Bug #55514 [NEW]: Can't install PHP 5.2.17. Error code 2738
From:
Operating system: Windows Vista
PHP version: Irrelevant
Package: Unknown/Other Function
Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:Can't install PHP 5.2.17. Error code 2738
Description:
------------
I have seen other bugs categorized as being in the "Windows Installer"
package but I don't have that option in the dropdown menu so I have put it
as "unknown/other"
I am trying to install 5.2.17 because, according to
http://windows.php.net/download/ it is what I need to
use with Apache. (I
don't see a later version for Windows that looks usable) The "PHP version"
drop-down implies I should be using something more recent that 5.2.x but
the Windows download page doesn't give me the options to use something more
current.
I want to install php-5.2.17-Win32-VC6-x86.msi (as opposed to the "nts"
version) because it has the option for Apache 2.2 in the Web Server Setup
options.
If I need to use a more recent version, then the info at
http://windows.php.net/download/ is misleading at
best: "Which version do I
choose? If you are using PHP with Apache 1 or Apache2 from apache.org you
need to use the VC6 versions of PHP"
Here's my situation:
I get most of the way through the installation and I get an error pop-up
saying "the installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this
package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is
2738"
I have done a great deal of searching on this and have found many
references recommending doing some registry changes. This page in
particular seems to explain well what to do:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2007/05/31/windows-installer-errors-2738-and-2739-with-script-custom-actions.aspx
I have done what it recommends yet I still get the error.
The keys mentioned are not in HKCU, which I checked using regedit.
VBScript, B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8 is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
This dll is the one that causes the 2738 error, apparently.
JScript, F414C260-6AC0-11CF-B6D1-00AA00BBBB58 is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, which
I mention because it is referenced in the link I cite above.
I have tried deleting and re-registering the dlls ("regsvr32 vbscript.dll)
and that didn't help.
I have hit a dead end.
Expected result:
----------------
Would like to be able to get php installed on my Vista PC.
Actual result:
--------------
