About this tag
MSI Error 1730 is a Windows Installer error that has been reported following the August 2025 cumulative security updates from Microsoft. The error occurs when non-administrator users attempt to install, repair, or configure MSI-based applications, often accompanied by unexpected User Account Control (UAC) prompts. Microsoft has linked this regression to a security hardening change intended to mitigate CVE-2025-50173, a Windows Installer privilege escalation vulnerability. Affected systems include Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows Server builds that received the August 12, 2025 updates. Microsoft has acknowledged the issue and provided temporary mitigations such as Known Issue Rollback (KIR) and administrative workarounds to restore compatibility while preserving the security fix.
