This folder is "protected" in Windows, or most likely is buggy : its read-only status cannot be removed, something is constantly modifying permissions on it. Removing this read-only status or trying error writing to to change permissions has no effect. Here is a workaround : 1) click on Start button > Run > msconfig 2) select "Diagnostic startup", click OK, then restart your computer 3) click on Start button > Run >services.msc 4) select "Windows Installer" service and start it 5) run your program setup, you should not see any error now :-) 6) click on Start button > Run > msconfig 7) select "Normal startup" (or "Selective startup" depending of your previous choice), click OK, then restart your computer --- Please share this page URL to help others ! MOMO - - 19/01/2016 Hello; This methode not working with me still Erroe 1328 c:confog.msi error NumFech - 26/07/2016 Thanks!! it works Write a comment : Your name : E-mail (optional) : AntiSpam : what animal is visible on this picture ? : files in it TIA BarryMcQ21-08-2002, 09:32 PMI found this tidbit in google, hope it explains it :-) Q. I have a mysterious folder called config.msi that now holds nearly 78 megabytes of files. These files all end with the .rbf extension. What are they, and can the contents of this folder be safely deleted? A. Microsoft's developers, in their infinite wisdom and generosity, created this folder and these files on your system to allow you to back out of an upgrade to Office 2000. In the event that you experience problems with your installation, these files allow you to uninstall Office 2000 and go back to your previous version of Office. If you are confident that your Office program is working properly, you can delete this folder and all the contents. I would suggest that you may just want to rename the folder to config.msi.old and see how things go for a week or so. If all is well, go in and reclaim that disk space. videoguy21-08-2002, 09:38 PMThanks I did look in google b4 I posted here but drew a blank Ok I will delete the directory Bryan BarryMcQ21-08-2002, 11:12 PMI'd just change its name for a while first ;-) Just in case. Wolftiger16-06-2006, 03:46 AMThe place that I work is having a problem with one of its servers. It's this C:\config.Msi file/folder. We try to backup this server that this item is on but the following error occurs "Unable to find files C:\Config.Msi, error: (2-The system cannot find the file specified.)" And we would appreciate any help on this situation. We use Ultrabac and we cannot find anything at the C: drive on that server but the pathway C:\Config.Msi cannot be found at all. Due we need to create the C:\Config.Msi just so that this error doesn't pop-up every single time. If we cannot find it and the server cannot find it and the server seems to need to find it for some reason how can we solve this situation. Is it possibly hidden somehow from even our backup software. Greg16-06-2006, 04:44 AMIt'd be helpful if you supplied a bit more info - what is the server running etc. The only reference I could find on Microsoft was here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910228/en-us). Happy reading! autechre16-06-2006, 02:42 PMI think just about any programs that use the Microsoft Installer (MSI), create this folder as a temporary extraction folder. Usually it's automatically cleaned up once the app is installed. Sometimes you may need to reboot before the app will finish whatever it's using in the folder.
