Repeatedly attempted to install node-v6.4.0-x64.msi on Win7 machine using command prompt.

msiexec /i C:\Users\Tom\Downloads\node-v6.4.0-x64.msi /L*V example2.log

Previously installed version was v4.4.0 for Node.js and v3.7.3 for npm.

image

When first upgrade attempt was unsucessful, I deleted all files associated w/ Node.js and npm on PC and in PATH.

Installer appears to complete "Copying new files" actions, then immediately begins to rollback the actions and ends by displaying the "Node.js Setup Wizard ended prematurely" error message.

msiexec shows the following "Return value 3." error message. Complete log is attached.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
pogo

so you are indeed installing it from here: https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/ then selecting your system?

I don't have extended experience on windows

Not yet. I'm actually going to see if I can possibly install an older nodejs version that was working previously. If this works, I'll let you know.

suggestions posted over net without luck.
looking forward for help..

Hi guys,

steps to install with out performance counter.

Hi guys,

I do experience exactly the same issue - mine installation log file looks pretty much the same and also the installation process passes without performance counters.

I do use Win 7 64bit and I tried to install node 4.2.1 x64.

Also I believe it is worth mentioning that I have had another version of node installed before (don't remember which one). As my Windows profile was damaged by our system admins I could not properly uninstall the previous version so I just deleted the node/npm related files and removed it from the PATH variable.

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.

Tried all of the above and still does not work.

  1. Had an old installation, so I tried to delete and got the same can't run a dll error.
  2. Deleted nodejs and npm directories from ProGram files and app directories and removed npm from path, node js wasn't there.
  3. Still can't delete.
  4. Reboot still can't delete or in stall, same error message.
  5. Checked Temp permissions, all what they should be.
  6. Still can't uninstall from control panel
  7. Install also bails in the same way.
  8. Command prompt where nodejs or npm says it can't find.
  9. Deleted the registry key for the perflib still does not work

I am running out of ideas, can't find the installed program as all relevant directory items have been deleted and can't install a new one.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello Guys , Have you done the securities step from the security tab. I tried all the steps only this one worked for me.
Can you let me know if you have tried to remove the permissions from the TEMP folder.

Hi Guys,
I think I was able to fix it!
I first downloaded node.js V 8.1.2 and tried to run the setup but got the same screen that tells "Node.js Setup Wizard ended prematurely". I took the log by running the setup msi file from command prompt and obtain a log by issuing this command:

"node-v8.1.2-x64.msi" /lxc c:\logs\mynode.log

Note: you must have "logs" folder on c: otherwise create one manually.
I found the following error listed at the end of the log:

Action start 8:09:49: FatalError.
Action ended 8:09:50: FatalError. Return value 2.
Action ended 8:09:50: INSTALL. Return value 3.
=== Logging stopped: 6/25/2017 8:09:50 ===
MSI (c) (C8:94) [08:09:50:504]: Product: Node.js -- Installation failed.

Then I took a couple of actions based on suggestions in some other threads of similar discussion:

1- I stopped "Windows Defender"
2- Turned off the firewall
3- Emptied the "Temp" folder C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\temp. ( a better way is to use Windows disk-cleanup utility which will not delete currently used temp files by other programs.

I tried the setup but still the same error.

Then I suddenly noticed that google chrome is running on my desktop and as per what I learned V8 engine is developed by google, so I assumed by closing it the setup should work; however to be more proactive, I closed all applications running on my pc including Visual Studio 2015 and restarted it.

I ran the setup and it worked. Not sure if it will help you guys too, but that's what I did and it worked for me.

Thanks

I had a few issues preventing the install. This is what I did:

  1. I had to take ownership of the "C:\Users\Games\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Node.js" folder. (google "add take ownership to explorer" if this is a problem you have frequently)

I thought this would fix it, but it still kept failing. For some reason it could not create a URL link to the folder. I tried some other solutions and they weren't working either.. So I kept on.

  1. I noticed "administrators" usergroup did not have read/write access to the "C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Local\temp" folder so I gave all permissions in the security tab for the "ADMINISTRATORS" group.
  2. I ran the "Disk Cleanup" wizard and cleared out the temp folder.

It now installed ran fine. Gotta love windows forgetting that users have permission to write to native windows folders for no apparent reason..

I also had this issue where the installation ended prematurely - I had Node installed previously also.

I found a few files named "npm" scattered around AppData and other areas, and deleted them.

The solution for me was to disable antivirus for 10 minutes (Avast).

Thanks all for the help, but it sounds like something might need to be changes to keep the AV gods happy during installation?
