What are setup.msi Error Messages?


General setup.msi Runtime Errors

setup.msi file errors often occur during the install phase of Adobe Captivate, but can also occur while the program is running. These types MSI errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Adobe Captivate is running. Here are some of the most common setup.msi runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\setup.msi

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most MSI errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your setup.msi file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Adobe Captivate), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, setup.msi file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Adobe Captivate, system crash while loading or saving setup.msi, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve setup.msi problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download setup.msi Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying setup.msi to your appropriate Windows system directory. Adobe Systems Incorporated typically does not release Adobe Captivate MSI files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing setup.msi and all other MSI files for Adobe Captivate. An incorrectly installed MSI file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
