@vaidyaanand Thanks for reporting! That is actually an interesting list of registry entries. Would you also be able to create an installation log with

msiexec /i <filename>.msi /l*v InstallLog.txt

and share it here? Thanks!

[vaidyaanand]

InstallLog.txt
Please check my install logs

[vaidyaanand]

@joaocgreis I have uploaded the logs please check it.

InstallLog.txt

All above pasted errors are from this log file

[vaidyaanand]

@joaocgreis Did you find any solution ?

[joaocgreis]

@vaidyaanand can you run

LODCTR /S:lodctr_backup_20160921.ini

and share the resulting file here?

[vaidyaanand]

I have resolved my Issue by just marking "performance counters" (inside installation setup) to "install this feature when require" during installation.

[joaocgreis]

@vaidyaanand that works, if you don't need performance counters. I'd like to try to fix this issue on the Node MSI so it would help all users, if you could still share that file it would be a big help. Thanks!

[vaidyaanand]

@joaocgreis I have already download node.js and run following commands :
Type “C:” without the quotation marks and Enter.
Type “CD\windows\system32” without the quotation marks and Enter.
Type “LodCtr.exe /S:Backup_Original.INI” without the quotation marks and Enter.
Note: This let’s you backup the performance counters before we rebuild.
Type “LodCtr.exe /R:PerfStringBackup.INI” without the quotation marks and Enter.

Would this affect my result ?
if not I will share that file.

[joaocgreis]

@vaidyaanand Can you share C:\windows\system32\Backup_Original.INI? That seems to be exactly what I need to get a repro for this!

[vaidyaanand]

Sure !
@joaocgreis Please check file
Backup_Original.txt

[joaocgreis]

@vaidyaanand thanks! I still can't repro this issue, but I might be getting closer to a fix. I believe this can be closed now, but we can reopen if the problem persists. Thanks again for your help!

[cheanss]

I have same problem.
Plantform: WIN7 32bit
Nodejs installer version: node-v6.10.0-x86.msi

And here is install log file.

@cheanss @vaidyaanand

@fwp728 Hi
I was having the same trouble with my Node.JS installer . It is not issue that the installer has just need to change some settings. I did the below steps.

1 - Clean TEMP Folder
2 - Disable your antivirus for 10 mins or so.
3 - Then do the below steps.
4 - Go to C:>users>"UserName">AppData>Local>Temp
5 - Right Click on Temp and go to Properties
6 - Select Security Tab
7 - Select the User and check the permission and controll give the user full control by Checking Full Control on permission
8 - Go Ahead and Install Node.js and Enjoy.

[georgegach]

Just disabling antivirus fixed it for me.
