All
I have a VS 2005 install set, which when executed seems to run OK however right at the end of the process it responds with the error message:
The source '' is not registered on machine '.' or you do not have write access to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog registry key.
At which point it backs out of the install. The code in the install pack has had some alteration to it, but nothing that I would expect this sort of behaviour for.
Can anyone assist? Has anyone out there come across this situation before?
Kind Regards
Paul J.
The error indicates that the installation cannot create a a logsource in the Windows Eventlog. Does the installing user have Administrator permissions? If you are running Vista or Windows 7 you could try to run the installation with administrative permissions (right-click, run as administrator)

I'm trying to install the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2017 on my computer for Visual Studio 2017 v15.9.5.
I'm using Windows 10 and the version of the universal installer I'm using is 18.3.
Once I download the zip file and unzip all the contents, I then run the 'setup.exe' executable.
Once I run it, it asks for admin privileges and I give them to the installation.
Immediately after that, a console window blinks on the screen and nothing else happens. No other UI shows up and I'm not asked any questions or provided any error messages.
I have restarted my machine and attempted to install with no success.
Any assistance for getting the setup running would be greatly appreciated.
I found the issue.
I was running the executable in a directory so far down the directory tree that all the paths the executable was using were greater than 260 characters in length, which Windows has an issue with.
I'm trying to do that for 3 days. And im tired of that. So wanted to ask you guys.
There is my log file http://codepaste.net/8nxdbb
and its the screen capture of my error.
Your log says:
Could not write value to
key\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper
Objects{432dd630-7e03-4c97-9d62-b99f52df4fc2}. Verify that you have
sufficient access to that key
Make sure your machine is properly elevated to administrator privileges, and disable all antivirus software you are running. Cold restart your machine before making the next installation attempt.
I am using VS2010 on Windows 7 (64 bits). When trying to install "Nuget Package Manager" from VS's "Extension Manager" it fails. The download works, but then I am stuck at the installing progress bar. When looking in Windows' task manager yo can see that the installer keeps on starting up new instances of the "vsixinstaller.exe" process. It goes on and on until the computer ultimately crashes.
The same behaviour occurrs when starting the file "NuGet.Tools.vsix" directly.
I have searched the net for the solution but haven't been able to find anything useful.
I received the same behavior today so I decided to open Process Monitor to investigate.
Guess what...Process Monitor gives the same behavior. Then the light bulb went off... :)
Answer: I previously had administrator privileges on my laptop, but those were removed at the beginning of the new year. For some reason, when these programs use credentials that are not in the administrator group, they recursively call themselves instead of failing, timing out or reporting access denied, etc.
Please ensure that your attempting to update after launching VS as an Administrator.
I will be providing this feedback to the nuget support thread as well.
Fixed by installing Nuget with admin right under SP1.
I found a solution at NuGet Docs Known Issues. Installing the hotfix they recommend even though I have SP1. It includes KB2581019.

Sounds like a UAC issue - you need special permissions to access files in system32.
I built a VS 2005 Setup and Deployment project and i'm able to install the setup without any problems. But, if I reboot my computer, the setup utility is being run again, asking me to install the software again (It already exists). I have not run into this problem before, any help would be greatly apperciated.
Thanks!
Check the Event Log, it will show what missing component/file/whatever is causing the installer to run.
Try enabling Windows Installer Logging and looking at the log files to see what might be failing.
Validate your resulting MSI using Orca, it's available as part of the Windows Installer 4.5 SDK (look for orca.msi in the TOOLS folder)
