Rhino 7 installation fails rhino.msi -2417023293

Hi @scottd,
thanks for getting back to me.

I’m sorry I should have mentionend in the original post I tried that article, but it did not help me resolve the problem.

Steps I took to get it working:

  • Check for Windows updates -> all up to date
  • Install the windows installer fix tool as described in this post: Rhino 6 update/install error rhino.msi: -2147023293 [SOLVED] . -> This could not recognize the rhino 7 installer.
  • De-Install my old installation of the Rhino 7 WIP, as i assumed the installer might get confused by it. -> Still did not work
  • finally: Out of a hunch, Disabled the option for the english language pack in the installer -> Rhino 7 installed successfully and works as expected, though I typically don’t use the default german language pack normally.

The takeaway for me is, that the error message and also the solutions found here on the forum did not help to find what seems to have actually caused the error on installation. Maybe there is some info in the log, that can help supply a more fitting error message.
