April 01, 2007 "Error 1913" while installing Office 2003 on Vista Posted by: admin : Category: Windows I would have supposed that installing Office 2003 on Windows Vista would simply work.My assumption was so terribly wrong. Not soon after starting Setup it throws this error message at me: Error 1913: Setup cannot update file C:\\WIndows\\system32\\mapisvc.inf. Verify that the file exists in your system and that you have sufficient permissions to update it. So, oviously an issue with Outlook (mapisvc) registering itself in the system. Running Setup without installing Outlook was just fine. So was when installing Outlook without MAPI (the "Exchange" stuff…) features. I hoped it to be simply a file permission issue causing setup to fail on updating mapisvc.inf. Looking at the file permissions showed me this: C:\\Windows\\System32>cacls mapisvc.inf C:\\Windows\\System32\\mapisvc.inf NT SERVICE\\TrustedInstaller:(ID)F PREDEFINED\\Administrators:(ID)R NT-AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM:(ID)R PREDEFINED\\USERS:(ID)R So, my permissions are inadequate? Setup does not account to TrustedInstaller Group? Fact is: I could not edit the permissions in the first place. It was likely to be some sort of UAC (User Account Control) magic trickery. So I decided to turn off UAC from control panel, not without needing to reboot the machine first of c
is Vista problem but it can also be Office 2003 problem. Here it goes: I'm setting up Office 2003 Pro (open license edition) on Vista Business SP1. The OS has the latest patches installed. While running setup, after choosing Typical Setup selection, I get the following error: Error 1913. Setup cannot update file C:\Windows\system32\mapisvc.inf. Verify that the file exists in your system and that you have sufficient permissions to update it. The only thing that works is Cancel setup which rolls everything back. I can't install Office 2003. I'm using Administrator domain account to install Office 2003. MAPISVC.INF file has the following permissions: 1) TrustedInstaller http://phaq.phunsites.net/2007/04/01/error-1913-while-installing-office-2003-on-vista/ - Full Control (Inherited From Parent Object) 2) Administrators (machinename\Administrators - Read & Execute (Inherited From Parent Object) 3) SYSTEM - Read & Execute (Inherited From Parent Object) 4) Users (machinename\Users) - Read & Execute (Inherited From C:\Windows\System32\) I have never seen TrustedInstaller group. What is that? How can I find out Administrator is a member of TrustedInstaller group? More importantly, how can I install Office 2003 on Vista machine?
