After failed installation from DVD unable to uninstall to retry - Error message 2343

Having started installation of Elements 12 from DVD it failed before completing the installation and then rolled back the last two items on the installation list (out of 3). Now when running the DVD again it endeavours to do an uninstall before trying a reinstall. However it is unable to complete the uninstall process and fails every time with the Error 2343 - specified path is empty. Suggested options such as deleting temporary files and doing a clean boot produce exactlly the same result. This is on a Windows 7 Pro x64 PC with 8GB RAM and an i3 processor and 500GB disc with over 200GB free. It would seem that the only solution to remove the software is to edit the registry, as the standard uninstall process is clearly not going to complete. I therefore need to know what registry edits are needed in order to remove the programme complately from the PC. Otherwise it is clear that it is never going to be possible to install the software, which makes it rather a waste of money!

I had already tried that I'm afraid, without success. I therefore tried the installation on a different PC, also Windows7 Pro x64 but with different hardware (AMD proc., different disk controller and different DVD ROM but also with 8GB RAM and plenty of available disk space). The only other common parameter to note is that both PCs are running Bitdefender antivirus software. However I allow the AV software to completely check the Photoshop Elements 12 DVD ROM before starting the install process, as this can take severla minutes, so that the AV software does not need to access the DVD ROM drive during the install process. The software installation failed during the installation of the Shared Technologies scetion exactly as on the previous PC. I can only conclude that either there is a problem with Windows 7 Pro x64 or Bitdefender compatibility and that it will not be possible to install this software on either of these PCs in its current form. There has to be a limit as to how much time one is willing to spend on overcoming an incompatibility like this. I think I will have to find an alternative photo editing product (the Serif trial product seems to load without any problems on the original PC!). Thank you anyway for your help and suggestions but I think in this case we have hit a brick wall.

A: my MacBook Air becomes unresponsive when logging in, and I decided to reinstall OS X Lion. When running the installer from OS X Recovery, it gave the error message "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again."

I encountered the same exact problem when I attempted to re-installed OSX Lion on an old laptop. The date was set back in 2000, which rendered the certificate obsolete. Here's how I fixed it:
From the recovery menu, select the Terminal application. Run the 'date' command to confirm the date is wrong, then set the correct date using this command: date {month}{day}{hour}{minute}{year}
e.g. date 1219195613
Exit terminal (type exit). Retry the installation.

    OK. If you believe that.
    When the disk is starting to die it can be bad for a moment and then be good for a while. If there was no problem while you were checking it of course it shows up good.
    I tell you those are the signs of a disk that is about to die.

  • How do the application servers connect the new database after failing over from primary DB to standby DB

    How do the application servers connect the new database after failing over from primary DB to standby DB?
    We have setup a DR environment with a standalone Primary server and a standalone Physical Standby server on RHEL Linux 6.4. Now our application team would like to know:
    When the primary DB server is crashed, the standy DB server will takeover the role of primary DB through the DataGuard fast failover. As the applications are connected by the primary DB IP before,currently the physical DB is used as a different IP or listener. If this is happened, they need to stop their application servers and re-configure their connection so the they coonect the new DB server, they cannot tolerate these workaround. 
    Whether does oracle have the better solution for this so that the application can automatically know the role's transition and change to the new IP without re-confige any connection and shutdown their application?
    Oracle support provides us the answer as following:
    ==================================================================
    Applications connected to a primary database can transparently failover to the new primary database upon an Oracle Data Guard role transition. Integration with Fast Application Notification (FAN) provides fast failover for integrated clients.
    After a failover, the broker publishes Fast Application Notification (FAN) events. These FAN events can be used in the following ways:
    Applications can use FAN without programmatic changes if they use one of these Oracle integrated database clients: Oracle Database JDBC, Oracle Database Oracle Call Interface (OCI), and Oracle Data Provider for .NET ( ODP.NET). These clients can be configured for Fast Connection Failover (FCF) to automatically connect to a new primary database after a failover.
    JAVA applications can use FAN programmatically by using the JDBC FAN application programming interface to subscribe to FAN events and to execute event handling actions upon the receipt of an event.
    FAN server-side callouts can be configured on the database tier.
    FAN events are published using Oracle Notification Services (ONS) and Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing (AQ).
    =======================================================================================
    Who has the experience and the related documentation or other solutions? we don't have the concept of about FAN.
    Thank very much in advance.

    Hi mesbeg,

    For example, there is an application JBOSS server connecting the DB, we just added another datasource and put the standby IP into the configuration file except adding a service on DB side like this following:

    If the failover is occurred, the JBOSS will automatically be pointed to the standby DB. Additional actions are not needed.

