Cannot find Installer
I am trying to use a mpkg file, but am unable to find the Installer application. It does not appear in the Utilities folder, nor am I able to find it using spotlight.
Any ideas?
Try using Pacifist to extract the Installer application from your computer's original disks and then rerun the Mac OS X 10.47 combo updater.

Boot camp, "cannot find installation disk."
What do I do? It's a Microsoft download from the MSDN Academic Alliance (Win 7 Prof. 64-bit) and I am getting this error.
I downloaded the Win 7 Prof. from Microsoft's MSDN AA site on a PC.
Opened boot campo and created the partition and the CD is visible in finder (.ISO) but boot camp says "cannot find installation disk."
So I moved the .ISO to my desktop and burned a new CD using the iMac Superdrive and receive the samer error.
Anyone have any ideas?Boot Camp will not install from an ISO file. You must have a bootable DVD. Whatever is on your disc image it apparently is not what is on a bootable DVD. You may simply have a .exe installer application that will only work on a Windows machine or on a pre-exisitng Windows system on a Boot Camp partition.

Hello,
I am running a windows SBS 2011 standard system and there was currently an update for Exchange 2010 Rollup 2 Service Pack 3 and it keeps failing. It says that it cannot find the installation package (exchangeserver.msi) and it is looking for it
in E:\Software\Exchange2010-SP3-x64\ folder but there never was this folder. There is only an Exchange2010-SP3-x64.exe file.
The only exchangeserver.msi file that I find on the server any where is in C:\ProgramFiles\Windows Small Business Server\Bin\CMPNENTS\EXCHANGE14_SP1 but it won't accept it (says not authorized for this update or something alike).
Please help. It is currently causing issues with email. Some of the features are not working because it says exchange is currently under maintenance.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.Susan you are correct: After I installed Exchange 2010 SP3, I deleted the msi just to "clean up' my hard disk... While trying to install Rollup 2 for SP3, the installer is trying to find it. I downloaded the installer, used 7-zip to get
the msi and I pointed the installer to it when asked.
The installation failed 3 times...
NOTE: I was using WSUS to install the Rollup: I downloaded the Rollup installer and I executed: I could see where the installer was hanging up! First it asked me to stop an SBS service and something else (sorry I do not remember), I stopped
the services and installation continued. Then it asked me for more files from the SP3 installation which I found on the installation folder that I created with 7-zip. I copied to the path that the installer was looking and installation finished
(finally!)...
NOTE 2: If you have any firewall appliance that denies Internet access to un-authenticated requests, you better turn that rule off because the installer accesses the internet (not sure why - probably for Dot Net assemblies)...
Susan THANKS for all your help to the community! You have helped so much!
All the Best

I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 via Parallels on my Macbook Pro.
I create a new VM and use the .ISO file and get the error: "Windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation."
I found this question was answered here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/b1021d66-9774-4b5b-b50b-ad860c5ecc89/windows-8-enterprise-rtm-installation-error?forum=w8itproinstall
However, following the steps of the solution did not work for me. I created a blank VM and chose Windows 8.1. After this, it asks me to insert the installation disc. I cannot figure out how to use the .ISO as the source at this point. I tried copying and
pasting the path to the file and dragging the file to the VM, but no luck.
If there is a way I can install this without this error message or by somehow getting the path to the .ISO that'd be perfect.Hi,
According to your description, I would like to confirm if you have unchecked the Express installation box.
Be sure to uncheck 'Express Installation' when installing, otherwise Windows setup will fail with an error "cannot find license terms" and get stuck in a reboot cycle.
I suggest you refer to the following link to use Parallels Desktop to install Windows 8.1.

I am using a 2011 iMac on 10.6.8. I recently downloaded the Yosemite upgrade and during the installation process ran into the "this disk is used for time machine backups". I ejected the external drive I use for time machine backups and turned off time machine in the application. I then followed the instructions of the help article (OS X: Cannot install on a volume used by Time Machine for backups - Apple Support) by moving the folder "Backups.backupdb" that I was able to find on my internal hard drive to the trash. I have restarted several times after completing this process. I am still running into the same error during the installation process. I have searched the hard drive for any other backups and I cannot find any. I searched the hard drive using the command cmd-shift-g and searched for “backups.backupdb” and was unable to find any folders or files. Any other suggestions?
I have resolved the problem - I did not actually delete the "backups.backupdb" folder, I only deleted the contents of the folder. I must have only searched on the user account for the folder after I thought I had deleted it. Thank you for the assistance everyone and I apologize for the inconvenience!

