I recently encountered Windows installer error 2203 whenever I tried to install a .msi file.

The problem was that whenever the machine was restarted the %TMP% and %TEMP% variables where set to C:\Temp. I could not figure out why (searched registry etc..)

My Resolution:
Open cmd, type echo %TEMP%
Compare the result with the setting under My Computer
Right click My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment variables -> User variables
Change the latter to match the first.

or

create a batch to run these commands on login…
(where Path is the same on each command and may be c:\temp (example))

reg add “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment” /v “Temp” /t REG_SZ /d “Path” /f
reg add “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment” /v “Tmp” /t REG_SZ /d “Path” /f
set TMP=Path
set TEMP=Path

PS! If you don’t know what you’re doing,, Don’t do it!

I tried to install WSUS 3.0 w/SP1

It failed with the errror :  0×80070643

My problem was that the drive I tried to install it on was compressed

I decompressed the drive and  it worked perfectly..

We were supposed to go on a trip to London this weekend…

A snowstorm and a KLM flight which skidded off the runway made sure that didn’t happen.

Our flight was the last flight to be cancelled.. We were supposed to take off
right after this KLM flight had landed….

It was a total chaos inside the terminal,, when we got to the ticket desk there was 354 ppl ahead of us in the queue.

After about 2,5 hrs we “skipped” ahead in line and talked to an airline rep. (still 200+ ahead of us)

No seats available on Saturday, no extra flights.. “You go home”, “You call this number on Monday” was all we got.

Hopefully we’ll get part of the trip refunded.. One can hope you know..

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with the travel agency,, they gave us a full refund. JIPPI!

I’ve redesigned the homepage,, it’s easier to maintain the way it is now…
Hopefully you’ll see regular(weekly/daily) updates from now on, instead of annual updates..
