This indicates that connection between the modem and the motherboard slot (or USB controller if using a USB modem) is bad or the modem is bad. If you are using a USB modem, try removing the modem from the port, restart the computer, wait until Windows fully opens, and then insert the modem into a different USB port on the back of the computer. Ensure correct spelling and spacing - Examples: 'paper jam'. Tips for better search results. If reseating the modem in its slot does not resolve the problem, replace the modem.

  This should be shared here:

  Unless you want to add instructions on how to use it. That'd be good too!

  Thanks BrandF. I haven't shared any tools before so that makes sense. I'm going to add how to use it so it fits better here. It's a standalone exe so it's pretty simple to use. :)

  Could you share something about how this works? Does it work similar to AppDeploy Repackager, which takes a snapshot of the system before and after running the exe and then creates an MSI based on the changes?

  I would suggest to everyone that running the executable with the '/?' argument from a commandline might better suit your needs that to just repackage an executable.
  Most executables are MSIs with arguments and related files wrapped to an EXE. In my experience, and it depends on the initial brand of packager, just executing the EXE from commandline with '/extract' argument will unwrap the MSI and drop it in the working directory.
  I believe I will have to expand on this further with a How-To of my own, containing the most popular brands of packagers with a compilation of arguments for network installations, answer files, license keys, etcetera that I will link later when I actually get there.
  There are times when conversion is necessary, and this is a great simple tool that Thunderhead created for Symantec. Thanks for the post :-)

  This tools simply extracts the MSI from an EXE. It doesn't work if the EXE doesn't use an MSI internally.

  In the end I used Advanced Installer for my conversions: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/tutorial-convert-exe-to-msi.html

  It supported any type of EXE package, including simple self-executable archives.

  If you start an EXE and go to Start > Run, type in %TEMP% then you will see if that particular exe has an MSI and/or MST associated with it. We always used these for repackaging projects.

  Yes, this tool extracts MSI(s) from an EXE file. It's easy to emulate its behavior as Chris868255 suggested. If the included MSIs are executed with specific parameters or an EXE doesn't include MSIs, repackaging should be used to get an MSI package.

  In this case I would recommend EMCO MSI Package Builder: http://emcosoftware.com/msi-package-builder/convert-exe-to-msi. We use it succesfully for our repackaging projects. You can see how repacking works here: http://emcosoftware.com/msi-package-builder/video-tour.
