Начиная с незначительных сторонних инструментов и заканчивая сложными играми и приложениями, одно можно сказать наверняка: вам необходимо установить программу, чтобы использовать ее. В Windows 10 существует множество ошибок установщика Windows, и ошибка «Существует проблема с пакетом установщика Windows» является одной из наиболее устойчивых.
Несмотря на то, что Microsoft хочет, чтобы приложения Windows Metro играли эту роль, стандартные сторонние программы по-прежнему остаются фаворитами. Тем не менее, случайные ошибки установщика Windows действительно сбивают с толку, и вам потребуется некоторое время и усилия для их устранения.
Поэтому, если вы застряли с этой ошибкой и не знаете, как с ней справиться, мы рекомендуем выполнить следующие шаги.
Решение 1. Убедитесь, что у вас есть права администратора
Как вы уже знаете, для установки любого приложения из стороннего источника вам потребуется разрешение администратора. На сегодняшний день это стандартная мера безопасности, присутствующая на всех платформах Windows, и она крайне важна для предотвращения установки сторонних программ в фоновом режиме. В основном, большой знак Стоп для вредоносных программ и вредоносных программ.
Таким образом, вам необходимо войти в систему с учетной записью администратора или иметь разрешение на внесение системных изменений в альтернативную учетную запись. Отсутствие надлежащего разрешения может привести к ошибкам при установке, в том числе той, о которой мы сегодня говорим. Также вы можете попробовать щелкнуть правой кнопкой мыши установщик и запустить его от имени администратора.
С другой стороны, если вы запустили установку от имени администратора и эта неприятная ошибка продолжает появляться, продолжайте устранение неполадок, следуя приведенным ниже инструкциям.
Решение 2. Проверьте установщик и установочные файлы
Существуют различные формы установки для различных приложений. Иногда установка происходит в виде одного сжатого EXE-файла, в то время как, с другой стороны, вы можете иметь множество доступных файлов (например, DLL), сопровождающих установщик. В любом случае, если хотя бы один вспомогательный файл поврежден или не завершен, установка завершится неудачно.
Следовательно, вам необходимо убедиться, что установочные файлы правильно загружены и не подвержены воздействию вируса (или антивируса в этом отношении). Лучший способ преодолеть это — повторно загрузить исходную настройку, отключить антивирус (или добавить исключение) и выполнить установку еще одного снимка. Имейте в виду, что это рискованно, и делайте это только в том случае, если вы уверены, что приложение на 100% надежное и чистое.
Кроме того, убедитесь, что установщик соответствует вашей системной архитектуре. Например, если вы используете Windows 10 с архитектурой x86 (32-разрядная версия), вы не сможете запустить установочный пакет x64 (64-разрядная версия).
Решение 3 — Запустите программу установки и удаления устранения неполадок
Большинство инструментов для устранения неполадок уже описаны в Windows 10. Тем не менее, даже несмотря на то, что существует целый ряд специальных средств для устранения неполадок с определенной целью, вам потребуется загружаемый инструмент для устранения проблем, связанных с установкой / удалением. После того, как вы запустите его, программа установки и удаления неполадок будет проверять и устранять ошибки, связанные с установкой. Стоит также упомянуть, что этот инструмент предоставляется Microsoft, поэтому вам не нужно рисковать с помощью подозрительных сторонних решений.
Следуйте приведенным ниже инструкциям, чтобы загрузить и использовать Устранение неполадок при установке и удалении программы:
- Загрузите специализированное средство устранения неполадок здесь.
- Запустите средство устранения неполадок.
- Следуйте инструкциям, пока специалист по устранению неполадок не решит проблему.
- Попробуйте установить проблемную программу еще раз и ищите изменения.
Решение 4. Проверьте установщик Windows на наличие ошибок
В такой сложной системе, как Windows, у вас есть различные сервисы, которые участвуют во всем, что вы делаете. MSI Engine Foundation отвечает за установку, обслуживание и удаление сторонних программ. Вам не нужно быть техническим энтузиастом, чтобы понять, куда это идет. Если движок MSI (установщик Windows) не работает, поврежден или отключен по ошибке, вам будет сложно установить что-либо.
Во-первых, давайте удостоверимся, что установщик Windows работает так, как задумано.
- Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши меню « Пуск» и в меню «Питание» выберите « Командная строка» («Администратор»).
- Введите следующую команду в командной строке и нажмите Enter:
- MSIExec
- Если все в порядке, вы увидите всплывающее окно с информацией об установщике Windows.
- Если вы видите сообщение об ошибке, вам необходимо перерегистрировать установщик Windows.
