when I run the msi I get

Error

Input string was not in a correct format

 

Any recommendations appreciated.

Does the install path have any special characters or is it a non-english OS?  The installer does not like something that was input in the wizard would be my guess.

US OS and I'm installing using whatever defaults are set in the MSI.

There is an incorrect value in the following value in the Windows registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\sPositiveSign

This value should be empty for most English Language settings. Note that when this error occurs, the value may appear empty visually, but may contain a space or unprintable character.

 

Try resolving that with following:

 

1. Open the Regional and Language Options applet from the Control Panel.

2. Note the Current Format.
3. Change the Current Format to English (Australian)
4. Click Apply.
5. Change the Current Format to the noted format, eg, English (American).
6. Click Apply and then click OK.

7. Reboot the system and run setup again.
