Hi, Someone got it working by a system restore. Let us have a try. If the issue persists, run regedit.exe, navigate to HKLM\COMPONENTS search for the following three keys: PendingXmldentifier, NextQueueEntryIndex, AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving and delete them. Please make a backup before any modificaton on registry.