Решение 5 — Перерегистрировать установщик Windows
Как вы, возможно, знаете, невозможно переустановить встроенные функции Windows. Вы вряд ли сможете что-либо сделать в отношении расширенных функций и сервисов системы. Тем не менее, вы можете перезапустить большинство из них, используя несколько продвинутых решений. При неправильном использовании эти обходные пути могут привести к большим неприятностям, поэтому действуйте с осторожностью. Это, конечно, включает и установщик Windows. Итак, если вы столкнулись с ошибкой после предыдущего шага, обязательно внимательно следуйте этим инструкциям, и мы должны быть готовы
- Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши «Пуск» и выберите « Командная строка» («Администратор»).
- В командной строке введите следующие команды и нажмите Enter после каждого:
- msiexec.exe / отменить регистрацию
- msiexec.exe / regserver
- Закройте командную строку и найдите изменения. Если проблема все еще существует, перейдите к шагу 4.
- В поиске Windows введите Services.msc и нажмите Enter.
- Найдите установщик Windows. Это должно быть внизу списка.
- Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши службу установщика Windows и остановите ее.
- Снова щелкните правой кнопкой мыши и выберите «Пуск».
- Перезагрузите компьютер.
Этого должно быть достаточно, чтобы избавить вас от ошибки установки «Есть проблема с этим пакетом установщика Windows». Если у вас есть альтернативное решение или вопрос относительно представленных решений, обязательно сообщите нам об этом в разделе комментариев ниже.

Ошибка 1723 — как исправить
Ошибка 1723. Произошла ошибка пакета установщика Windows. Библиотеки DLL необходимые для завершения этой процедуры не может быть запущен.
Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
Решение довольно простое:
Обычно причиной ошибки 1723 является отсутствие прав локального пользователя на папку временных файлов Temp. Такое случается, если папка переносилась на новое место или по другим причинам.
1. Отыскиваем её. В профиле пользователя (если это Win7,8,10 или Win 2008,2012), например c:UsersSlavaAppDataLocalTemp или другой путь, если вы его назначили в свойствах системы >> дополнительных параметрах системы >> переменные среды.
2. Удаляем всё лишнее, что удаляется. Не бойтесь, ничего важного в ней не хранится.
3. Переходим в свойства этой папки, далее вкладка Безопасность и назначаем локальному пользователю (в моём примере Slava) полные права.

There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package [closed]
Want to improve this question? Update the question so it’s on-topic for Stack Overflow.
I need help with this. It started with me trying to update Java & when I tried this is the message I got: «ERROR 1723: There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.»
I’ve already tried deleting Java 6 update 14, but it won’t allow me to, oddly enough I get the same message. What can I do?
6 Answers 6
Have a look at this post for additional information about solving this issue.
Update:
Here is the brief summary of the original Problems with Java installation discussion.
Sometimes, when you attempt to run the java installer file you receive the message:
When you click Yes to the above question you receive the error:
This problem is caused because the Windows Installer information for a previous installation of Java has been removed or damaged, but the related registry keys are still present causing the Java installer to think it is already installed.
To fix this issue you should do the following:
I had the 1723 problem (Windows 7) when attempting to uninstall JRE 6.30. I don’t think the version matters for this error. I believe it is caused by having multiple version of Java installed at the same time. When uninstalling one of them it removes some file needed to uninstall the other versions and you are left in a state where you can’t reinstall or uninstall the JRE. I used the Microsoft FixIt tool [stand alone download here]. I created the portable fixit and then ran on my local machine. The tool has a list of fixes and you need to find «Fix problems with programs that can’t be installed or uninstalled» and click «Run Now». The wizard is self-explanatory and after running will show something similar to this:
Once you see this, double check your control panel that the JRE was actually uninstalled (and attempt to install if desired).
I guess this should be asked in superuser.com but I don’t have enough reputation to move it.
Anyway, the installation package comes as a msi file, correct? If so you can try to run msiexec with log enabled.
I had a similar problem on my Windows 7 box where I was trying to uninstall Java and do a clean install of a newer version. Something got messed up and I would get the 1723 error message during the uninstall and attempted reinstall. Here’s information about how I was able to fix the problem, and maybe this will help you:
Look at the log files for the uninstall/reinstall. On Windows 7 they can be found at c:usersusernameAppDataLocalTemp
The java_install.log didn’t show any extra information, but I had several MSI##### log files that contained error messages about the failed uninstall. The message was: Error 1723.There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action UninstallJRE, entry: MSIUninstallJRE, library: C:Program FilesJavajre6binregutils.dll
There was indeed no regutils.dll file, and not even the bin directory was there. So I copied over a regutils.dll file from another computer, ran the uninstaller, and it worked. Then the new clean install of Java also worked.
So take a look at your logfiles and hopefully that will give you more detailed information about the 1723 error.

Symptoms
When updating or installing iTunes for Windows, you may receive one of the following error messages:
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
Resolutions
The most common cause of the errors is an out-of-date or damaged version of Apple Software Update for Windows on the PC. If that’s what is afoot, updating or repairing your Apple Software Update for Windows should get you past the errors.
