How to bypass prerequisites checks using orca


Recommended Posts

Hi guys

was wondering if anyone could help me.

am trying to install Norton Internet Security 2007 on my windows 8 Pro x64

. Previously it worked on my windows 7 x64 ultimate just by using compatibility mode as vista now I am getting the following message

Setup cannot continue because there was a problem authenticating your Microsoft Windows Installer

when I checked the log file in the %temp% directory this is what I got.

I have tried opening the msi files with orca but I cannot for the life of me work out with line I have to disable or drop.

I also thought about trying a custom action to bypass checks but do not know which command to use.

any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

thx in advance

yeah thx guys but because I have started doing this I would really like to work it out just for my peace of mind to know that I have at least been able to do it.

any advice in how to accomplish this please ?

What I would really like to learn is where the prerequisite check is so I can disable it in orca

Norton Internet Security 2007 isn't certified for or designed to run on Windows 8. There is no reason to expect it to work properly - it's not designed to. So trying to force install it won't really be a useful thing to have worked out how to do - it's just a way to introduce potential complications to a healthy system.

What singularity said.

Not all updates to AV suites are just to milk money out of you >.<

You'll need to buy a more recent version of the software as there have been ENORMOUS architectural changes in Windows that your AV needs to be aware of.

Well for starters, I would stol using Norton, even more so an old version..

Just install Microsoft Security Essentals, less of a resource hog, and better, and free.

Well any norton 2009 version and never uses at lest as little resources and MSE, most likely less and provides better and more compete protection.

MSE is great, but norton is better, though if I didn't get norton free once or twice a year, I'd just use MSE.

And this, just run a new up to date norton, depending on your license you might be able to download the trial for the latest norton and use your existing license.

No idea how to force install other than possibly using the -f switch in Run ? (Not even sure if that is the correct command)

But as most have already suggested, MSE or any other free AV such as Avast would protect you a whole lot better than an ancient Norton, asking for trouble installing that on any machine/OS these days

Sorry, I won't help you brick your system.

Easiest way to bypass it, update your AV :D After all, yours is only 6 years old now. No viruses could get past it >.>

So you wont help me or you don't know. I just wish to learn how to do it is that to much to ask ? if my sustem becomes unstable I will just reformat and place a new av suite on it no probs I just want to learn how to do this

Not sure why you would even want to learn how to....It would be useless to even understand or have the slightest chance of doing so. Only thing possible from this is a corrupted windows 8 install, as changing core files or manipulating windows into thinking something different will 99.999999999% shaft the system.

Why are you running windows 8 yet running an old AV? If you like the old way why not stay with XP/Vista or 7? -.-

I put on it on my second system that I just use to experiment with but my main system is untouched everything on it is good and untampered with.

this system however I just use to muck around on and practice and experiment with software and l try to learn new things

So can u guys help me please.

This is more for knowledge on navigating and playing with orca nothing else

if it's for knowledge why use such an old outdated version?

Well any norton 2009 version and never uses at lest as little resources and MSE, most likely less and provides better and more compete protection.

MSE is great, but norton is better, though if I didn't get norton free once or twice a year, I'd just use MSE.

I used to hate norton, but ever since 2009, their software is geeting better and better and their 2011+ versions are great. its not the old days when norton was a huge resource hog.

I personally use the endpoint protection from symantec, probably the best AV/firewall package you can get.

if it's for knowledge why use such an old outdated version?

because I wish to learn how to do it with older versions Norton 2009 and above all work on win 8 no problems I just wish to see how to get Norton internet security 2007 to install.

guys please ....... rather than asking me why could you please help out with a resolution on how to install it.

I just want to know ..

if you cant help me just say so rather than just telling me to update because I have the latest version but I wish to try the oldversion on the practice pc.

Have you tried going into safe mode and running it in compatibility mode for say XP? If it's one thing I know how to do best and you can ask anyone here, is bork my system. My old philosphy: "If it ain't broke, fix it till it is." My new philosophy: "If it ain't broke, then leave it the Hell alone!"

AV's work on such a low level they NEED to be specifically coded for the OS/KErnel they're running on. Norton 2007 doesn't even know where to begin looking for stuff in the Win8 kernel, much less what it's doing in there when it's trying to hook in.

It will NOT work, it WILL break the system, there is NOTHING to be learned from forcing it to install.

OP:

From:

VerifyFile on MSI exec failed

No catalogs containing the hash for file 'C:\Windows\system32\msiexec.exe' passed WinVerifyTrust().

ProcessDWORDOption not found

it looks like this is less of a problem with prerequisite checks and more a problem of the msi itself being screwed up O.O

    • For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
