Hi, This is how I overcame this problem.
I. Configured the Windows Installer service to run in safe mode with networking:
II. Created a service which would allow Seagate dashboard services to run in safe mode with networking.
System Configuration:
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
Steps:
1. Boot into Safe Mode with networking.
2. Start >> run. Type "regedit" without qutation marks.
3. Create the following registry key under the following loation. If it doesn't exists then create a new one.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Network\msiserver
4. In the above location right click on Network and create a new key. Name it "msiserver".
This should create a Default value, Right click on "Default" and modify "Value Data" to "Service". Click OK and close the
registry editor.
5. Reboot back into Safe Mode with networking, and the Windows Installer service should now run.
6. If you experience any error like "Error: 1920 Cannot start Dashboard Services. Verifiy you have sufficiant privliges to start
system services." follow next steps.
7. Start >> run and type "services.msc" This should show list of all services. See if you could find "Seagate Dashboard
Services". Copy this
8. Start >> run. Type "regedit" without qutation marks.
9. Create the following registry key under the following location.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Network\Seagate Dashboard Services
10. This should create a Default value, Right click on "Default" and modify "Value Data" to "Service". Click OK and close the registry editor.
11. Reboot back into safe mode with Networking. Now you should be able to install your application.
