Program Installations Fail and "Rollback"


Recommended Posts

I have tried to install two new items of hardware (an HP Scanner and a Logitech USB keyboard) on my son's XP computer. During both installations, the software goes through the installation procedure until the point of "registering" and then does a "rollback" and does not complete installation. I have never had this problem before. Anyone have any ideas on what causes this?

Welcome to the Windows Forum.

Try to shut down or disable antivirus and antispyware softwares; these can sometimes interfere with other installations.

Also check the Event Viewer (eventvwr.exe; Application Log) for the time of the installation attempts - there may be information in there.

There may also be installation logs, possibly in the temp folder; but these could be difficult to locate.

Finally check the manufacturers' support web sites; there may be Knowledge Base articles on the error symptoms.

But do not hesitate to post back if all fails, or anything above is unclear.
