Error - A valid installer could not be found, using AAMEE and CS6

I receive the error - A valid installer could not be found, when using AAMEE 3.0 to create a CS6 Trial Package in Windows 7.  I'm following the procedure documented here - http://blogs.adobe.com/oobe/tag/cs6 Imaging CS6-Attack of the Clones.  I've tried both pointing at the DVD and pointing to a local folder, after copying the DVD to a local folder and copying the \payloads folder from the second DVD.  I know the DVD is valid because I did a manual installation.  I'm pointing at the folder that contains the Set-up.exe file, plus I've tried pointing at every other folder as well, with no success.  I have a 40 user license for CS6 Master Collection for a classroom on our campus.  I need to create a image for this classroom, and was thrilled that a solution was being provided to accomodate this, but AAMEE does not work!  I'm working in a Windows 7 environment.
On top of this frustration, my Adobe ID is not working, I've used "chat" support and phone support and I can still not log in.  They claim it has been escalated.  When I explained the AAMEE error to the phone support rep, he informed me that there was no technical support and my only option was to post the question on the forum...but you have to log in with your Adobe ID to post a question!  Round and round it goes.  So I had to create another ID under a different email, just to post my question.  I'm getting the mystery "an error has occurred, please try again", when I try to log in with my work Adobe ID.
Help! Anyone?

RESOLVED - Thanks in part to the ALBERT-in-Vancouver and Tushar Bammi thread concerning a similar problem.  I dissected the PDApp.log.  I had copied the installation DVDs to a local folder per the Deployment Guide, when installing from the DVD initially failed.  But, PDApp.log stated - EnterpriseNativeApplet Individual media disks on fixed volumes are not supported, please use CD/DVD or mounted ISO/DMG media.  That clued me in to trying to create the MSI using the DVDs again.  My fault - that the original attempts to create the MSI from the DVDs did not work, I didn't realize I needed to run AAMEE with elevated privileges.  Note - the earlier attempts when I was running AAMEE with elevated privileges and pointing to the locally copied installation files, failed.  Interesting.  I'm confused as to why the Deployment Guide directed my to create a product-install folder...
I haven't tested the MSI file yet, but if I have additional problems I will start a new thread.
Thanks.

  • A valid installer could not be found - Presenter 10

    I am trying to create a package through AAMEE for Adobe Presenter 10.  I extracted the 7z package using the Presenter_10_LS21.exe and directed the extracted files to a temp folder (C:\temp\..).  When I enter the location of the product-installation folder on the Media & Package Identification screen, I get the error: ' A valid installer could not be found'.  When I look in the directory, I see the setup.exe and configuration.xml file.  So what am I missing?

    in trying to debug the above error, I found this in the PDApp.log:
    [FATAL] EnterpriseNative - Error in mdbGetProductIDList 12
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection - A valid installer could not be found

    Hi,
    For our organisation i want te create a unattended installation for Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection. I received 3 .iso files from our distributor (SurfMarket.nl) that i've extracted.
    When using Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition (3.1) i get the following error:
    The folder i have tried: (with Adobe CS5.5 this works)
    The 3 folders:
    Any suggestions / ideas?

    Hi,
    Please merge all these 3 iso file contents into a single folder and retry. Alternatively, you can mount these iso files one at a time in sequence(though same mount drive). AAMEE should be able to recognize CS6 medias in both the cases. Please refer to AAMEE 3.1 deployment guide & share the logs if it does not work.
    Thanks,
    Sachin

  • I removed my optical drive because i added an ssd hard drive. when i plug in the dvd to usb it will not play from the macbooks dvd program. the error message is there was an initialization error, a valid drive could not be found.

    I can go into disk utility and see the optical drive and mount what ever cd is in the drive and quicktime will play it. but i would like to have the dvd program recognize the optical drive and open what ever is in it.

