Prosave V7.4 SP4 Installation Issue - Windows 7

Dear Simon,

The error "unable to open Windows Installer 3.1" typically indicates a problem with your Windows Installer service or a corrupted installation file. Here's a troubleshooting approach:

  1. Verify Windows Installer Service: Ensure the Windows Installer service is running. Type "services.msc" in the Windows search bar, locate "Windows Installer", and confirm its status is "Running". If not, start the service.
  2. Re-download Prosave: A corrupted download can cause this. Re-download Prosave V7.4 SP4 from SiePortal.
  3. Repair Windows Installer: Run the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter: Microsoft Support - Fix problems with programs
  4. Compatibility Mode: Try running the installer in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3.

Regarding your MP270 backup/restore: Yes, Prosave V7 should be compatible for backing up and restoring programs for the MP270. Having an older version like V7 available is beneficial for this purpose.

If issues persist after these steps, please provide more details about any error messages and the exact point where the installation fails.

Sincerely,
Siemens Self Support
