Windows 10: Error 1721 trying to update Microsoft Edge

As the title suggests, I'm struggling updating Edge on a number of machines.In the event viewer I get Error 1721 "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run."I downloaded the installer from the microsoft site, and has worked on other machines.I've tried deleting temporary files and running an sfc scan but to no avail.I can't change any of the settings of the installer to run exclusively as admin, and can't uninstall edge as there is no option to.Any help is appreciated.Thanks,

:)

 

Error 1721 in Windows 10. Error 1721: 'There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.' during installation/uninstallation

Hello,

I have been trying to install "CSI Etabs 2013 software" . but I got this Error (1721) and then when I want to Uninstalling , i got this Error(1721) again.

I did this steps but didn't work.

• Hold down the Windows key + R to open the Run box
• Type MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER and click OK Even if you do this correctly,it may look like nothing happens
• Type MSIEXEC /REGSERVER and click OK
• Try the installation once more
  

By the way, I don't have problem with Installing last version of softwares. but I always have problem with Installing old version of softwares.

Best regards.

 

Microsoft Edge TLS Security

After trying everything (not a lot of steps) listed in the Microsoft Edge support site, I did a wider search and found this very simple youtube video that fixed it immediately:

For those who prefer not to click links the steps are simple:

1. Click in the Cortana search bar next to the Win 10 Start button

2. Type internet options

3. Select internet options (control panel) from the list

4. Click on the advanced tab

5. Scroll down to the security section

6. Make sure the following are all clicked:
Use SSL 3.0
Use TLS 1.0
Use TLS 1.1
Use TLS 1.2

7. Click apply

8. Refresh the page that was giving the error and it should now connect.

Hope this helps, it was a 30 second fix after hours of pounding my head against the error with the Support site suggestions.
