error installing gaxp1409.exe

Question

Hi,

I am running vista business sp2. I have visual studio 2008 sp1 installed. I was able to install GuidanceAutomationExtensions.msi via the command line using admin rights. I am trying to install gaxp1409.exe before I install GuidanceAutomationToolkitForVS2008.msi but i get the following error

" The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch"

The dump from the GaxTroubleshooter exe is as follows:

Answer 1

I solved this issue by removing Vista Business and Loading Vista Ultimate. As a side note - I had someone test the GAX installation on Windows 7 and it didnt succeed.

Answer 2

In my case I have ultimate and no way to install gaxp104... same error:

The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.
