I've been trying to install nodejs but it always errors. I googled and searched for all the potential ways and I also clean the system with Ccleaner and deleted the temp file and tried to install but it didn't work.

I keep getting this error "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor"

I tried to change the permissions so that everyone has full access but it didn't work either, even after logging out and then retrying after logging in.

Can someone please help me with this?

[EDIT]

I searched through the Temp folder and found this error log. Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action ConfigureEventManifestUnregister, entry: ConfigureEventManifestUnregister, library: C:\Windows\Installer\MSI3A1F.tmp === Logging stopped: 09/06/2017 12:30:29 ===

I hope that helps clear things.

[Another attempt to install via chocolatey] This is my cli output

C:\Windows\System32>choco install nodejs.install

  • Update Windows

  • Install latest Windows Installer for your Windows version

  • Update VisualARQ

  • Install the 32 and 64-bit versions of VC++ Redistributable

  • Clean your Appdata\Local\Temp and make sure you have correct access there

Then, run installer as admin (open cmd in admin mode and run msiexec /i PackName.msi) and if it still fails, check InstallLog.txt for details on the exact .dll that causes the error.

  • If you are getting error while clearing TEMP means its being used. You have stop or close the program which is running or stop the services. Otherwise restart the system. Try to Clear TEMP. Did you try that same Nodejs installer setup in other system. Is it working Fine? Which OS are you using.

  • @TechieGossip I tried to restart the system as well, I am using Windows 10, and I tried to do this with multiple node installers. Even version 8. Doesn't work. I tried to install via chocolatey and yarn, doesn't work either.
