Microstudio Installation Error #0x80040707

[Roy Cooper]

Yes, after the the completed updates, I did reboot my system. And I checked additional times to see that I had zero (0) updates remaining. I have checked the regedt32, under User Shell Folders, and found no problem with the paths there. Checked very carefully character by character on each entry. I followed additional tips recommended in the articles by techrepublic, I changed the exe setup program to run as and unchecked the flag to protect my computer and data, still not successful. And the address to bindview.com/mmsupport was not valid, I am still working on this one.

There was one other deal where you have to delete the entries under the Installshield, but I don't remember exactly where and I will have to research.

It seems I have just about tried everything but the right thing. I have removed every microstudio hit in regedt32, and removed micro technology hits also, removed every hit for microstudio and micro technology on hard drive. Removed the runme.exe.34e933fd.ini, Downloaded again ms4 and even installed it from the web page. I can not get back to a fresh first time install, it still gives me the original information I type in the first time including the registration key. Where is that info coming from? I am begining to wonder if it is something on MTU's site from the registration.

No, this is a Microsoft problem with their Installshield as evidenced by the numerous programs and fixes listed when you search for it. The information with your registration and personal info is a file that is placed so it won't get accidently deleted. The only thing it contains is information to fill in the blanks, so it can't cause this.

Roy, I have about run out of suggestions at the moment. Maybe someone else can suggest something and I will do some more research to see if I can come up with anything.

ddouglas, thanks for anything further you can do. I have been in the office with a guy that has 17 to 20 Microsoft Certifications, he teaches classes for certification, and has a testing center. He is pulling his hair out also and he doesn't have much. Some of the last things I have done. I was logged in as a user with administrator permissions. I logged on as administrator and ran the install, right clicking and running it as both administrator and as unprotected to install programs and data.

[ddouglass]

I hesitate to say it because I don't really trust it but you could try restoring back to before the demo install, re update from Microsoft and then try installing. It is a real pain to have to do that, but is short of complete reload (ugh)

Try installing this .net, and see if it will then work. Here is the FAQ on this, this is just a Guess.
