If your computer is an HP (or other brand), please look here for a setting you must perform OR if your ActivID does a roll back just before finishing install.
Other ideas that have worked for some. The concept is to try each one individually until one works. It is NOT a do all of them, then try.
-Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftCOM3
-Right click the Com+Enabled key
-Select Modify to edit the DWORD (32-bit), change the value from 0 to 1 to enable COM+
----------------
- Delete following key and reinstall ActivID:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesActivID Shared StoreService'
----------------
-Make sure the Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) service is running
by checking the Service Status and running 'sc query msdtc' from an administrative command prompt.
If you need to Enable the startup, or needed to start it - try to run the ActivID installer again once it is up.
----------------
- If it's not DTC - next check your COM/DCOM:
Run dcomcnfg.exe
Browse down through Component Services > Computers > My Computer > COM+
Applications.
Did you receive any error message (usually Access Denied) or do you see any
Red Arrows?
This would indicate your COM system is corrupt - please see Microsoft KB2481190 for
a possible solution.
----------------
- If it is not COM or DTC - have you recently imaged this computer?
Please check the following Registry Key:
HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftMSDTCSysprepInProgress
Is this key value set to '1'? If so - set it to '0' and try the install again.
(Ref Microsoft KB3202122).

ActivID 7.1.0.x relies on Windows services that are launched when a smart card is detected. Sometimes those services fail to start. In most cases a restart of your computer with your CAC inserted in the reader will fix the issue.
Newer HP computers (and other brands too) will need to temporarily stop all services that start with: HP (or other brand)before installing ActivID
Please try this idea first: Plug in your CAC reader and insert your CAC into the reader and attempt install again. If this doesn't work, then try the ideas below.
Here's how: Type: Services.msc in the Type here to search box, Click on Services Desktop app
Scroll down to each of the services that start with : HP (or other brand)and double click each of them one at a time.
Click the Stop button for each HP (or other brand) Service. You can now install ActivID, and once you restart your computer [after installing ActivID], they will start up again automatically.
