ZCM 10 SP3 Beta failed to install properly

We have a test ZCM installation and working towards production. We really need the features added in SP3 beta so I went to install on our test 10.2.1 primary server. Followed the instructions and added the zip file to ZCC and then deployed the update to our only primary server/embedded sybase ZCM box. There is little to nothing built in the database at this time. The primary server is running OES2 SP1 and completely failed to update as I can no longer log in.
After the update I rebooted the server and I launch the ZCC. When I try to log in as administrator I get this error: Login Error: org.hibernate.HibernateException: JDBC Driver class not found: ianywhere.ml.jdbcodbc.IDriver
It looks like some component is updated and looking for a dependency that maybe didn't make it (related to Sybase, the ianywhere piece).
Anyone have any ideas?
ZCC.log states:

  • Current update failed to install properly. Downloaded current version and now I have the error message regarding MSVCR80.dll Itunes worked well to before the update. How can I correct this error?

    An update was downloaded and failed to install properly. When I tried to use the old Itunes, I get the message "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer". I then received the message "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes"I tried reinstalling with the same error message. I then uninstalled the old version, downloaded the new version and still received the same message. How do I solve this problem?

    Followed mspanner's instructions and was able to correct the problem. Thanks for the help.

  • I have tried to install Mountain Lion but it has failed to install properly

    I have tried to install mountain lion but it has failed to install

    If you open Finder and open your Applications folder list, under the alphabetically listed "I"'s you should see an application called "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app", if it downloaded OK.  This is the package that you double click on to begin installation of Mountain Lion.  Have you already done this?
    Hope this helps

  • ITunes 9.2.1 Freezing Computer, Failing to Install Properly

    I've run iTunes on my Dell Inspiron 1454 for over a year. I have Windows Vista Home. I updated iTunes to 9.2.1 about 2 weeks ago.
    I started having serious problems on my computer. Software such as iTunes, MS Word, and Mozilla Firefox would take several minutes to load, and iTunes would not load at all. My computer took 5 minutes to shut down and up to 15 minutes to boot up. Over the next 2 days of troubleshooting tactics, I uninstalled most of my software to try to find the problem. I had even uninstalled iTunes, but the problem remained. (My iTunes library stayed in place.) I finally used a windows utility that listed iTunes.exe and AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe as "Causing Windows to Shut Down Very Slowly." But I'd already uninstalled all of that software. So, I went to the recycle bin and cleared these. My computer instantly started working fine.
    I have since tried again to download iTunes 9.2.1, but every time I get the same result: my computer completely freezes. I can't use my mouse and can't pull up the task manager. I have to manually restart my computer.
    I have also tried downloading the previous version of iTunes. These download fine, but when I try to open them, I get an error message along the lines of "iTunes can't open these files, because they were created by a newer version of iTunes." So basically, I have no access to about $300 of songs.
    I can't use my iPod (3rd Gen) either, as it froze about 2 weeks ago and I need to sync it with iTunes to fix it. I used to have my iPod set as an external harddrive so all my songs were backed up onto it, but that was last year and I'm no 100% sure all of my newer purchases have been backed up into my iPod. I don't believe my iPod ever synced with iTunes 9.2.1.
    I do have my current iTunes library backed up to an external harddrive, but they were backed up after I had installed iTunes 9.2.1.
    Things I've tried:
    - Emptying the Temp Directory
    - Installing older versions of iTunes
    - Installing iTunes 9.2.1 and then immediately deleting the downloaded executable file
    Any help would be tremendously appreciated!

    I started having serious problems on my computer. Software such as iTunes, MS Word, and Mozilla Firefox would take several minutes to load, and iTunes would not load at all. My computer took 5 minutes to shut down and up to 15 minutes to boot up.

  • Itunes failed to install properly / disc recording not found

    Bought my daughter a new notebook (hp pavillion dv9000 w/ windows vista)& every time I install itunes the error message that it was "not installed correctly & may not import from cd's be able to burn cd's" appears. I've uninstalled itunes & quicktime and then reinstalled several times only to have the same error. All updates are done. Itunes will recognize a cd in the drive and import, but when attemting to burn to cd it displays "disc recording not found". Couldn't find anything on the support page. Any one care to offer any help for a frustrated father?

