Microstudio Installation Error #0x80040707

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.

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.

D Douglass, Thanks for your last tip, I tried the new .net update to no avail. I went through all the processes, and the repair, and tried once again to install, received the same error. I am going to try the repair option on XP install disk, I will let you know how it turns out.

Thanks for you continued help,
Roy Cooper

Here's an interesting article on repairing XP.

Should be a cakewalk for your certification teacher friend.

D Douglass, well I have been through a lot, since we last communicated. I tried the rebuild, I won't go through all the details, did not work for me, created a lot of other issues with the OS. Could not do updates from MS, finanily reinstalled the OS (XP Pro) just to be safe, I wiped out the disk and reformatted, after all the updates, I installed Microstudio, it did not work for me until I connected my laptop to the internet, I was using a memory stick and going to another computer. The only problem I have discovered is I can not get the video to work on my TV. First time to ever use the video on a computer. Not sure whether it is hardware or software.

Thanks Roy

Roy, what do you see when you open the display settings? do you see two monitors or one?
Tell me what you have tried so far to get the video to TV. Also, what kind of video card do you have?
