Hi Jeffrey,
thank you very much for the hint wrt
%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts,
actually, Spybot S&D (a spyware scanner) had modified that file
(redirecting many "evil" hostnames to 127.0.0.1, which seems to be
standard practice with this kind of tools...) - after restoring the
original file, installation went through.
My bad... If necessary, I can still provide the original installation logs.

Hi there,
with the current releases of OpenAFS (1.5.7{2,3}00), MSI installation
fails consistently on my Win 7 machine - I'm using Windows 7 pro, x64,
german.
Installation bombs out when installing the loopback adapter - the last
message is "Could not update hosts file", then a message box pops up,
stating "Installation of Network Provider failed - System error 5".
If you can capture an install log generated using msiexec.exe and
send it to [email protected], that would be appreciated.
The system error is "Permission Denied". Is the installer running under
an Administrator account? What are the permissions on the
%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file?
The 32bit exe installs fine. However, it seems to be unable to read the
CellServDB file, which is definitely not empty, still the AFS control
panel claims that there is no cell configuration.
The 32-bit installer cannot be used on 64-bit Windows. For 64-bit
Windows there are two installers. The full 64-bit installer that
installs the AFS cache manger and related tools and the 32-bit tools
installer that is meant for use with 32-bit applications that link
to OpenAFS libraries (for example, 32-bit KFW).
