As I mentioned in my previous post, I really wanted to install Microsoft Live Writer on my computer so that I can quickly create some blog posts. However I cannot I am not quite sure what the reason for this is. The installer gives me this as a result of the installation
Most importantly, the installer tells me that it's Done! Then it tells me that actually it had a fatal error during installation and it suggests to close all other programs and to try again (which doesn't help). In addition is says, that it looks like another program is preventing the installer from working. hr:0x80070643. This is the best part; I mean it is just great that I know the code of the error. It seemed to me that it will be easy to find what the problem is after I search the Internetz with this error code but so far I could not find resolution.
Hopefully by the time I write my next blog post (which based on historical data should be in December, 2011) I'll be able to resolve this issue.
P.S. After closing the dialog above, the best part is that I'm greeted with a message "Welcome to Windows Live", "Your new programs are in the Windows Live folder on the Start menu". Hmmm, no they are not :)
Update 1: I noticed that during installation, the Windows Live Messenger would start itself up. I thought maybe the messenger application is the one preventing the installer, so I uninstalled it (I don't use it anyways). After finding how to uninstall it (you have to click uninstall on Windows Live Essentials, there is no separate entry for Live Messenger), I tried installing Live Writer but I encountered the same problem.
Update 2: I was suspecting that maybe my Symantec Endpoint Protection somehow prevents the installer, so I disabled it for few minutes to try to install Live Writer. Again I had no luck and got the same error message.
