Well, you\u2019ve come to the right page.<\/p>\n<p>Windows users have been complaining about encountering this error on several occasions on their computers.<\/p>\n<p>The Windows Installer performs some of the most critical tasks on the operating system, such as program installation, software removal, and maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>The installer is packed with registry keys, shortcuts, and other metadata and usually carries out its functions without issues.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, errors can occur randomly. You may receive the following message:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script required for this install to complete could not be run.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>What is the Error 1720 on Windows 10?<\/h2>\n<p>The &#8220;Error 1720: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package\u201d can be triggered by registry issues.<\/p>\n<p>The error appears to affect Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 machines and pops up when a software update\/upgrade or installation fails. It also appears when users try to uninstall programs.<\/p>\n<p>The most annoying thing is that the error can be quite resilient and can interfere with your daily tasks. Fortunately, the error is temporary and can easily be fixed by the workarounds in this post.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Fix \u2018There is a Problem with this Windows Installer Package\u2019 on Windows 10<\/h2>\n<h3>Solution 1: Be sure to run the installer with administrative permissions<\/h3>\n<p>Installing any third-party application requires administrative permissions for the process to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>This is a standard requirement on all Windows machines that gives you more control over what gets installed on your device.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a preventive measure that helps to keep applications from installing in the background. It also helps prevent the installation of malware.<\/p>\n<p>Now, you might not have the proper permissions to install the program that triggered the Error 1720. Well, you can resolve it by running the installer as an administrator. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open the location in File Explorer containing the application you want to install.<\/li>\n<li>Right-click the installer and select Run as Administrator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s it. If the issue was caused by a lack of administrator rights, this should fix it. If not, try the next troubleshooting step below.<\/p>\n<h3>Solution 2: Re-download the installer and setup files<\/h3>\n<p>An application package comprises several installation setup files or a single .exe file, accompanied by numerous DLL files.<\/p>\n<p>If the download was incomplete, or for some reason one of the files got corrupted, the installation will fail and may trigger the Error 1720.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, the file could have been corrupted by the presence of a virus in your computer. Your antivirus can also block the .exe file, deeming it malicious.<\/p>\n<p>For that case, you should run a malware scan to eliminate any kinds of threats. Additionally, try re-downloading the file once again to check if this works.<\/p>\n<p>You can also temporarily disable your antivirus software and try to run the installer. However, this is a risky move unless you are 100 percent certain that the application is trustworthy.<\/p>\n<p>One more thing. Be sure your system meets the minimum requirements to run the program. Otherwise, the entire process will fail again.<\/p>\n<h3>Solution 3: Run the troubleshooter<\/h3>\n<p>Windows 10 comes with troubleshooting tools to help find and fix common computer problems. Usually, you\u2019ll find the Troubleshoot option in the Settings app under this path:<\/p>\n<p><em>Update &amp; Security &gt; Troubleshoot &gt; Additional troubleshooters.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can open Control Panel and type \u201cTroubleshoot\u201d (no quotes) in the Search Control Panel input box.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter is not listed here, and you&#8217;ll have to download it to proceed with this process. Here are the steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/topic\/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed-cca7d1b6-65a9-3d98-426b-e9f927e1eb4d\" rel=\"nofollow\">Microsoft\u2019s download page<\/a> and click on the blue <em>Download Troubleshooter<\/em> button.<\/li>\n<li>Choose your preferred location to save the file and download it. Once downloaded, select <em>Run<\/em> or <em>Open<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the instructions provided to complete the process. Once done, try to install or uninstall the problematic program to see if it goes through this time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Solution 4: Install pending Windows Updates<\/h3>\n<p>The Error 1720 could be caused by a buggy Windows Installer. Typically, Windows releases updates periodically to address buggy updates and improve system performance. That&#8217;s why you&#8217;re always encouraged to keep your system up to date.<\/p>\n<p>To check if there are pending Windows updates for your system, follow the guide below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Press the <code>Windows Key + I<\/code> to launch the <em>Settings<\/em> app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/windows-settings-panel-options.webp\" alt=\"Launch the Windows Settings app.\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Type <em>Updates<\/em>\u00a0in the Find a Setting input box and select<em> Check for Updates<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/windows-settings-update-search.webp\" alt=\"Launch the Windows Settings app.\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>On the page that opens next, check if pending updates are waiting to be installed and install them. If no updates are displayed, click on the Check for Updates button and wait for Windows to search online for available updates. If updates are available, Windows will automatically download and install them on your machine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Restart your Windows PC and try running the installer again. If you&#8217;re still getting the error, proceed to the next fix.<\/p>\n<h3>Solution 5: Check Windows Installer for errors<\/h3>\n<p>If Windows Installer is corrupted or disabled by mistake, you won&#8217;t be able to install anything on your machine. You need to make sure that it&#8217;s working accordingly. To do that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Press the <code>Windows + R<\/code> keyboard shortcut.<\/li>\n<li>Type <em>CMD<\/em> into the Run text box. Press the <code>Ctrl + Shift + Enter<\/code> key combination to launch Command Prompt with elevated rights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cmd-windows-r-run-box-1.png\" alt=\"Launch the Windows Settings app.\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Type the command <code>MSIExec<\/code> and press Enter. If everything checks out, a pop-up window with Windows Installer details will appear. If an error report is displayed instead, you\u2019ll need to re-register Windows Installer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/msiexec-cmd-1.png\" alt=\"Type MSIExec into cmd.\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h3>Solution 6: Re-register Windows Installer<\/h3>\n<p>If the previous step shows a Windows Installer error report, you must re-register it to get rid of those errors, and hence the Error 1720. Follow these instructions for guidance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open the <em>Quick User Menu<\/em> using the <code>Windows + X<\/code> shortcut and select <em>Command Prompt (Admin)<\/em>.
