Attempted Installation

I am working on Sams Teach Yourself Visual Basic 2012 In 24 Hours. Hour 21, Working with a Database, requires the installation of SQL Server Express. I went to the web site and downloaded and installed it. I do not see the program in the programs list, and
when I try to open an MDF file, it doesn't know what to open it with.
Naturally, my VB command fails to open the database and there are numerous error messages. Command is below.
m_cn.ConnectionString =
"Data Source = .\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename = C:\Temp\Test.mdf;"&
"Integrated Security = True; Connect Timeout = 30; User Instance = True"
Any help in figuring out what happened to my SQL Express would be appreciated.

Yes, I am at the gray screen with the Apple on it. I guess what I am describing are the "spoke" things going around.

Odd error message when attempting installation of iTunes 8

When I try to install the iTunes 8 (the most recent version), I get an odd error message and am unable to successfully complete the installation. This is the message:
Could not access network location
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\
This message is then followed by Retry or Cancel; Retry has not worked at all with the same error message popping up. There is no error number that I can see. After I finally hit cancel out of frustration, this message shows up:
The installation of QuickTime did not complete successfully. iTunes requires QuickTime.
I think that the first message occurs during the program's attempt to do QuickTime before the iTunes. I tried downloading and upgrading QuickTime separately, but that was also unsuccessful. I do now have an earlier version of QuickTime on my computer, but that is only because I recently added some software (Rosetta Stone to be exact) that requires the 5.0 version and downloads it automatically. I also have tried the troubleshooting tips on the Apple site.
My computer is a Dell, with Windows XP Home Edition. I do have the second Service Pack from Microsoft, and should have all of the latest updates. Please help! I'm getting really frustrated with my computer and have no idea on what to do next.

When you get a message about not being able to access a network location you usually need the Microsoft installer cleanup utility.
Here is a method:
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

I can't get my serial number accepted when attempting installation

My Elements 10 quit working so I purchased the Elements 12 ($150.00). In attempting to install, it won't accept the enclosed serial number (also called Redemption Code). To say the least, I'm pretty ticked off with Adobe.....I only used the Adobe Elements 10 package a year and suddenly it's useless. I called your service dept., got a "foreign speaking" person who told me he could "fix it" for $150.00. What's next.....do you now want me to "buy" another serial number?

Hi Artsy,

Mac Pro will not reboot after Bootcamp attempted installation

I have an older quad-core 2009 Mac Pro. I tried to install Bootcamp before realizing that it's not supported. Now the Mac Pro will not reboot.
It starts up fine. It shuts down fine. But it just will not reboot. When I try to reboot, it just clicks like it's trying to boot to a DVD or a drive that's not there (I have since formatted the drive I was using for Bootcamp and use it for Time Machine now).
This is what I have tried:
- PRAM reset
- SMC reset
What could be keeping my Mac Pro from rebooting properly?? Please help. Thank you!!

So you tried with Mac and Windows on same drive?
And you have Recovery partition.
You made a clone with CCC as well and cloned the Recovery
Paragon makes a couple programs to make life easier.
And, Well, Boot Camp works. There are unwritten rules. There is a forum devoted to it.
2009 is not old. Old is pre-2008 due to UEFI / EFI64 and how Windows 64-bit now looks during install.
It did install but the drivers and updates and such might be an issue.
Apple does not support HFS arrays, not just that Windows won't install but to mount, their Apple HFS driver.
You left out so much and maybe your IT didn't include Windows on Mac.
www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
In general pull all your drives during install except that one Windows will be installed on.
Do get video driver from ATI etc yourself
Tell us what version, I assume Windows 8 which works fine other than a few issues - more with MacBook series and iMac or Mac Mini lines.

