More 1904 Install Errors

[Guest]

Hello Folks,

I have a PC that is free of malware, and that was running an earlier verion
of MSAS. This version was removed earlier, and I'm now having what appears to
be a common problem of Error 1904 during the reinstall. It appears to be an
account change issue, as this PC has been moved from one AD domain to
another, so the original installation account is no longer available.

I'm logging on as the local Administrator. I've run sfc and the registry
cleaners, and Spy Sweeper reports no other malware on the system. After all
of this, I still get the 1904 errors. Is there a solution?


Thanks,

Andy Williams

Hello Andy;

- Go to control panel "add/remove programs and uninstall MSAS

- Open Windows Explorer and go to Program Files/ Microsoft Antispyware
delete all folders.

- Download CCleaner www.ccleaner.com, clean both files and
issues(registry), note that you can exlude removals. CCleaner is a
safe, just in case.

- Download Windows Defender again, do NOT run it, save the setup file to
desktop.

- After downloading start setup again.

Try a round with Ewido which is a "state of the art" malware cleaner.

What antivirus program are you using nºw ?

This can also be a clean up problem with installers and look at this:

Hello Engel,

I followed your instructions exactly, and the results were the same - I
still cannot install MSAS on this PC. I ran ccleaner, and it removed a number
of invalid registry entries, including some from MSAS. I ran ewido, and it
cleaned a few cookies, but nothing else. The msicleaner did not find anything
MSAS-related to remove.

The problem is that there are hundreds of registry keys created by MSAS when
it was installed under a no-longer existing Administrative user account. All
of these keys no longer have a valid owner, which prevents any other
Administrator account from easily deleting or updating them. There are far
too many to manually change permissions on all of the keys and subkeys
manually.

This is a major screw-up caused by the way MSAS modified the registry key
permissions during the initial install. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Andy Williams

Hi Andy;

Sorry to read your results, at this moment I don't have other soluttion,

I have the same problem
I can't install/uninstall it

I installed a new HD and cloned the other drive where I first installed MSAS

It refuses to work and I did all that you can do with regcleaners/etc
It just has put something somewhere that just refuses me to put a new copy
or remove this one
Someone has to have some 'cleaner' so that a user can start over with this
time
I made a new admin to try to trick it but it just refuses to work
I put the old hard drive in and it ran and updated fine
The cloned drive can't be updated nor reinstalled using the latest
installer.
I have been screwed for 6 months or more with this problem
