Error Codes

When I attempt to change my theme/appearance on my pc, I am getting this message  "The visual styles could not be applied. Not enough storage is available to process this command.' I have done a cleanup, a disk cleanup, removed unwanted programs and files. I don't know what else to do in regards to this, please help :)

I wanted to convert the MSI error code to a human readable string and didn't find anything good on the Internet so I thought I would share my solution.  The following code uses the error code from any MSI API function to get the error string from the resource dll associated with MSI.

// example code

// call your MSI API function ... MsiInstallProduct() in this case
DWORD result = MsiInstallProduct(installerFullPath, commandLine);
if (result != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
    CString message;
    message.Format(_T("%s"), GetMessageFromMsiErrCode(result).GetBuffer());
    // .... do whatever with the error message
}

// function to get error message from msimsg.dll resource dll
CString GetMessageFromMsiErrCode(DWORD error)
{
CString message = _T("Unknown error");
HMODULE module = LoadLibraryEx(_T("msimsg.dll"), NULL, LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE);
if (module == NULL) return message;
TCHAR buffer[8192] = _T("");
LoadString(module, error, buffer, sizeof(buffer) / sizeof(TCHAR));
FreeLibrary(module);
message = buffer;
return message;
}

Best regards,

Hi,

Regarding to all the lines i had read tonight, i try to help just saying to All that Microsoft provides scripts by the Microsoft Fix-IT tools délivered to erradicate instalations regarding to Office 2003, Office 2007 and Office 2010 to. The purpose is helping us uninstalling packes without the need of using the embeded tools or add-suppression of programm tools coming with the OS. So, donwloading the correct Fix-It tool makes the Software, application or packages unsinstalled from the système. One it's done, the caches and temporary files of the precedent installation and shrotcuts are retired and All the components deleted.

It let's you redo a proper installation and be sure that when you work around lans, the destinations folders for installers to expands archives are not alwyas local, so this can influence the local OS not to find installation packages, almost if you use to hunt temporary files... In that case, some OS reparation or restauration could help resolving the problems.

Combining embeded maintenance and fix-it tools can make you save time. Till You have the original packages, or Cd's, or DVD's, why don't you simply SHOOT the all install, and let Microsoft Fix-IT for you !

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/ for the Office Fix-IT links. It's the franch page but you know you have the translation menu on the right to change IT in the language you want to read IT.

Good Night and Fix-IT all !

I use outlook 2003, XP w/SP 3.  Intermitently, I cannot release outgoing mail from the "outbox" even after multiple send all commands.  I do not get an error message.   I reloaded Office, I rebuilt my mail user profiles.  I spoke with my ISP, they claim no signal is being sent to them.  When I do a test of the mail profile it always completes without error. 

"The operation has been canceled due to restrictionsin effect on this computer.  Please contact your system Administrator".  This occurs whenever I try to select an underlined website, URL or email address in the Outlook program.  Havwe no idea what was changed to cause such a message? Thanks for your help

When I want to install a game it suddenly appears an error message which says"Installation end prematurely because of a fatal error".What is the error?

When in Outlook 2003, if an item such as a URL or email address or website to visit is underlined, the message comes up " This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator".   I am the only "administrator and I don't know what I changed to get this message.  I am using Windows XP, SP3; Office 2003, occurs in Outlook only. Unable to select any item on screen or enter info where allowed.

bất cứ khi nào tôi thử cài đặt từ microsoft cập nhật, tôi nhận được tin nhắn này và nó cuộn trở lại. Khi tôi thử cài đặt một máy in mới cd tôi nhận được DATA1.MSI là mất tích, xin vui lòng giúp đỡ ..

I have my computer set to check for updates in the middle of the night. I can't count the number of times the Microsoft Office Power Point Viewer failed to update. Daily it shows up as an important update, but always fails. How can I delete that update? I'm not a computer expert, just an ordinary user, so please keep reply simple. It's not an update I really need anyway. Help will be appreciated!

Microsoft Office 2003 suddenly will not launch. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and I keep getting the same message: ex. "Word is not currently installed for this user (we only have one user account). Please run set up to install."

I am trying to get my daughter's MS Office to work again. The original installation was done by the OEM. I have no discs but this is a registered machine and the software has been registered. When Word (2003) is opened I get the following.

Windows Installer
Preparing to install

An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Would you like to repair this feature now?
Click Yes

Windows Installer
Preparing to install

Microsoft Office Word
Microsoft Office Word cannot install the necessary files due to Windows Error 1601

Microsoft Office Word
Microsoft Office Word has not been installed for the current user. Please run setup to install the application.

If I run setup the program will no doubt ask for the key. Since I don't have discs it will be impossible to provide the key. I don't know how to retrieve it from MS either. How can I fix this problem?
