Can't install desktop software

Hi
I have the Palm IIIc and am trying to install the contents of the CD (desktop software) that came with my orginizer unfortunately there seems to be two problems when I start installing the contents of the CD:
1: It says in a dialog box(titleetup:Macro installation error)
"An error occured while installing one or more of the macros used by the Palm Desktop software.
Microsoft Word macro error.
Unable to write to directory; application my be running. Macro will be to the Palm Desktop directory.
Microsoft Excel macro error.
Unable to write to directory; application my be running. Macro will be to the Palm Desktop directory.
Press next to continue with installation. Or press cancel to exit Setup; then close Microsoft Word and Excel and run setup again.
Refer to readme.txt for more information."
Well, the thing is that i am positve that i am not running any of those programs.
2: When I click next after the first problem appears another dialog box(title:Component Transfer error) appears and says:
"Component: Disk<1>
File group: < Disk1>Disk1 files(1)
File: C:\Program Files\InstallSheild Installation Information\{BA0F-44C2-A883-11D1-AD0A-006097D15E2C}\
Error: Acess is denied
So what i would like to know is what to do in this situation to complete the installation.

What operating system are you using on your computer? Is it even a Windows machine??

Can't install desktop software--error message

When I first tried to install the desktop software from the disk that came with my phone, something went wrong and the installation was incomplete. I am unable to uninstall and start over, however, because when I open the Add or Remove Programs feature in the control panel, no blackberry software comes up as an option to remove.
When I try to initiate the intallation process again (whether by disk or by download), I get the following error message in a box that says "InstallShield" at the upper left:
An error occurred while downloading the file http://saturn.installshield.com/is/prerequisites/microsoft.net framework 2.0 sp1.prq. What would you like to do?
I then have the option to retry or cancel. If I hit retry, I get the same message. If I hit cancel, I get the message:
An error occurred while downloading the file http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/8/c/08c19fa4-4c4f4ffb-9d6c-150906578c9e/NetFx20SP1_x86.exe. What would you like to do?
Again, I have to option to retry or cancel. If I hit cancel, I get the message:
The files for installation requirement Nicrosoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 could not be found. The installation will now stop. This is probably due to a failed, or canceled download.
This time, I can click Yes or No.
Any suggestions how I can get the desktop software installed onto my computer?
Thanks!

Yes Microsoft removed it from their site, that's why I linked to the other site where you can download it from.
In the past if the clean uninstall steps for the Desktop Manager didn't work, than the windows utility always did the trick

Hello All,
I am running Win 7. Just can't seem to get the desktop software installed witout the Error 1406 coming up. I have tried doing a clean uninstall a few times but still can't get done.

Here's the full Error messege;
Could not write value discription to key \Software\MozillaPlugins\@Rim.com/webSLLauncher,

Hi there!
I agree...a full start over is in order. And, for your easier reference, here is the procedure that I give out.
I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista/Win7, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
Some have reported that there are more registry keys to remove than are discussed in that KB
Others have reported the use of a registry cleansing tool to also be helpful
3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchronizing via USB):
KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
5) Install DTM to your PC
6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
Hopefully that will get things going again.
Good luck and let us know!

Hello:
Thank you for the update for remote access for desktops.
Personally, I do not want to give remote access to anyone but myself as privacy is my friend. Can this remote desktop software still be for me personally unless I allow access and for my MAC lap top only? What if I do not update? I do use this lap top in other countries. compatibility issues with what?

Apple Remote Desktop is off be default. It has to be enabled for some one to be able to remotely connect to the computer. And then, you still have to have a user name and password on the computer to remotely connect with.
If you want to see if remote access has is enabled for Apple Remote Desktop; you can find the setting in, Apple Menu, System Prefrences, Sharing. If it's enabled, Remote Management or Screen Sharing will be checked.
Beucase Apple Remote Desktop Agent is part of the Mac Operating System; even if your not using it, Apple Software Updates will from time to time offer updates for ARD Agent. Software Updates can some times be stacked ontop of each other; so chosing not to install an update, can mean other updates you may want may not be offered. At least until you install the updates those updates require. Also software updates can improve the security of your computer.

Now each time I try to install the software from RIM website https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22the the process stops because it claims that there is a previous version installed on my pc and it cannot be overrun. I can't find any file from DS V7.0 in my computer and I need a Desktop Software!!!