Attempting retail install CS6, but failed installation occurs every attempt on Win7x64

First off, appologies for this post, I'm a bit flustered.
New Win7x64 computer and an attempt to install retail CS6 have failed. I now get the following error message upon each install attempt: "Installer failed to initialize. File not found. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem". I did, and with some internet issues I finally sent in a report. I tried the Cleaner tool several times, no help. I attempted to remove a registry entry as described in a "bootstrapper error" fix, but that particular "InProgress Key" does not exist.
I even attempted to download and install a trial of CS6, but upon attempting to install I yet again recieved the same error message.
What is my next move?
As with anyone else with an issue, I just want to intstall CS6 and be on my way. I also own retail LR3 and Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 (plug-in), but I will not attempt to install those UNTILL I can resolve the CS6 install issue. I need all 3 of these programs, now.
Once again, thank you for any assistance that can be provided.
Jason

I solved my issue with a work around that I can live with, but I still have questions about why my CS6 disk would not install originally.
Okay, I decided to create a new Admin User account and shut down AV. In the new Amin user account I loaded the CS6 disk, I was returned with a":you must restart" error. I did. Re-loaded CS6, I got the installer, I got the ueula, I got the product key page, I finally got into the authorized product screen, then when trying to log in my log in stalled for 15 minutes. Just a gray screen with no other options but to shut the install down with Task Manager. I did, and waited for the program to end on it's own, and NOT selecting the End Now option. I started the process again, got the the sign in and I stalled again. The third time finally got me conected, and I was then able to instal CS6x64 on my New Admin User account.
Once finished, I checked the program, good. I then shut down and restarted, but logged onto my original Admin user account. CS6x64 is there and fully functional, and plug in Silver Efex Pro 2 was added no problem.
So I am pleased I got the install working and I can fully use the program as intended, I still have questions about the issues that would not allow me to install normally.
Thank you all for looking, and thank you Curt for your responces. I think I will still call Adobe and run this by them.

Mac installation says Safari is open, but it is not.

MPBr
OSX 10.8.3
Adobe Flash Player Version 11.7.700.169
Tried to install newest version of flash player when prompted.
Flash installer says that Safari is open and it can not continue, so I check my tasks and Safari is not open. I open safari and then close it with CMD+Q to ensure all instances are closed. This does not work.
Restart my computer to ensure that safari isn't open. Attempt installation again with fresh restart. Flash installer says that Safari is open and it can not continue.
Can not install newest version of Flash, nor can I locate information pertaining to this issue.
Any help is appreciated (assuming that it's not a problem with the latest installer which will be remedied shortly).
Thanks

Mike M, your suggestion for rebooting ingores the fact that, depending how your system is set up, your computer may restart Safari on reboot, either because it was open before or because it is set as a Login item. In any case, rebooting shouldn't be necessary. Adobe used to include a utility in the installer which allowed you to force Safari to close and killed associate processes at the same time. It would save a lot of trouble if they reintroduced that. Also, there are other programs, such as FaceTab, which will cause the Flash installer to say that Safari is running (perhaps they are using WebKit).
The option to "reopen windows on restart" (meanign to restore applications) and the login items are BOTH user set. The reopening when the reboot is executed, by checkign a box specificaly to do that, and the other in the system preferences, requiring entry of the admin password before apps can be added. Anyone who has knows how to do either, would certainly know that a reboot withthe box checked would reopen Safari, and would know that they have to terminate the process manually. Most people DON'T have Safari set as a login item, however. There are some "widgets" that will try to connect through Safari, and Facetab can a f;ase positive too, but onyl if it's a login item.
It would be nice to have the force quit in the installer, but as one of the top posters in the Apple forums told me, OS X has changed since 10.6, to be more like iOS. One of the significant changes with Lion and it was refined in Mt. Lion and Mavericks, is the "Gatekeeper" which keeps apps from running if the developer can't be identified. If Apple lags on updating Gatekeeper definitions, a brand new update launching the force quit would hit a snag at that point and people would be right back here asking what to do. Not having it facilitates the install IMHO.
Currently I'm running 10.6.8, 10.7.5, 10.8.5 and 10.9 and I haven't run into the "You must close Safari" warning when it was closed. I don't use Facetab, and I only have widgets installed on my Mavericks machine. I've trashed them all on the others.

Missing Mac Mini Restore DVD disk 2, need to Cancel Installation

hi, I'm a Mac newbie. I recently bought a mac mini from someone. Unfortunately, I didn't realize at the time that there should be 2 restore dvds instead of just one (I thought the Os X Tiger drop in dvd was the 2nd dvd).
I'm trying to reinstall the OS X along w/the software b/c I ran into some problems with the Mac mini. But when I get to the screen that says, "please insert Disk 2", I have no disk 2. I can't cancel the installation b/c the Cancel button is grayed out. I tried shut down and restart the computer from disc one directly, but after click through a series of Next buttons, it only leads me to the same screen.
Now I can't use my Mac mini at all. Short of fork over $40 for a replacement dvd from Apple, is there anyway I can restore to the previous point prior to my attempted installation/cancel the current installation?
Much thanks in advance.
Mac Mini 1.25 ghz Mac OS X (10.4)

"is there anyway I can restore to the previous point prior to my attempted installation/cancel the current installation?"
No, sorry. That is not a feature of Mac OS.
If you have an Apple retail store nearby head on over there, explain your situation and see if they'd be willing to copy the 2nd disc for you.

