Windows installer Error: "Object already exists"

I'm using a Wix Installer to install a application on Windows 7 Pro Machine. But Keep getting the error “Object already exists” during the installation.

The Installer works on other Machines.

This seems to happen with all installers, I tried installing Java, ITunes.

Ok, I found an answer to this problem.

There was a Windows Security Update last month that was related to Windows Installer UAC and Granting Administrator Privileges to the User. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2918614

It’s been causing some problems with Installer. http://ccmexec.com/2014/09/kb2918614-windows-installer-triggers-uac/

To remove this Update

  1. Control Panel  Add Remove Programs  View Installed Updates
  2. Find and Uninstall KB2918614 from the list of installed updates

There is no way we can answer with the provided information. Please try to update your question with more information.

A good first step is to create a verbose log for the setup:

msiexec.exe /I "C:\Test.msi" /QN /L*V "C:\Temp\msilog.log"

Open the log in notepad and search for "value 3" to find installation errors.

See msifaq.com for more details (logging faq entry).
