I may have botched my windows xp pc when I was using TweakUI. I was
using the special folders option and I thought I was moving my
favorites folder, but after I applied the tweak I discovered it was the
installation path. Now my windows installer won't work. I'm not 100%
positive they are linked, but that is the only change I made that I
thought would affect this. I don't know what the default install path
should be.
Anytime I try to install any *.msi package I always get the following
error:
This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package
exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to
verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package.
I have tried the suggested fixes on these websites with no success:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555175/en-us
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295823/en-ca
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=319624
The service is running and set to manual. I have downloaded and
installed 3.1.
I have tried the clean-up utility and it errors out with the message:
Error 1324: The folder path 'Program Files' contains an invalid
character. - Which it does not.
I have also enabled verbose logging, but I am not seeing any logs in
C:\Temp
Any other suggestions would be highly appreciated, because I can't
install anything with an msi package like Opera 9!
Thank in advance