How can I resolve installation errors DF024 & DF037 for CS5.5 on Mac?

Please help. I've gone through the forum posts, as well as searched the Internet, and find the matter daunting. Have tried to implement a solution and may have caused more problems. Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
PROBLEM:
I am unable to uninstall or reinstall both Dreamweaver 5.5 and CS 5.5.
Continually get extensive number of the following errors:
ERROR DF024 Unable to preserve original file...
ERROR DF024 Unable to move file…
ERROR DF037 Unable to delete directory…
SYSTEM CONFIG:
Adobe CS 5.5
Mac OS 10.7.4
MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz
Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB Ram
BACKGROUND (History appears chronologically in 4 parts.):
CS 5.5 was already installed and functioning fine, then upgraded from OS 10.6 to 10.7. Noticed issues with elements not appearing in DISPLAY VIEW of Dreamweaver, but was correct in CODE VIEW and BROWSER PREVIEW.
Tried to reinstall and uninstall Dreamweaver 5.5 several times using the CS 5.5 installation disk. Consistently got DF024 errors. NOTE: After first attempt. installer marked Dreamweaver as already installed, but not the others. Using the Finder, the Dreamweaver directory appears to be empty unless the files are now hidden. Nothing regarding the application can be seen in the Trash. Also unable to launch any other Adobe CS apps.

SLConfig.xml appeared to be an alias pointing to a file of the same name in the Mac version. Went to original file, made a new alias and replaced the corrupted file.
Then rebooted system and relaunched CSS5.5 Installer with all apps selected. Program started and ran for about 15 min before reporting more errors, now with error DF037 as well. Did this again with the same results except the DF037 error did not reappear. It appears the the problems are mostly in two directories:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/
and
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ssc/DesignSuitePremium-CS5.5-Win-GM/
but I am not sure how to best resolve this.

Hi Sharad,
Thank you for your reply.
Since my initial posting here, I've attempted a few more installations. Each time a file from /Library/Application Support/Adobe/ssc/ would appear with the same error DF024, and it was always an alias. So each time I would replace the old alias with a new manually created alias pointing to the same original as the old alias. Sure enough, when I relaunched the installer, error DF024 with the old alias no longer appeared, but a new error DF042 with another alias from the same directory did appear. Then I manually replaced all aliases found in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/ssc/ directory with new ones I created.
Upon rebooting and relaunching the installer program, the program did not stop at around 12% as consistently it did up until now. Instead, it progressed to 80% before it stopped and reported a huge number of new errors. Most of them pertain to the inability to roll back the installation it had attempted. No files from /Library/Application Support/Adobe/ssc/ appeared in the new log report.
To gain a better understanding of the logs, I downloaded AdobeSupportAdvisor and tried using it, but it referred me to online solutions that weren't relevant to my situation (i.e., one mentions Photoshop CS4 and I've never installed CS4).
I also tried following the articles from the Adobe knowledgebase:
cspid_84451: Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6
which is fine if you only have a few errors, and
cspid_83481: Installation, launch log errors | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CCM
which doesn't list error DF024.
At this point I've decided to not not make anymore attempts without some expert guidance.
The log file seem too large to post here. If you would like review the log, I can perhaps post it on www.pastebin.com unless you can suggest a better way. Please let me know.

CS6 Installer halts when installing Adobe Help

CS6 Creative Suite Design & Web Premium Trial downloads, extracts, but the installer halts when it hits "Currently Installing Adobe Help", and the install time keeps increasing indefinitely. I have tried over and over, re-downloading, using the direct download links, running the creative suite cleaner, the Adobe Support tool, restarting my computer, etc. etc. etc. It does this same thing when I have tried to install Dreamweaver CS6 on its own, but I was able to download & install Lightroom 4 with no problems whatsoever. What can I do at this point?

