Errors 1904 followed by 101

Back when MSAS first came out, I had an Error 1904 on installation and an
error 101 when I attempted to run MSAS on one of the five installations that
I did. Other people also had the error and there was a lot of discussion
and suggestions in the newsgroup.

I tried ALL the suggested solutions to get MSAS to install on the computer.
With no luck. I eventually gave up and uninstalled MSAS including the files
the uninstall program misses.

I had hoped that build 509 would fix the problem. It does not.

The initial installation and upgrade worked on the other four systems.

Is there a way of submitting a real "bug/issue report" to the developers on
this problem with backup data and logs?

Bill Rankin

The known issues section of the help in build .509 has the standard
prescription for what do do about 101 errors.

Can you verify that doing a change, update, still doesn't fix this on this
particular machine?

The level of interaction you're looking for just isn't possible with the
public beta. You can bet that given the number of folks out here reporting
these errors, they are not having trouble replicating them.

I installed MSAS on 10 machines and I have the same
problem on one machine. I tried everything I could but I
have always the same problem as discribed from Bill-R.
See also my mail from the same day at 12:02 for more
information.

Bill,

I do not know what you mean by verify.

I tried to install build 509 and got exactly the same results I got with
501. The attempt to update also failed. The 101 error is not really the
problem. The real problem is that MSAS never completes the install. During
installation (and Update) I get the following error:

Error 1904 Module C:\Windows\System 32\hashlib.dll failed to register.
HResult - 2147220473.
Contact your support personnel.

That is, all install attempts fail and an attempt to use MSAS results in the
expected 101. This was on the system with 501 uninstalled. I tried several
accounts on this system.

I am of two opinions (that means I have no real evidence):

1. that the problem involves the configuration of options of the two active
administrator-level user accounts on this system (not counting the
administrator account). The argument against this opinion is I have MSAS
installed on a different system with three user accounts and do not have a
problem.

2. that the uninstall program has not removed something that is blocking
the reinstall. I uninstalled, rebooted, then removed all the MSAS files
that uninstall did not remove. That did not help, but there may be more
files I missed.

Hopefully this issue is being worked,
Bill Rankin

Bill--it isn't clear from your message whether you tried the update route,
rather than remove and reinstall.

However, rather than mess with this further, I'd recommend the following:

Send an email to as-beta@microsoft.com

Jeff Dillon is looking into the 103/110 errors, and is interested in the
errors.log files from such systems. I'm not sure he wants those files
immediately, but if your file is small, you might zip it up and add it to
the email.

Yes, I tried update on a partial installation and it failed with a 1904
error without completing the update. Essentially it acted the same for both
an install and an update. It failed to install.

However, I went back and looked at the Windows\System 32 folder and the
hashlib.dll file was still there from an earlier install I attempted on 20
Mar. I deleted it and tried again. This time I got a good install for one
user.

Now I am only getting the 101 error for the other user on the system. Isn't
this a known error for computers with multiple users?

That's useful information--thanks. Surely the installer should be able to
replace that file, rather than just giving up in disgust.

I'd go ahead and send email, mentioning that you only get the error in the
multi-user context. I don't know the breadth of what Jeff Dillon is looking
for.

Bill,

My only guess is that the installation is configured not to replace existing
files. For your info, there are at least four system32 files that are not
uninstalled: GCCollection.dll, gcTypLibA.tbl, gcUnCompress.dll and
hashlib.dll.

I sent Jeff a more coherent version of the Issue and the errors.log file as
you suggested.

Thanks
Bill

Thanks. There are enough installer issues seen that I hope a thorough rev
is happening in that area of the product.

Bill,

Build 1.0.614 does not correct the 1904 error. The message is "Error 1904
Module C:/Windows/.../hashlib.dll failed to register. HResult 2147220473"

It looks as if a rev for the installer area did not happen.
