That would be the i Access installer. Off-hand I'm not sure where the SP
executable/installer is stored (I normally downloaded them from IBM at
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/i/access/windows_sp.html) and
ran those.

Never done that before. In

\\Qdilgard\qibm\ProdData\Access\Windows\Image64a

is it setup.exe or cwbinstall.msi?

Try directly running the SP installer as Administrator off the iSeries
(or
network share or wherever its located). Windows automatically distrusts
executables from outside normal application paths (\Windows, \Program
Files) so it may be hanging up if Check Service Level's admin authority
is
not passed on to the SP installer.

I'm doing the "Check Service Level" icon by right-clicking and Run as
Administrator. It checks, says I need to install the service pack, I
confirm, it asks if I want to continue, I say yes, it says Preparing to
install, then bombs.

I turned off the AV and got the same result.

Agreed. Also, I don't recall if it was mentioned before but are you
running the installers as Administrator? Right-click the exe and
select
Run as Administrator.

I'd suggest checking the Windows event log to see why it isn't
installing.
There may be a message.

Another thought: Are there any Group Policy Objects (GPOs) or
application
white/blacklisting apps in place that might restrict software
installation?

I've never had this problem and I install Client Access and Service
packs
reasonably regularly.

What kind of anti-virus/system protection products are you using ?
Some
of
these products silently interfere with all kinds of installation
activity.

I still have not resolved this. I'm also having the same issue
with
my
new
64-bit desktop. And I have confirmed that both the 64-bit and

patches from MS have been installed. There must be something
else
but
I
sure can't find out what.

Not having a good day here. Even got held up by a train. :)

For a couple of years now I've had trouble (read unable) with
Win 7
32-bit

I
get
this
error:

"This installation package could not be opened. Verify that
the
package
exists and that you can access it, or contact the application
vendor
to
verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."

I decided it's time to figure this out. I found this page:








http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/i/access/windows_sp.html#action

which in turn sends me here:


http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=26347

I have downloaded vcredist_x86 (they're 32-bit laptops), run
it,
rebooted,
and it did not help. Same error.

What am I missing?