I too am having this problem, and killing InstallAdobeHelp.exe DOES seem to allow the installer to continue. Thank you for that tip, Dan!
For reference (Adobe or otherwise) here is some log and other useful information:

A couple notes:
I am installing CS6 Master Collection trial.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I had CS4 & CS5 Master Collection installed (non-trial)
I tried removing both, with no luck.
I updated Download Manager and Adobe Air just previous to installing.
I have tried restarting, installing with and without internet access/activation (shouldn't really matter) - Attempted installation about 6 times.
Running InstallAdobeHelp from command line using the same call the installer does (InstallAdobeHelp.exe CommandLine: appVersion=4.0.244 appId=chc pubId=4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.1 installerArg1=-silent installerArg2=-eulaAccepted installerArg3=-programMenu installerArg4=AdobeHelp.air) Gives the same result - an empty window appears and never goes away.
Canceling the installer doesn't kill InstallAdobeHelp.exe, it will keep running in the background until killed - even if the installer is forcefully stopped, and will even run 4 or 5 InstallAdobeHelp.exe processes at the same time, if you keep trying to install.
Big idea: I saw something in the log about already having AdobeHelp 1.0.0.0 installed (Probably from CS4/5?) I'm guessing this is causing the conflict:

10.4.6 failed installation, but successful?

During all attempted installations of 10.4.6 (both the Software Update downloaded package and the Combo package), installation has failed.
The installer fails with such wonderful error messages such as the following:
brackenridge% sudo installer -verbose -pkg MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.6PPC.pkg -target /Volumes/Misato/
installer: Package name is Mac OS X Update Combined (PowerPC)
installer: Installing onto volume mounted at /.
installer: Preparing for installation.....

installer: Writing files
installer: Writing files: 0% Completed
installer: Writing files: 58% Completed
installer: The install failed.
Installation of the package downloaded during Software Update (and moved to the Trash) fails at 33%.
Wierd thing is, now my system is reporting as 10.4.6. I'm worried, now, that my system has convinced itself that it is 10.4.6 (which explains why the update is no longer available through the Software Update tool) but that all the files distributed in this update were not touched. Ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion of Whatsize. It didn't reveal any invisible folders with my data inside.
Whatsize from <http://www.id-design.com/software/whatsize/> is intriguing in showing how much garbage is on the HD. It was surprising to see caches that I thought had been deleted were still on the disk.
I am currently back to 95% of files restored from other sources and i'm recovering my distributed assets from the net.

Re-Installation on new Mac Pro - Serial Number not working

I purchased Logic Studio as an upgrade to Logic Express 7. Now I am attempting installation on a new, different Mac. The serial number prompt says that my Logic XS key is invalid.
Because this was originally an upgrade from Logic Express, does that mean that I have to install the old and unnecessary Logic Express on the NEW machine? That seems really dumb.

And, yes the answer is install Logic Express 7.

ARD Installs every time I launch it!

Every time I launch ARD Admin 3.1 it asks me for my administrator password and then launches Remote Desktop Setup. It then proceeds to install required software components and sits there waiting for me to click Done. I remember in previous versions it asked for a password just for launching the program that had nothing to do with an administrator password and it did not go through setup each time. I went into preferences in ARD and reset my password but it still does the same thing each time. It is as if the installer receipt is not being accepted.

Your presumption of my account privileges is correct. I had previously followed the removal instructions you linked to and the subsequent installation was nothing but trouble. Every time I attempted installation it would start the process and the window would just disappear while installation was under way. Repeated attempts to install would see the installation window disappear at an earlier point in the installation (way weird). I finally got it to install by opening the contents of the installation package and running the individual installers for the Admin tool and Client separately. At least that is what I remember. I was so excited to see that it worked, I immediately tried to recall the sequence of events that lead to that success but my recollection is fuzzy. Similar to waking from a dream and struggling to remember what it was about.
At this point I am just so glad it works that I hate to mess with it again. Rather than grapple with the whole ordeal again, it is worth the annoyance of having setup run each time I need to use it .

Installation log file error

I am attempting to reload Photoshop Elements 8 on a Dell Precision Workstation under Windows 7 64-bit Professional on a new hard drive. Immediately after I confirm English as the language, the following error pops up:
Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable.
I have attempted installation from the DVD and from a location on the hard drive, with the same result.
If I knew the location the installer is trying to use for the log file I could verify the existence and properties of that location.
Please help.
Thanks,
