A program designed for windows will not install

I have been trying install the latest version of the Roche Accu-Chek Compass software on my new MacBook with Leopard, Bootcamp and the latest updated version of Windows XP all installed. The installation disk is OK (It installs on another PC OK. Accu-Chek support have been unable to help so far. I wonder if anyone else has had similar problems or can make any suggestions? The install wizard appears to start OK but then stops and a pop-up headed Install Error detected appears, saying "Install encountered an unexpected error please try again"
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I have found a solution! Download and install VM Fusions then install Accu-Chek Compass - it then works like a dream. In fact I am delighted with VM Fusions it seems work in the way I had hoped that Bootcamp would. I have obtained the 30 day trial version from
http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
Hope this helps. ( I have no connection with VM Ware other than as a potential customer)

  • ICloud Control Panel for Windows will not install on Win 7 64-bit

    I already installed iTunes 10.5 and I downloaded the iCloud Control Panel for Windows and when I tried installing it I got the following error message:
    I cannot find a a 64-bit of iCloud (if that is what I need). The 64-bit iTunes installed ok. What am I doing wrong?

    I don't know how to answer that question, Rob, or why I would be able to. Obviously people will have different configutrations. It really just points to the question I am asking. I can only assume Adobe hasn't tested it thoroighly enough and is not making any effort to find out why, which suggests to me they don't really care enough about their users to bother. This issue has been raised often enough and nothing has been done.

  • The latest itunes for windows will not install

    I have an old PC running windows and I want to transfer my itunes songs to my ipad. I can't do this until I update iTunes but trying to update does nothing, either from iTunes or from the web page. I've tried rebooting the PC, still doesn't work. How do I get iTunes to update? Or, how do I transfer to the iPad without updating? The version of iTunes I have is older than 10.5, not sure where to find version #. Thanks!

    Hi b noir, thanks for offering to help. i documented the whole process:
    Itunes transfer from pc to ipad.
    1. Connect ipad to PC 
    2. Pc recognizes ipad as a camera, gives me list of programs to launch, not sure if this has any relevance, no itunes on list, instead its kodak easyshare, ms doc wizard, ms camera sharing, ms word,mp navagator ex, omnipage, photoshop - I ignore this screen
    3. Launch itunes, get screen, "ipad requires v 10.5 or later' go to itunes.com. I click ok
    4. I get screen, still in itunes, "a new version (10.7) is available." I click download.
    5. That screen goes away but nothing happens. No download starts.
    6. Checked itunes folder on my hard drive, no sign that anything new has downloaded
    7. Launch safari, go to itunes.com, hit download button
    8. Nothing seems to be happening.
    9. I get "thank you for downloading itunes" screen.
    10. Still nothing new in itunes folder.
    11. Get AVG screen telling me to restart my pc to finish download process.
    12. During shutdown, I get screen,"the instruction at 0x100066dd referenced memory at 0x100066dd. The instruction could not be read." Gave me options to terminate program or debug. I did not choose either. No idea if this is relevant.
    13. PC rebooted anyway.
    14. Launched itunes
    15. Got same message as before - "ipad requires v 10.5 or later' go to itunes.com. I click ok 
    16. Even though ipad is plugged in all this time, the screen that thinks the ipad is a camera does not come up this time.
    17. There is nothing to the left of the itunes interface that lists devices - this is where ipad would appear, right?
    18. Ipad appears on My Computer control panel
    19. My version of itunes is 10.3.1.55
    20. In itunes, i go to Help - Run Diagnostics - run all but Cd/Dvdtest
    21. Secure Link to Itunes store failed, everything before that is ok. I click Help. nothing happens. Store appears in itunes so I don't see why this would fail.
    22. Since help doesn't work, I move on in test. Two more fail screens: itunes helper not running, no ipad found. help brings up appropriate pages for both. Both recommend removing and reinstalling itunes.
    23. Device sync also fails.
    If it would be quickest to delete and reinstall itunes, I am willing to do that. My music would not be deleted correct? What about playlists (not as important to me).
    I also have all my music backed up to CD. It would be tedious to copy that all to ipad, but if there is a way to do it and no other option, I could do that.

  • Itunes for windows will not install

    SInce Christmas, I have tried installing iTunes for my Ipod shuffle. I have NIS and I've followed some instructions I found on a thread to add itunes and ipod into my programs and "permit all"- that usually freezes the computer. I wind up sending error reports to windows and cold booting the computor. I think I successfully installed both itunes and ipod into My Computer/Downloads. However- - neither via shortcut on my desktop or thru programs can I access itunes. The icon is there, and nothing happens. I am pretty sure it has to do wit NIS. In one instance I did try disabling the security and firewall features- but a lot of crap got onto my desktop. help!

    Kellie,
    remind me, did you try an EWIDO scan? Sounds like a malware problem to me. Go download EWIDO, its free and the only program that I know of that is catching the particular variant of malware that is blocking iTunes. Its a nasty bug that started showing up in October or so.
    The website is www.ewido.net/en/
    Use that scan about twice a week. It blows Mcafee and Norton out of the water.
    Good Luck.
    PS I recommend picking up LsvaSoft's AdAware SE, its free and available for free downloads on their website. It scans and removes spyware. Use that twice a week as well to maintain a healthy PC.

