Its about 5 minutes or less depending on your machines stability and ability to compute your moves. I recommend you to reboot your computer in between steps and before you begin be sure to create a System RESTORE point as well. This was written using XP, your system will vary slighty but not much. And YES, this is the broad basics. Two things first... Find out what version your MSI installer is and if it needs updating. NOTE: i would have guessed you would of received a different code or error if you just needed an update!?. Such as a message stating to be out of date; needs updating; is corrupted; etc.. i'm failry sure it works this way too. I was also getting an error 2755 when attempting a JAVA install. This turned out to be related to the "Windows Installer" not being set to Automatic and/or the service Started! 1.) --> Start --> Run --> type "Msiexec" (Case insensitive and without quotes))

Mar 15, 2003 12:55 AM|chrisx|LINK Right at the begining of the progress bar the installer halts with the following message: "The system cannot open the device or file specified." Try Again/Cancel when I click on Cancel I get the following message: "The Installer has enccountered an unexpected error installing the package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2755." OK is the only option which leads me out of the installer. I reloaded the Report Starter Kit but still no go. Any clues what 2755 means?

Aug 19, 2003 05:02 PM|fezzig|LINK I just got the same 2755 error when trying to install a .NET windows service on a customer's server. When installed correctly, the service executable resides on the C: drive, in the system32 folder. I was running the Setup files from a separate mapped drive when I got the error. I moved the Setup files to the root of the C: drive, tried again, and it installed perfectly, with no errors. I'm not sure exactly what the problem was but hopefully this will help, or point you in the right direction. Reply GPT27 None 0 Points 11 Posts Re: Install Failure - error code 2755? Oct 25, 2006 04:46 AM|GPT27|LINK I came up with the same error message as above. Like Fezzig wrote, I copied the installer to a local drive (Windows Desktop)and it worked fine. Iwas working on Windows 2000 Server. Reply matthewdeanm... None 0 Points 3 Posts Re: Install Failure - error code 2755? Nov 28, 2006 10:24 PM|
