Problem with Windows Installer Package

Hey,

I’m setting up my Node, and I keep running into this error when I install the Windows GUI

“There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.”

Please Help

Did you re-download the file yet?

Hello @garopu ,
Welcome to the forum!

Please, copy here 20 last lines from the log: How do I check my logs? - Node Operator

I re-downloaded it and it’s giving me the same error

The system cannot access your disk S:
Seems, you specified it with double colon.
Please, uninstall the storagenode, remove "C:\Program Files\Storj" and try to install again, but select a folder on your disk S:\

Getting closer :wink:

do you try to install second node?
or reinstall first one?

i did after the first attemp failed

then go to C:\Program Files\Storj
and delete this folder

ive restored the file ive just deleted it seems to make the problem worse

this is a first setup i haven’t seen my node working yet

it seems that it installed node but cant start it just.
Ok did you restored all files that was deleted?

yes i did ive tried to install the GUI ones more but it gave a different error

Ok delete program files/storj
then open CMD as Administrator
type sc.exe delete storagenode
it should respond that deleted successfully
then you can install it agan

wow it worked it states that im offline at this point is that normal

it solved the problem thank you very much its much appreciated
i wish i could buy you a beer