  • Photoshop CS6 for windows will not install.

    I have already copied the lesson files to my hard drive as the book instructs, however there is no autorun screen, or even a shortcut/icon that says Adobe Photoshop, the same applies for Adobe Bridge. What am I doing wrong? I need this for a college course and have already missed an assignment because I cannot get it to work. Please help?

    Products
    Here is a link to the Student Store -- you should be eligible for a discount through your school. I don't see CS6 on there, so you may have to get the cloud instead to get the discount. (You can find out from the chat window that will show up if you stay on the page for a few minutes). If you just need Photoshop, the Photographers bundle is the best deal.

Please help, I must have downloaded quicktime 30 times and it still doesn't work. Any advice would help, so please get back to me.

  • Newest version of Firefox for Windows will not install.

    After the auto update of Firefox failed to work, I downloaded the full installation file for the most recent version of Firefox (28.0). The setup file extracts but doesn't install. I also cannot find the extracted file(s) on my computer. I have tried uninstalling older versions, running antivirus, anti-rootkit and malware programs and also disabling those programs before trying to install. Any other suggestions I can try?

    I downloaded thesetup "part" for itunes 11 on windows. It fails to do anything.

  • Itunes 7.0 for windows will not install Error 1392

    I get an error message when i try to update to 7.0 It says could not set security file for file 'C:\documents and settings\all users\application data/apple computer/itunes/SCinfo\'.Error1392

    Hopglock,
    You have your permissions on that folder or another folder in the hierarchy set to read only permission or some other security lock down. You need to turn off read only or change security permission so that the iTunes installer can write to
    the
    C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\apple computer\itunes\SCinfo
    folder.

  • Safari for Windows will not log into IIS sites with Windows Authentication

    Safari for Windows will not log into IIS sites with Windows Authentication enabled. The IIS log has thousands of login attempts from Safari that result in 401 errors.
    I disable Windows Authentication on IIS and it works fine. The problem with that is that my Windows clients stop working properly with seemless logins when I disable this.
    The expected behavior is that Safari will work with basic authentication when NTLM does not work. That would result in a password prompt followed by a successful login instead of Safari stopping at "Loading" while hammering the IIS logs.
    It does this on all machines that I have tried.
    Any ideas or is this a bug?

    I noticed that as well. I have to wonder if it's due to not making note of the the different end of line characters between Mac OS X and Windows in code.

  • HT4839 the  iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6/2.2 for Windows will not start up/load anymore.

    Hello.
    the  iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6 for Windows will not start up/load anymore.
    It worked fine at first, then I tried to start it up today and I got an error:
    failed to create an ipc port access is denied
    Now there is no message at all. Just wont launch.
    I find NO support at Apple. I have seen about 20 other cries for help on these forums and no seems to have received any help for this. Does anyone know how to get this Utility working?
    I am using Windows XP SP3
    I have tried upgrdading to .NET 4 SP1 from .NET 3.5 SP1 and that didnt work so went back the other way and still no change.
    I tried completely uninstalling and deleting all references in Regedit and reinstalling from the start about 4 times.
    I tried completely uninstalling and then going back to an older version (2.2) and it doesn't work either.
    Unfortunately there is no help on Apply that I can find and trying to find an -actual email support for Apple software or products is a joke- (man, nothing is more aggravating when you need product help and the provider hides or completely does away with any way to contact them for help ro sends you on an hour long search for it...)
    I need to get this working as I am providing an easy iphone configure for my VPN service. Can anyone help?
    THanks!!

  • Update for keynote will not install...how to remove update or ignore?

    How can I ignore an update for Keynote that will not install? I also have an update for my printer that I have installed 4 times but it still shows as needing to be installed?

    Try hiding the Keynote app in the Trash where the Mac App Store can't see it. Then try to redownload it from your Purchases list. You should get the most recent version available.

  • Unable to Burn CDs in iTunes for Windows: (Will not fit, but it should.)

    I am attempting to fix an issue with a friend's iTunes for Windows. Although previously this computer using this media was able to burn audio CDs through iTunes, recently, an error has appeared before any burn. When loading the proper amount of time to fit on a CD, iTunes claims:
    "The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD"
    "Do you want to create multiple Audio CDs with this playlist split across them?"
    "This will require more than one CD to complete."

  • Windows will not install under Mavericks

    I am trying to install W7, again, under Mavericks and I cannot do so. Every thing seem to be installed but at start, I get a message that "BOOTMGR is missing, press ctl+alt+delete to restart", but the keyboard (wired and working) will not function so I can do nothing. I have tried more than once. I am trying to install W7 Home Premium and it is a legit disc. I installed the same disc under SN and all was fine.

    Are you using Boot Camp, if so then please re-post in the Boot Camp forum. If you are using a virtualization app (Parallels, Fusion, etc) please post in that forum.
    These are the best methods for installed Windows, this is a general iMac forum while there are a few people that post here that know MS Windows most are OS X oriented.
    Good luck.