Installing desktop software fails

When installing desktop software version 4.7 from disc or net, the install starts - asks you which language you would like, the comes up with the wizard was interrupted before software could be installed.....
have tried various versions same result...
can someone please help as i need to remove ticketmaster app which only works in america... not much good in uk
Cheers

I'm having the exact same problem going from treo 600 verizon to centro att and windows vista. the first install failed just like the above user, redid it and received no option to import data. Tried the suggested reinstall from the downloaded version and got the import option this time, but nothing shows up on the desktop, no old data, nothing.
I notice in the data folders on my computer that the old file type are there, as well as the new types, with considerably smaller sizes, no doubt because there's no data in them. Looks like the new desktop is simply saving the old files, but did not actually convert them.
I can't believe more people don't have this problem. I found one other similar post from a 650 user. someone suggested synching the old treo with the new desktop. i tried that too, but still no data appears (no error message either).
Any help would be appreciated.

Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.

Hi i am trying to install windows to my macbook through boot camp and i get this message Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.!!!what can i do???please help me!

Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. this is the message that i get a few days now that i am trying to install windows through boot camp to my macbook!does anybody knows what i can do????

You keep it on the usb stick for after you boot into Windows. From Windows you install the Windows Support software on the stick. Do you realize that you need to buy and install Windows? The Windows Support software you downloaded is only the Windows drivers for your hardware.
Read the Boot Camp installation instructions and help guides located here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

Can't install the software for the EPSON Epson Stylus Photo R2000 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server???
I am using mac osx 10.8 and now cant get print software for epson R2000 printer.

After system update, my Epson Stylus SX 535WD was ''gone''. I tried in vain to add it as an IP printer (got the IP-address from the printer). The printer model is correctly recognized, software download starts -- but then the "software ... is not currently available..."
Resetting the printing system did not help. Downloading Epson Printer Drivers v2.15.1 from here
did not help either, downloading Epson Printer Drivers.
In the end, I re-installed the printer software from the original CDs. After that the printer showed up as a Bonjour Printer, and I could add it without problem.
But note: although the printer is installed now and working properly, I still get the old error message (...software ..not available...) if I try to add the printer as an IP printer !?

HT204135 Can't install the software for the Brother HL-4070CDW series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

I keep recieving this message for months since I upgraded to the Retina MacBook Pro, "Can't install the software for the Brother HL-4070CDW series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." I am unable to install my Brother HL-4070CDW Printer. I have manually downloaded all the software directly from Brother as well as the Brother Printer Drivers from Apple, but still can not install

That means you go here:

When I try to install Windows on iMac with Bootcamp I get this message,"Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."

I try to get Windows 7 on my iMac 21.5-inch but on the Bootcamp Assistant I get this message,"Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." Please help me and thank you.

I have that problem too. There's many other discussion threads as well. Either Apple doesn't realize they have a problem, or they do and simply don't care. Either way, not good.
There is a workaround that I'm going to try next. Go to this webpage:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
Scroll down to the middle of the webpage. Hit "Expand All". Now, search the webpage for the Apple product name of your computer. It should be something like "MacBook Pro, 17-inch, Early 2008". If you're unsure what you have, open "About This Mac" (upper left corner of your screen, Apple menu), and hit "More Info".
Now that you've found your computer, read across the table, to the version of Windows that you want to install (32-bit or 64-bit). Hopefully you'll find a "4" or "5" there. Click on that number, to go to the download page for the drivers that you need. If you just see an empty box there, then you're out of luck....
Hopefully there will be drivers. Download those, unzip, and then copy to a USB stick that has been formatted for MS-DOS FAT (or FAT32). Use Disk Utility to format your USB stick if necessary. Now, you have the drivers you should have gotten from the Boot Camp Assistant download. You should then be able to go back to Boot Camp Assistant and follow the instructions from there.
Hope it works!

When trying to download Boot Camp Windows Support Software, error says: "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."

I use a Macbook Pro 13" mid 2010 on Mavericks and I've tried using the Boot Camp assistant to download support software for Windows 7. This gives the error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
Further, I tried to separately download Boot Camp 4 and 5. When I do this and try to install from Windows 7, it says that this version of Boot Camp is not for this computer and doesn't install. The result is that I have Windows 7 working and installed, but am unable to use the trackpad to rightclick, brightness settings, etc.
Please help!
Thanks

You need to run Bootcamp Assistant and select only the menu item to download the Windows Support Software. Follow the instructions. The download servers are extremely slow therefore it may take several hours to get the download.
