I'm trying to install an image editing software called PhotoPlus X2, which
claims to be Vista compatible. However, when I run the setup.exe I get a
Windows installer error 1619. I'm running Vista Business SP1 x86 and I'm
logging in to the desktop with an admin account. Updating the Windows
installer to version 4.5 didn't help. Any thoughts on how to remedy this?

Try the cnews.corel.com groups. I (Vista home premium 64 bit) run it
without any problems. Also google for "Windows install error 1619"

Right click on setup and try "run as administrator".

Can you install other software or is this now a general problem?

Support from Corel? Of course there is always the question if Victek has a
legal version?

Any time Jimbo. You did an excellent job also! (Yea right)

ERROR_INSTALL_PACKAGE_
OPEN_FAILED 1619 This installation package could not be
opened. Verify that the package exists and
that you can access it, or contact the
application vendor to verify that this is
a valid Windows Installer package.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/229683/en-us

I would contact the vendor for another copy of the installation package.

Another potential issue can be caused by permissions as per
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316309

Yes, I have a legal version and I've also contacted them via email. I
thought I'd ask here too, while I'm waiting for a response from them. I
guess it could be a Windows problem, but I've installed many other programs
and this is the first time for this particular error.
