ERROR_BAD_CONFIGURATION

ERROR_BAD_CONFIGURATION means that Windows Installer found corrupt configuration data for the product. The error refers to installed-product configuration and is not a conclusive statement that the MSI file currently being opened is corrupt.

What to check

  • Capture the ProductCode, command line, installer log, and the action that requested product configuration data.
  • Check whether the same failure occurs during repair, uninstall, or only one maintenance action.
  • Use the vendor-supported repair or removal procedure; avoid deleting installer registration data manually.