First, check to see if your Apple Software Update for Windows is up to date
In Apple Software Update, check to see if you are being offered a new version of Apple Software Update. If there’s a new version of Apple Software Update showing in the list of available updates, select the Apple Software Update update and deselect any other software that may also be being offered to you at the same time. Now install the new version of Apple Software Update.
If the new version of Apple Software Update for Windows installs properly, now try another iTunes for Windows update or install.
If Apple Software Update does not appear under «All Programs» or no newer version of Apple Software Update appears in Apple Software Update, do a repair install of your Apple Software Update for Windows
First, restart your PC.
If the repair install goes through properly, now try another iTunes for Windows update or install.
Note: a very similar error message during iTunes for Windows installs requires a different resolution
If you receive the following very-similar error message:
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
. instead apply the procedure from the Resolution section of the following user tip:

There’s nothing to worry about — in this guide, you will learn how to fix this error even if you’re not tech-savvy.
Causes of the “There is a problem with this Windows installer package” error
Even though there’s no single sure cause of this error, most users have reported the following as the leading cause of installer package error:
- You have an outdated or damaged installer file. You might be trying to install an application with an old or corrupted installer file. This doesn’t allow the app to install properly, causing the error.
- You downloaded the wrong package. Some systems are 32-bit, while others are 64-bit. You need to make sure to download the right bit version of the installer package in order to match your system’s bit version.
- Your computer doesn’t meet the minimum requirements. Some applications may return the “There is a problem with this Windows installer package” error if your computer doesn’t meet the minimum system requirements to run the app.
- Your Windows is not updated. Many issues can arise from an outdated system. Some users reported that updating Windows fixed this error.
- You don’t have full access to the installation folder. Permissions are very important when operating a PC. It’s possible that you chose an installation directory that you don’t have full access to, meaning that the installer can’t create necessary files to finish the install process.
Fixed “There is a problem with this Windows installer package”
After identifying the possible causes, you can begin troubleshooting. There are various methods you can try.
Method 1: Make sure you have administrative permissions
If you lack the appropriate permissions to install applications, you can easily run into the error of this article. If you’re using a public or work computer, this is normal — you’re most likely not an administrator. Make sure to contact the administrator and ask them for help.
However, if this issue occurs on your personal device, here’s what you can do to give yourself administrator permissions.
- Click on the Windows icon in your taskbar and select Settings.
- Click on Accounts.
- Choose Family & other users from the menu on the left.
- Select your account, then click on Change account type.
- Choose the Administrator option from the drop-down menu and click OK.
- Locate the installer file then right-click on it and choose Run as administrator.
Method 2: Use the Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter
Microsoft has a free to download troubleshooter that aims to help with installation issues. Here’s how you can get it.
- Navigate to this Microsoft website and click on the Download button.
- Launch the file you just downloaded.
- Click Next, then choose Installing.
- Select the application you want to install or choose Not listed and browse your computer manually to locate the installer file.
- Wait for the troubleshooter to identify issues and help you install the application.
Please note that the Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter isn’t perfect and might not be able to identify an issue. In this case, we recommend you attempt our other methods listed on this page to get rid of the error.
Method 3: Repair the software
There’s a possibility that the application you’re trying to update can’t install because it’s corrupted. When this happens, simply repair the app using these steps.
- Click on the Windows icon in your taskbar and select Settings.
- Click on Apps and wait for your system to load your installed applications.
- Select the problematic application and click on Modify.
- Choose the Repair option and follow the on-screen instructions to repair the application.
- Try installing now to see if the error still appears.
Method 4: Re-register Windows Installer
The Windows Installer is a key component for installing applications on your device. While you can’t simply repair or uninstall it like other apps, you can use the command prompt to re-register it and possibly fix related issues.
- Press the Windows + R keys on your computer at the same time to open Run.
- Type in “cmd” and hit the Ctrl + Shift + Enter keys at the same time. This will launch the Command Prompt with Administrator permissions.
- Input the following commands, pressing Enter after each line:
- msiexec.exe /unregister
- msiexec.exe /regserver
- Close the Command Prompt and check if the installer runs properly.
Method 5: Restart the Windows Installer service
If re-registering Windows Installer didn’t work, try restarting the service. This will give your computer a chance to properly restart the service. To do that, follow the next steps.
- Press the Windows + R keys on your computer at the same time to open Run.
- Type in “services.msc” and click on the OK button. This is going to launch Services, which should display every available service on your computer.
- Locate the Windows Installer service, then right-click on it and choose Stop.
- Wait a minute, then right-click Windows Installer and choose Start.
- Restart your computer and attempt the installation again.
Hopefully, one of our methods was able to get rid of the “There is a problem with this Windows installer package” issue on your computer. Enjoy installing your apps smoothly.