    My Acrobat 8 Pro is failing to print to a pdf from multiple software.  I get an error message that a repair fixes but only for a little while.  Pretty soon the trial version of 9 that I installed pops up telling me it has expired but it would take me to a way to buy a valid serial number and then 8 stops working again.  I’d be happy if the 8 I paid for worked right or I could get 9 for a small cost but I cannot afford $450 or $20/month.  I need a permanent solution that I should be already paid for with 8 pro.

    After multiple repair procedures with reboot in AA8 I was eventually able to restore the printing to pdf function from various software.  However I have again lost my Acrobat tab in Outlook 2007.  I need that back, but today an even bigger problem arose.  AA8 has stopped printing to fax.  It faxes a blank page.  The only fax printing option is “Microsoft Shared Fax Driver”.  My fax software is “Windows Fax and Scan” and it was working fine just a couple weeks ago.  My OS is Windows 7 Professional.

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

    Hi Friend,
    Please check whether or not there is view missing error recorded in dev_w0 trace file.
    if there is , you can try to follow this procedure in order to manually
    import the missing view definitions.
    All steps must be carried out with the <sid>adm user of the target
    system and from the install-directory:
    1. In the install-directory
    <sapinst_instdir>\...COPY\IMPORTT\SYSTEM\ABAP\ORA\UC\DB
    create a file SAPVIEW.cmd with the following content:
    tsk: "<sapinst_instdir>\...\COPY\IMPORT\SYSTEM\ABAP\ORA\UC\DB\SAPVIEW.TSK"
    icf: "
    <YOUR_EXPORT_DIRECTORY>\export\DATA\SAPVIEW.STR"
    dcf: "<sapinst_instdir>\...\COPY\IMPORT\SYSTEM\ABAP\ORA\UC\DB\DDLORA.TPL"
    dat: null
    dir: null
    ext: null
    Please make sure that all paths are written correctly (in one line) and
    the refered files are existant and readable. One exception:
    The SAPVIEW.TSK file is created with step 2.:
    2. Run from the command-line:
    R3load -ctf I
    <YOUR_EXPORT_DIRECTORY>\export\DATA\SAPVIEW.STR <sapinst_instdir>\...\COPY\IMPORT\SYSTEM\ABAP\ORA\UC\DB\DDLORA.TPL SAPVIEW.TSK ORA -l SAPVIEW.log
    If there's a problem reading the 'SAPVIEW.STR' file, copy the
    file to the install directory and adapt the path accordingly.
    3. Run the view import by:
    R3load.exe -i SAPVIEW.cmd -dbcodepage <YOUR_CODE_PAGE> -l SAPVIEW.log
    -stop_on_error
    4. Check both the SAPVIEW.log and the SAPVIEW.TSK file whether all views
    have been created successfully.
    If 4. is okay, restart the central instance and check whether you are
    able to log on now. If yes, continue 'sapinst' by the option 'retry' or
    'continue old installation'.
    I Hope It can be helpful.
    With Best Regards

  • Satellite L300-H02: DVD/CD drive don't work - Error message 39

    Hi all,
    I just purchased a Toshiba Laptop, running Vista Premium Home Edition, and after a massive Windows update download, the DVD-CD drive didnt work. Error message 39, corrupt or missing driver. The driver isnt missing, so it must be corrupt. Am savvy with regedit regarding removal of upper and lower filters from the registry, except havent action the removal yet, as there doesnt appear to be an upper filter listed. Only the lower filter.
    Also, the information states you may lose functionality in certain programs such as CD recording programs. In this scenario, you must reinstall any affected programs. which is a problem, as Vista etc. was already loaded and no other software came with the laptop.
    Im a little chicken to go ahead and remove the lower filter registry entry, seeing as theres no upper entry to delete, plus I've heard some people can't write to CD after removing the filters in the registry.
    Where can I get information on the CD-rom drive for this model: pslboa-08h022 ?
    There isn't any information on it in the System Information.
    Thanks in advance folks, Anniebird

    Thanks andrej, I appreciate your help.
    This seems to be the only solution I've been able to track down, although I was looking for a better one. I rang Toshiba support, and they said Toshiba could not be held responsible for any advice followed on the Windows website.
    If the filters aren't necessary to the running of the DVD drive, why are they there? I don't want an impaired DVD-OM drive that is unable to function in writing mode.
    Toshiba phone support said to remove the hardware from the Device Manager (CD-Rom Drive with ! displayed), then download a new driver from: http://www.isd.toshiba.com.au/drivers
    I have a feeling this driver is already on my computer, but will follow through with his advice. If this doesn't work, he said the only other thing to do would be a system restore. Which means reinstalling ALL the programs and files I so laboriously installed a few days ago.
    I only purchased this notebook on the 11th September!!! I am fast becoming disillusioned with both Toshiba and Windows Vista. I want a first rate product functioning as it should, not a headache to be endured.
