Hello guys,

I encountered an issue regarding the Project 2013 installation.  It always gives the Exit code 259. I checked the meaning of 259, it means No more data is available.

Does any body see the same/similare problem?

I also seeking a parameter which could allow me to create the log for Project2013 installation, thus maybe some helpful infor could be provided in the log. The source files is as below,

Any help is appreciated.

Ethan.

Project? It looks like it's a folder for Visio 2013. Maybe you have upload the wrong screenshot?

And what's the files like Passive.MSP and Passive_orig.MSP?

Also check if there are other files in the updates folder, if they didn't create anything, just empty the updates folder (back up first), and try to run setup again.

.

Meanwhile, by default, Office (Project) will create log files in the \Temp folder during setup. The log files have names that are similar to

SetupExe(201304251107012350).log

.

Other than that, we can also use the Process Monitor to capture the real time info during the setup: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx

Thank you for the reply, I made a mistake, I attached the wrong screenshot. but actually both Project 2013 and Visio 2013 have the same problem to install on my machine. The Passive,MSP and the Passive_orig.msp are the admin files I created to silently install the softwre.

Let me check the log. Thanks again.

I just found the log, it is exactly the similare name you told.

From the log, I see the detailed info

2013/03/21 14:49:11:465::[8544] Error: ORegistryKey.GetSubKeyNames failure: Cannot get all sub key names  for registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall ErrorCode: 259(0x103).

It seems the installer failed to enumerate the sub keys under Uninstall, so I renamed the key name of uninstall, then try again, then it worked.

Thank you, Max!