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • I did the upgrade to Itunes 11.1.1.1 and it failed to install properly

    It halted at "moving items into place", Itunes will no longer start. I have repaired permissions but to no avail. ITunes won't restore from Time Machine. What can I do to fix this ?

    Restore your system software.
    Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access the builit in utilities in OS X Recovery
    From there you can restore OS X.
    OS X Recovery requires a high speed broadband connection.
    Backup all your important files before restoring OS X just in case.
    That should bring Mac software up to date including iTunes.

  • ITunes 10.5 keeps failing to install - missing components

    Hi, I'm really hoping someone can help me - I went to upgrade to 10.5 (64-bit). Initially I was told that it failed to install properly and I would have to manually install the different components (yeah I'm a tech-moron), which I tried to. But they kept failing to install.
    So I uninstalled iTunes. And I then re-installed. But this is now now working.
    I keep getting a dialogue box telling me that "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes, Error 7 (windows error 126)" or words to that effect.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do. This is especially urgent for me as my 4S is in the post! And yeah, like I said I'm a moron about stuff like this so step-by-step assistance would be really appreciated. Thanks!

    After reading all these posts, one by one did not resolve my problem until I got the very end.  Regardless of what step would resolve your problem, these are the steps I would recomment to everyone for a what seems to be a safe and fool-proof upgrade to iTunes 10.5.
    1. Stand alone upgrade to the latest Quicktime version
    2. Go to control panel and "change" then select repair to the following applications in the order specified by the post on Oct 27. (Notice I skipped Quicktime because it had been upgrade manually,and Bonjour did not have a "repair" option)
    iTunes; Apple Software Update: Mobile Device Support; Apple Applications Support
    Some of these applications may not appear if they do not apply to your configuration (no iPhone, or no iPad, or other apple devices).
    Once all updated, I did not need to restart nor launch any applications, I simply went straight into the 10.5 upgrade, and where it normally got stuck, this time the installation continued for a while longer until it completed successfully.
    Great work everyone who contributed!  Thank you very much!

  • Photoshop 7 Fails to Install WIN XP SP3

    Hi:<br /><br />I can not get a new in the box version of PS 7 to install on WIN XP SP3.<br />Using D:\Photoshop\Setup.exe sometimes nothing happens, then 10 minutes later the opening screen shows up, click NEXT, then accept the T&Cs, then the progress bar shows no progress.  <CTRL><ALT><DEL> shows not responding.<br /><br />There are a couple of FAQs relating to permissions.  This computer has a single user and in Control Panel - User Accounts - this account is the administrator.<br /><br />Please help since Adobe does not support this product.<br />Brooke Clarke<br />[email protected]

    >a) Would going into the same user in Safe Mode have fixed it?
    not alone, unless the problem was with a component instead of an installer confusion in the temp folder.
    >b) I gave up on clearing temp folders a long time ago because of a lack of results. Explain to me the steps of clearing temp folders, maybe I've always done it wrong
    I usually leave mine alone too- well every now and then. just delete all the files from them you can (c:\docs & settings\user\local settings\temp, c:\temp, c:\windows\temp)
    usually there's no problem but occasionally an installer will leave part of itself in temp where by odd coincidence (or not so odd, because there are relatively few install apps that systems use - wise and install shield probably 2 of the most used) has a file that's got the same name as one the new installer expects. so it starts reading from that one instead. now the whole install gets screwy.
    >However I have seen some success with grabbing the hidden Install Wizard folder and dragging it to the desktop, doing the install, the putting it back.
    yes, me too. saves time when troubleshooting and the app that fails to install keeps deleting the install files! :)
    > The way I see it, just get on a new admin install the thing, then delete the user. Who cares "why?" if it works, right?
    oh, i misunderstood. i thought you were advocating KEEPING that new admin user as the main user. that's what i mean is a pita having to move settings over from the old acct. to the new one... i guess that CAN work, sometimes, but not always. some apps (not sure if photoshop is among them) want you to install under the user account that will be running it.
    just another tool to keep in the arsenal... :)
