Error 1628: Failed to complete installation.
I am getting a error continously on my system while installing a game patch. I am using Windows XP PRo 64bit edition OS in my system. I have a AMD processor. Now as it is a 64 bit edition system I thought this would give a much better performance. But I never thought that I will be facing this kid of issue while working on it. I am playing Call of Duty. I am trying to add some patches which give the following error. The latest patch that I had downloaded is some 580MB. After download it not installing and crash with error code 1628.
Re: Error 1628: Failed to complete installation.
I have exactly the same problem, but do not have any answers. I can't install the latest v1.4 patch for Call of Duty World at War on my Windows XP Pro x64bit system. I tried all the recommended fixes on google, ie. making sure my windows installer was fully updated, cleaning out temp files, installing in safe mode, etc, but nothing works.

Thanks for that answer. It really worked for me. I had seen the settings before and was not able to locate any software restrictions. If you are still confused with the settings then you can find the same under Performance Maintenance > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy > Software Restriction. You just need to double click to create one and set a fresh policy. That's all. Then try back to run the patch it would work.

This solution works in some system only. I am not playing COD, but a different war game. It is also having a set of patch files which weigh around 300MB in all. When I run first couple of files I found a crash error. I re-downloaded them, follow the above steps but nothing worked out. Later on I had asked a question on the official forums, which says that the patch does not work for 64bit system.

I had failed number of times in installing Cricket 2009 and nothing worked out. First the setup goes well. There were no error. But when I try to launch the game or run some patches it crashes. I had uninstalled and installed the same number of time. I had managed to modify the software enforcement settings also. But there is no luck at all.
Re: Error 1628: Failed to complete installation.
I hope you guys are talking about legit copy. My friend shared with me a cracked disc of COD which gave me the exact error. I thought as it is not a legit copy, so I bought one. Now that is a bit weird. The game is installed but the issue arises now in patches. I have Windows 7 x64 system. I had downloaded different patches. Now when I try to extract them I am getting 1628 error. I had seen this error before also which goes away on its own. I did nothing. I am sure re-downloading 500MB back is not going to help in anyway.
Re: Error 1628: Failed to complete installation.
Turning of Antivirus is not at all helpful. It is right to assume that some security applications might be blocking the setup. So there one more thing I did and it worked. I created a different user account in Windows. I provided admin rights to it. When I run the setup it worked. So just by switching the game is installed properly and even working. Try to install the game in a different account. That would help you a lot in many ways.
Re: Error 1628: Failed to complete installation.
I went to control panel and inside administrative tool. There is no local security settings listed. I had checked a number of times. I have a desktop also, in that also I cannot find local security settings. It would be much better if someone can make a video of that and provide a link. By which we can find what exact changes are needed to do. I am sure there are many ways of doing it. I am dying to play COD and just got the CD. I never thought it would crash at the installation.

Which operating system have you installed in your pc? Normally, the Local Security Policy as well as the ability to create new groups is only available in XP Professional. Whatever "manual" you're looking at seems to have overlooked that fact. FYI, in Windows XP Professional, you would go to Computer Management -> Local User and Groups or enter lusrmgr.msc in the Run box.
