hi,

Max here, I am getting an error while trying to install corona sdk latest version 

CoronaSDK-2014.2407.msi

CoronaSDK-2014.2411.msi

The error message is 

The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2908

Please help 

Thank you

This happened to me after I installed a “free” unzip application (though I understand it can be caused by a variety of factors).  It hijacked the .msi extension and made it very hard to install things.

Doing a web search for the error message will yield various helpful suggestions like:

Thanks Perry for the reply. When i checked my program files i found corona installed properly even thought the error was thrown. It worked properly and i am able to build projects. Look like the error did not affect the install.

Thank you ,
