Problem:

Error 2203.Database: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\inprogressinstallinfo.ipi. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287037.

 

Your are unable to install OR uninstall any software regular way with ADD/REMOVE under W10/W11.

 

 

 

 

Error 2203.Database: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\inprogressinstallinfo.ipi. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287037.

 

Solution 1:

You have virtualized an old machine or a local disk where the %TEMP% was located as exmaple d: or e: does not exist anymore. Or you don't have correct write permission on the %temp% folder. (maybe Lock of malware)

 

Fix the %TEMP% variable and you should be able to use Windows Installer. Reboot the client and try again.

 

 

Or use commandline to check where it points:

Cmd.exe

Set | find /i "temp"

Or just

set

 

 

Also check the temp file in your user profile appdata

 

Solution 2:

 

Re-register Windows Installer Service (No feedback is fine ;-)

 

 

 

Solution 3:

Check Permission on Windows Installer Reg key

Solution 4:

Check the whole windows elevated

Cmd.exe (Run as Administrator)

sfc.exe /scannow

Solution 5:

 

Run a checkdisk

And Reboot

 

If you have not solved it until here well one one test machine VM we ripped out a d: e: DISK

And just run c: for some times we could not solve too, sorry

Maybe it helped