    Freakin amazing! I installed a new 1TB Samsung SSD in my main hard drive slot and moved my old hard drive into my DVD slot and moved my DVD to an external DVD case and it would never work with movies, only software disks. I have Late 2011 Macbook Pro running Mavericks with 1TB Samsung SSD and a 512GB HDD in the DVD slot with my DVD in an OWC external DVD case.
    I tried this trick but at first, this did not work because OxED was saving the new file as a text file and not a unix file. I was perplexed until I read the comments below the article and found the tip to use Terminal to change the saved file to a Unix file. I have never used Terminal before and I had no clue what I was doing, but I just followed the steps to a T and it worked. It took two tries with Terminal.
    The comment mentioned "Code:" so I typed that along with the rest and it didn't work. I tried it again and this time just typed
    chmod +x (with a space after the x) then dragged and dropped the saved dvd file from my Desktop into Terminal and hit enter. Worked great. Thank you. I have my DVD player back.
    I also had to play around with some permissions and I had to remove the original file completely from the "A" folder, before I dropped the new file back in.
    Took a little work, but I am back up and running. Thanks to all who contributed to this and yet OWC definitely needs to have all this in their manual or even provide a disk or software download that does this automatically.
    Here is the trick: http://macenstein.com/default/2011/07/how-to-get-your-external-super-drive-worki ng-in-lion/
    Be sure that the new file saves as a Unix file. If it doesnt save as Unix, you will need to:
    Open Terminal.
    Type:    chmod +x
    …with a space at the end (and do NOT press enter yet).
    Then, drag the saved file you want to change from whereever it is saved and drop it on top of the Terminal window. The file path and filename should automatically fill in (and you should ensure that there’s a space between “+x” and the file path).
    Press enter.

  • A valid installer could not be found.

    I followed the instructions for using Adobe Application Manager to create an install package for Macintosh computers very carefully.  I cannot get it to accept that the Install.app is in the product install folder I created by copying contents of the two DVDs.   Volumes/FW Data/Reference/CS5_5 Mstr Collection/Adobe CS5_5 Master Collection.   The files in this folder are Install.app and the folders payloads, packages and deploy.  
    I have tried other variations and am currently creating the package using the DVD's as product folder.  I expect this may fail as it will have to ask me to change disks and it is inconvenient as I cannot include current updates.

    You could use folder names without spaces, could you not? Try that.

  • Error: The specified procedure could not be found

    Apparently the password expired on my Windows 7 BETA installation. Upon restart the system notifies me and asks for a new password. After confirming the password I get the error:
    "The specified procedure could not be found"
    I cannot log in at this point. The old password won't let me in and I can't change it. The administrator account I found is disabled by default.
    Is there any way to log in?

    Okay, here is your dilemma.
    You cannot login to your only account and the local administrator account is in its default disabled mode.
    There is a solution, albeit totally unsupported.  Go to http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page and download the latest SystemRescueCd.  Burn a CD from the ISO.  When you boot with the SystemRescue CD, you will type ntpass and hit <enter>.  From there, make sure you read the screens.  You will have make selections depending on how you loaded Windows 7 (clean vs. upgrade vs. dual boot, etc).  Using this disk, you CAN enable the local administrator’s account and login in.
    I just did the procedure using Windows 7, build 7000 with SystemRescueCd 1.1.6.
    Good luck.

  • DBD: Error while trying to load the transport provider for odbc. Failed to load the library. System error: The specified module could not be found.

    Hello Everyone,
    We are getting an error while trying to create an Universe via Microsoft -> MS Analysis Services 2014 -> OLEDB for OLAP Provider under Connection in UDT -"DBD: Error while trying to load the transport provider for odbc. Failed to load the library. System error: The specified module could not be found."  We have installed BI 4.1 SP05 in our system. As per earlier posts in scn in BO XI 3.x this issue used to be for improper installation of Integration KIT but in our scenarion Integration KIT is within the BO 4.1 package so no seperate installation is required. Moreover I have checked whether all the driver is present under file: "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\dataAccess\connectionServer\drivers" and seems everything is fine. But still I am getting this error. One important point is we could use IDT because in IDT still we don't have option to connect with 'Microsoft Analysis Services - 2014 (XMLA)' as we are using Microsoft Analysis Services 2014 version.
    Kindly help if anyone has faced the same problem with SAP BO 4.1.
    Thanks and Best Regards,

    Hi @bodger50,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! 
    I understand that your HP Deskjet 2542 gives you the error: 'the specified module could not be found' when installing to USB, on Windows XP.
    I would recommend going through the steps in this post, Re: Install Error "The system cannot find the file specified" (hpzprl40.exe). When you get to the printer install wizard section, just use the full feature software and drivers found at this website, HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers. As the printer install wizard is only for Windows 7 and up.
    Hope this is helpful, and thank you for posting!

