SYMPTOMS
When you install a program on a Windows Vista-based computer, the installation procedure does not finish after the computer restarts.
Back to the top
CAUSE
This issue may occur if the following conditions are true:
| • |
The Setup program requires that a file or a folder be moved after the computer restarts. |
| • |
The file or the folder has been encrypted during installation. Typically, the Setup program has used the %temp% folder as a staging area. However, that folder is marked for encryption. |
| • |
When the Setup program tries to move the encrypted file after the computer restarts, the Local Security Authority (LSA) service is not ready. Therefore, the Encrypting File System (EFS) is not available. |
