Hello.
Please pardon the cross-post - I posted this on the php.install
newsgroup a couple of days ago, but there has been no activity on that
news group, and I see that other installation issues are posted here.
I have tried to install the following on my Windows Vista Home Premium
System:
php-5.2.3-win32-installer.msi
It has the following md5 sum, taken locally on my system:
4d042f649d9c264477e1b421c64c6435
Installation seemed to go as expected. However, near the end of the
installation process, I received a dialog window titled "PHP 5.2.3
Setup" with only an "OK" button and the following message:
"The installer has encountered an unexpected error
installing this package. This may indicate a problem with
this package. The error code is 2738."
I pressed "OK", my only option, and then got to the page on the setup
wizard with the "Finish" button. I hit the "Finish" button, was met
with a dialog window with just an OK button with the message:
"Fatal error during installation".
It seems that PHP was put on my system, and the path was set up
correctly. Some simple tests indicate it is working, however, since I
am a careful sort, I thought I would try to uninstall and start over.
The trouble is that I can't. I can use the "Repair" option from
ControlPanel->ProgramsAndFeatures->PHP, and it seems to "repair" without
comment, but if I try to uninstall the software, or "Change" it in any
way, I get the same two dialog boxes shown above, and the software does
NOT uninstall. This makes me uneasy.
I would appreciate help with any of the following (roughly in my
priority order):
1. How can I uninstall this and remove it from my system?
2. What is error code 2738 and what does it mean?
3. What steps might I take subsequently to install without
incurring this error?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
