Hi,

does anyone know where to find a complete list of returned error codes
for windows update and windows installer?
Part of a list for example is here
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290158
available.
But today i´m looking for error 64 and this is not mentioned in the
list above.

Greetings,
Marcus

Thanks to David Herman and Mow Green for the postings. Good to have
the table for problems in future. According to my problem with error
64 i had a look at
[1] and [2] plus sublinks but i was not able to find anything about
error 64 :-(

The first link provides the information "[...]Windows® Installer
errors have an error code of 1000 or greater[...]". And the error
table mentioned in [3] is from 0 to 33

Anyone an idea about error 64?

Greetings,
Marcus

Marcus,

You're welcome ... have you updated the Windows Installer ? :
Windows Installer 2.0 Redistributable for Windows 95, 98, and ME
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=32831

Before installing the Installer move all the .msi files in the
WINDOWS\Installer folder to a temporary folder. Create one in My
Documents and name it "msi". Then install the Installer. If all goes
well you can move them back and delete the empty "msi" folder.

MowG.
