Hello Ivan,
Thanks for that, I have a 64bit laptop (Windows 7), can you please send the link?

you still need the x86 version, Stylus Studio is 32 bits. Use the link I posted on my previous message.

Hello Ivan,
Thanks, when I try to install, I get an exception. Please see attached.
I can confirm the following (just noticed the similar post):
1. Running as administrator
2. 64bit Windows 7 Pro
In addition, I can see the following in the event logs:
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stylus Studio X15 XML Professional Suite\bin\Struzzo.exe".

Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

Can you find the install log in your TEMP folder?
It should have a pretty recognizable name, see if can find what triggered the error.
Is the Windows Modules Installer service (TrustedInstaller) running?
Have you checked if Windows Update has any pending installation for VC C++ runtime?

Hello Ivan,
Yes, I can see the following in the log file (please note that I have updated the previous comment as well):

The Windows Modules Installer was set to 'Manual' but I started the service and I still get this issue.

To check if you have updates to install go to
Control Panel -> System and Security -> Windows Update
There are few posts on Microsoft Support which suggest to check the system integrity using the following command from a command prompt started as administrator

Hello Ivan,
Thanks for that, I tried the link but I cannot install the package (VC++) for a similar reason.
I also ran the integrity checks and still no luck.
Any other ideas? Is there some way to identify exactly the missing configuration?

Sorry Tinu,
We have no additional ideas, the problem seems to be very peculiar to your system. You may be running an anti-virus or anti-spyware software which conflicts with the Microsoft Installer, or some of the core windows component not configured properly, I am afraid you will need to look for help elsewhere.
