Description:
------------
Installaing PHP V 5.2 from the msi installation file terminated prematurely with a message "A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel etc". This is followed a a final installation wizard page informing that the process terminated prematurely and didn't complete

I uninstalled php and repeated the installation many times, each time getting the same message irrespective of what ever flavour of IIS I selected form the early installation option

regards

Colin


Expected result:
----------------
Expectation is a clean installation of php

Which mirror did you use to download PHP?

[2006-12-02 07:23 UTC] kemputer at optushome dot com dot au

I used AusGamers on http://au2.php.net/distributions/php-5.2.0-win32-installer.msi

I had tried Planet Mirror au.php.net but the download hung on 40Kb.

Do you get the same error if you choose not configure a web server?

[2006-12-08 23:38 UTC] kemputer at optushome dot com dot au

If I install the php msi kit without configuring a server, there is no error. Installation appears to be clean.

(Sorry, for the delay in replying, I was away from my office)

Could you run it in verbose logging mode and attach the log file? To run in verbose logging mode issue the below command from the command prompt ( from the same directory where the install exists ):

msiexec /i php-5.2.0-win32-installer.msi /l*v error.log

I had the same problem when installing on a windows 2003 server with IIS 6. I ran the installation with the log option. The error.log is 498kb. Where can I drop it.

E-mail the error log to jmertic@php.net.

[2006-12-21 13:21 UTC] jmertic@php.net

Can you try to run the following command from the command prompt and let me know the results:

I forgot this was already fixed by Bug #39410 in CVS. 

Thanks for all your feedback!

I note that this submission is now flagged as closed, however the problem is very real to me.

As requested, I have produced an error.log.

How do I upload it? 
If I cut and paste to the comment area, I get a warning about not spamming the site.

Seasons Greetings to all
