Cannot Create Directory During Installation

I've been going through the various fixes posted by the top users (a very helpful and intelligent bunch) but I haven't seen a fix for my particular issue. After downloading iTunes v7.6, during the installation process I receive a message:
Cannot create the directory C:\WINDOWS\Installer\{80FD852F-5AAC-4129-B931-06AAFFA43138}. A file with this name already exists. Please rename or remove the file and click retry, or click cancel to exit.
I have searched my system and there is no other file with that name on my hard drives anywhere. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and what can be done to resolve this issue?

I found the answer myself. I entered into safe mode with the c: prompt. I was then able to locate and delete the file in C:\WINDOWS\Installer. I then went and deleted the files via add/delete program files. Per previous recommendations, I also deleted all iTunes and Quicktime folders/files in C:\Program Files and C:\WINDOWS\system32. Then I emptied the recycled bin, rebooted the computer and reloaded iTunes/Quicktime off the Apple iTunes web site. I hope this information helps someone else.

Cannot create directory Bonjour

Tried to install itues and get the same error "cannot create directory program files/Bonjour. A file with this name already exists...etc.
I searched for such a file, deleted it , but still get the same errorr. I unistalled itunes, tried to reinstall an older version...same error...
Any thoughts?

Hello. Have you attempted to just install Bonjour by itself?

Also if you need to go to Control panel and uninstall Bonjour, Reboot, then come back and install latest Bonjour at link above. Followed by iTunes if it installs.

According to the download page the minimum supported version on Vista is 10.2.0.4 but the installation guide states 10.2.0.3.0.
According to the installation guide you need administrator rights to run DBCA.
How are you running DBCA? From the Start menu or from command line?

Error Cannot create directory /tmp/ .xorg.conf72

During an install of Solaris 10 (as a virtual machine) I was attempting to run /usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig
I received the following error:
Cannot create directory /tmp/ .xorg.conf72
Any Ideas as to how I could fix the problem?

Hi,
So, try to create this folder by your hands before create the track and assign all permissions to sap admin user.
It will solve this issue.

Have you just installed Arch? Is there a chance that you're not the owner of your home directory? (check "ls -l /home/" to be sure... if not, chown it)
I don't know what else it could be but someone here will surely have an idea.

Palm Desktop 6.2 & Hotsync manager (windows) cannot access internet during installation

I think that I posted this in the wrong forum before. If not, I apologize for the duplicate.
I just upgraded to windows 7 32-bit. I have Palm T/X and I was trying to install Palm Desktop 6.2 software from palm website. However, during installation I keep getting messages that "Setup was unable to access the internet. Check your internet connection and verify that it is working". even when I am downloading from the internet. My internet works fine. Has anyone else had the same problem and what is the fix for it. Thanks in advance for your help.
Post relates to: Palm TX

Uncheck the access the internet box. There is no longer any info for your TX to look up for the desktop instillation.

Tecra R10-10W - Can't create partition during installation

I got Tecra R10-10W and I switched from Vista to XP. I used Windows XP Toshiba recovery disk for this.
I was not able to create partition on hdd during the installation.
I wonder did I miss something?
How can I split my hdd into 2 parts? Should I re-install XP for it?
Please help me?
Thanks,
Alper

Hi!
As Akuma wrote its not possible to create or change HDD partitions during the Toshiba recovery installation.
The Toshiba recovery disk contains an image of factory settings and after this you can change the partition size yourself.
I also use Partition Magic and it works really good. If you dont have this tool you can Google for a freeware tool. ;)

Cannot create Volume License Installer

I am trying to create a volume license installer for LabVIEW 9, and I get the following error:

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am not sure what your specific issue is but I simply wanted to say that I had no issues creating installers LV 2009 for our VLA. Have you checked that destination drive that you are putting the installer on to ensure that it does have enough space and that you do have permissions to write to it?

Problem creating database during installation Oracle 8i

Hi!
When I was installing Oracle 8i a problem appeared. This problem was about Database creation, when the program of the Oracle installation was creating the database an error message was appeared : ORA-01034:ORACLE NOT AVAILABLE. I aborted the creation of the database and Oracle 8i was installed successfully.Now I'm trying to create the database with dbassist program but the same error is showed. Is there some solution?
In addition, I'm installing Oracle 8.1.7 in a Sunblade 100 Sparc with Solaris 8.0.
With best wishes, Jordi Carrasco.

did you define the variable ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME?

It looks like makepkg only runs install in the fakeroot. Is there any way a binary installer can be run inside the fakeroot?
Am I going in the right direction, or is there no way to run a binary installer like this?
Are there other binary installers that are run like this?
Best regards,
Cedric

Cannot see standalone option during installation

I have two problems:
1. I'm trying to install Workshop 3.2 as a standalone application but i don't see that option. It's always asking me for my Eclipse directory (step 4 during installation).
2. So, I installed Eclipse 3.2 with WTP and installed Workshop 3.2 as a plugin. But then, i cannot see the design view (WYSIWYG) whenever I create/edit a JSP.
I'm using Java 1.5.0_06. Has anyone encountered the same problem? Any advice?

Hi Jeffrey,
Can you try the following steps:
open a DOS console
cd into the directory where you have the unzipped the contents from installer zip file.
Update the PATH variable as follows
PATH=C:<jdk1.5.0_06> ; \bin;%PATH%
run the the installer from the command prompt
Cheers

Hi Srinivasa,
I guess, you didn't completed the initial setup schemaprep and adprep before starting the installation. You can do it as follows:
1. Open command Prompt as administrator and browse to the root of installation cd and run Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
After finishing this,
2. Setup.exe /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:"<organization name>" /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
3. To prepare all domains within the forest run Setup.exe /PrepareAllDomains /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms. If you want to prepare a specific domain run Setup.exe /PrepareDomain:<FQDN of the domain you want to prepare> /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
4. Once you complete all of the 3 steps, install the pre-requisities for Exchange 2013
5. Finally, run the setup program
Hope this will help you

Please advise..
Thank you!

Hi,
I had the same problem with my BPC 7 installation yesterday and followed all the proposed solutions in this thread with no luck. When I checked, the OSoftResSvrZFP_EN.dll was missing - you might be missing this too. Anyway, I solved it by running the BPC 7.0 server installation exe and then selected 'Repair'.

My New Retina MacBook Pro crashes during installation and cannot turn back on?

My New Retina Display MacBook Pro suddenly just crash all of a sudden during installation, it happened when in a white background ther is a Lion image at the center and a progress bar at the bottom. The MacBook cannot be turned back on after this crash!!!! Does anyone has the same problem?
P.S. I had connected to a power cable during installation and didn't touch it at all during installation.

Similar problem here. Using the new Macbook Pro with Retina Display, happily for a week. Tonight it suddenly died, turned itself off, that is. I couldn't turn it back on now.... Very frustrating. Any solution except for bringing it back to the Apple store?
