Installation Errors and Work Around

To avoid the ActivClient Shared Stored Service Error, follow the steps listed below:

Make sure MSTDC is running on the machine.

Go to: Services >> Distributed Transaction Coordinator >> Startup Type (should be either Manual/Automatic).
If Startup Type is disabled, right-click and select Properties >> General tab and set Startup Type to either Manual/Automatic. Start the services.
If the error is not resolved, collect the installation logs using the following command and share it with HID Tech Support. For example, with the ActivClient 8.1.0 installer, the command will look like this:
```
msiexec /i "ActivClient-8.1.0.msi" /L*V C:\logspath
```
