOWS\system32>sfc /scannow Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/.exe value is exefile, and exefile folder value is Application, I have tried to change it with "%1"%*
in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion in ProgrmFilesDir value is C:\Program Files and in ProgramFiles Dir (x86) is C:\Program Files (x86)
With attempt to C:\WINDOWS\system32>assoc .exe=exefile something also went wrong here, because OS freeze, and I was forced to reboot
C:\WINDOWS\system32>msiexec.exe /i :\Users\User\Desktop\New folder (1)\pycharm-community-2020.2.3.exe /L*v C:\Your.log opens Windows Installers, which describes Display, Install, Restart and Logging Options, but I'm not sure, how to use it, to find out with this issue
Solution:
After removing AVScanner.ini form C:\ directory problem disappeared and installation works fine
Also I have to note, that I will mark answer by Stein Åsmul because I found it useful in similar possible situation, even if it was not solution in this particular case
Any advice, guide or example would be helpful
Overall: Do you have a screenshot? That almost sounds like a Windows Smartscreen issue?
Here are some generic setup.exe debugging suggestions:
Shortened setup.exe problem list
Long setup.exe problem list.
Specific Suggestions: 1) Re-download the installation media first of all. 2) Then reboot and disable anti-virus scanners and try to install. 3) You should also enable logging and look at the log for clues. 4) Try to install as a different admin users. 5) Finally test on a virtual or another machine to verify the integrity of the setup file.
Quick Logging:

Node.js - Cannot Install it is showing an error because of .msi
I need help reinstalling node.js but I keep this error when I uninstall the previous node
The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.
This can occur if you are running Windows in Safe mode or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed
I then try reinstalling msiexec.exe to see if I can fix the error in the windows installer but this popped up
ren msi.dll msi.old
ren msiexec.exe msiexec.old
bash: cd: %windir%system32: No such file or directory
The window installer service is running I check and I try using other packages like chocolatey but I still get the error (Generic MSI error).
As a last resort, I deleted the node folder from the program file but that didn't work. please I need help saving this
I got the error too
This is how i solved it
1-) I ran your command line as administrator then
2-) I typed sfc /scannow in cmd and entered
I fixed this by downloading the latest nodejs zip file and then edit the environment variable by adding C:\Programs Files\nodejs.Note: add the content of the zip file to C:\Programs Files\nodejs Thanks
Try running the installer as an admin.
Run command prompt as administrator and type in this code sfc /scannow the wait for it to finish repairs and try again
In my linux machine, I'm trying to send a file over to a Windows machine via:
scp fileNameA user#windowServer:fileNameA
I get the following message:
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
What's prompting this message?
I've installed OpenSSH on the windows machine, and I can successfully SSH into it. I don't want to use WinSCP, FileZilla, etc, because I have to automate this in a script. This has to be done from the Linux machine, so I'm not interested in doing pscp from the Windows machine.
I have met the same problem today.
I think it is an issue in the new version of OpenSSH, which was published few days ago. I reverted previous version (v7.6.1.0p1-Beta), which was working correctly on my VM from https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/releases and problem was fixed without any changes in configuration.
I just fixed the same problem by moving my installation of OpenSSH from C:\Program Files\OpenSSH to C:\OpenSSH.
I had to first uninstall it properly using the provided script in Win32-OpenSSH and then follow back the information provided there https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/wiki/Install-Win32-OpenSSH but only changing the path to C:\OpenSSH.
I met a similar issue today, trying to copy files to a Windows server running OpenSSH-Win64. I solved the problem by adding C:\Program Files\OpenSSH, which is the recommended installation location, to the Windows path:
Open the Control Panel, go to the System and Security section and open up System.
Click on Advanced System Settings and, in the System Properties dialog box, click Environmental Variables.
In the System Variables section of the dialog box, select Path and click Edit....
Click New, add the OpenSSH folder path and click OK to apply the change.
Then, do not forget to restart the OpenSSH service, either in the service management console or by running net stop sshd, followed by net start sshd in an elevated console.
I built an installation ine installshield express, and it works fine on windows 7 and windows 10. But for some reason it is not installing all of the files on windows 8.1. There is also a registry entry, which is not being written. I have checked the permissions and no issues there. Any point in the right direction would be appreciated.
Since there is no error in installation, let's assume installation is successful. If it is 64 bit, Check in Wow64 subsystem in registry. for files, search in C:\Program files(X86).
Check event viewer (eventvwr) for error messages if any.
Check for UAC status and Windows Event Viewer(eventvwr) for error logs