  • Error code; original file could not be found, would you like to locate it?

    when i try to transfer songs from my library to my ipod shuffle, i get this error message (error code; original file could not be found, would you like to locate it?). Then an exclamation point(!) in the first column it appears next to the song in the library.
    When i go to the folder mymusic/itunes/itunesmusic folder, the song is there, but why is there an exclamation point next to the song in the library? And how do I restore all these songs, and what causes this?

    Sounds like your iTunes .ITL library file got corrupted.
    What are the iTunes library files?
    There are some posts around here by Buegie on how to fix that...

  • Error :the specified module could not be found --oci.dll  : Oracle9i

    hi ,
    i m trying to connect thru my java code to the oracle on my system ,while creating the DSN it gives the error
    "the specified module could not be found" for the file oci.dll.
    earlier it was not able to look for the sqresus.dll which i copied to the winnt/system directory , and after this oci error is coming , anyone knowing it please guide
    with regards,

    Make sure it is the same version of 9i (i.e. 9.0.x or 9.2.x) for both OO4O and ODBC. Also make sure that the ORACE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\BIN directory is in your search path AND last, check your windows directories and subdirectories for duplicate copies of OCI.DLL (or anywhere else on the PC for that matter). Sometimes MicroSoft will include one and it is usually an OLD one.

  • Error message - Original file could not be found

    When I open itunes, and try to click on a song, there is an "!" and I get the error message "original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    It does this for every song. I have to trace it down to "My Music\itunes\itunes\itunes music" and under that I have hundreds of files by artist.
    How can I listen to the songs so I don't have to click on each one to make them play?
    I hope you can help me.

    First, a correction from my previous post: At the beginning I meant to write The iPod wasn't designed to sync playlist-related information back to iTunes.
    And as for the polydorus link, let's try this .
    Sorry about that.
    Does that make sense? Do I need both folders?
    No, in the end you'll only need one but I'm still not sure which one.
    *I think the difference is there are no folders like in wndows, but the itunes library leads me directly to my library on the itunes website
    I don't understand what you mean by the itunes library leads me directly to my library on the itunes website.
    It sounds like there is only one iTunes database - iTunes Library.itl - file and that it's in your iTunes1 folder. Whether or not that is the case, what I'd like you to do is follow the instructions in this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for opening an alternate iTune Library file. Select the Choose Library option and use the navigtion window that appears to make your way to an .itl file.
    Select the .itl and iTunes will open with a Library that may - or may not - be different than what you last saw: somewhat different contents or exclamation marks may be present again.
    If it's not a library you're happy with, close iTunes, wait ten seconds or so and then repeat the procedure looking for another .itl file - each one contains references for a different iTunes library.
    When you find a library you're happy with, i.e. all the contents are listed and no exclamation marks, make a note of the location of that .itl. It's the one you're going to want to work with.
    Using that database file, you can go back to iTunes, right-click various songs > Get Info > Summary tab and look to the bottom of that window to find out where that Library is being directed for those files. Make a note of that location.
    When we know those two things, we should be able to proceed from there with deleting things.
    In the future, when I buy new songs from apple, where will they automatically get stored?
    In the location that's been selected in iTunes Edit menu > Preferences > Advanced tab for the iTunes Music folder.
    What will happen when I sync my ipod on the computer?
    That brings us back to the beginning of this post, by default the synch goes from iTunes to your iPod. So you shouldn't synch your iPod unless there's a satisfactory Library being displayed in iTunes.