I havev installed a new Hard Drive on my laptop but cannot find my Photoshop Elements product box with the serial number to install Elements 10 or Elememts Premier 10. How can I find out the serial / installation codes for these? I saw a reply however, it was not my name and assumed it was for someone else. Now timed out. Can UI still have help on this matter please?
If you registered PSE before, go to the main page of adobe.com, sign in and go to your account and you should find the serial number there in your purchases.

Installation cannot find a disk to install on
Hello,
Very short version of the problem:
*Tiger installation does not detect any harddrive to install to*
Full story:
Yesterday I bought my very first iMac. It's a 20" wirh 2Gb ram and 300Gb disk.
It was preinstalled with Tiger. I did the updrade to Leopard mself. No problems there.
Then I treid to install Windows using bootcamp.
Since then, a lot of problems.
The system will not start anymore.
So, since this is a fresh system, I have no problem starting all over again.
I can't directly start with Leopard since they are only upgrade disks, so have to install Tiger first.
When I have the install-1 Tiger disk in the CD and start the system, the upgrade
starts.
*But at a certain point it shows the box with available Harddrives to install to.*
*That box is empty on my screen !!!!*
*This is the problem: The apple cannot find my harddrive anymore.*
does anybody have a clue what to do now?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I am trying to reinstall Logic Studio that i bought back in 2008, and I cannot find the serial number. I think I barely remember running into this problem before with this application. When i use the installation disc it tells me that the serial number is located in one of the installation booklets, and it doesn't explain to me which one. Can you help me?
Thank You!
Steven harris!

the feature you are trying to use on a network resource that is unavailable. i cannot find Quick Time.msi file anywhere. so i cannot uninstall or re install quick time
any suggestions please??????Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.) -
I have a 10.5.8 os and need the simplified Chinese languag pack which I have not been able to download. It says I need an update installer which I cannot find as well/ or one that will work. Any suggestions?
Are you sure it is not already there? In system preferences/international/language, don't you see simplified Chinese on the list? It is supposed to be there. You just move it to the top and restart to put the OS into that language.
Missing language packs can also normally be installed by running the Language Translations installers found in the OptionalInstalls.mpkg of the Leopard DVD. -
Cannot Install - Installer cannot find file
A colleague and I are getting the same error when trying to install this software.
The installer extracts files into the temp directory, then an error pops up saying "The system cannot find the files pecified." I can see that it is trying to find "hpzrein01.exe" with "hpqins15.dat" included as a parameter. I can see the .dat file in the specified directory, but the .exe does not exist in the folder that the installer deposited the extracted files.

Installation error: Cannot find a J2SE SDK installed at path C:\Program Fi
I am installing latest version of SQL Developer, Release 1.2. I have Sun Java 2 Standard Edition Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_10-b03). When I browse and select the java.exe found it comes up with error: Cannot find a J2SE SDK installed at patch
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_10
I am installing the version I downloaded for Windows systems with JDK1.5.
I have tried on two different machines.
Any ideas?This is going to seem loooong, but comprehensive.
I'd initially always suggest using the bundled
package, since that's supposed to be a tested and
proven combination.You know what, I'm gonna be mighty surprised if you're implying that Oracle hasn't 'tested and proven' the releases at http://www.oracle.com./technology/software/products/sql/index.html other than the first 77 MB download labeled Oracle SQL Developer for Windows... :)
After having problems with a graphics card for
example, installing the latest JDK might be
indicated.Huh?!? Not a clue what you're talkin' 'bout! :S
It's also easy for users who don't know which Java
version to download, or even where to find it! You
guys have proven that: although it's stated you need
.First of all, it says right there on the download page (http://www.oracle.com./technology/software/products/sql/index.html) that:
"JDK 1.5 (JDK 5.0) is required. This is the minimum JDK version required"
And we've "proven that [..] although it's stated you need the JDK, [we]'ve tried running with the JRE" and have NOT been able to run the application. It just presents the user a dialog box to locate the 'SDK' manually and exits gracefully if you try to dismiss it. So, conclusively proven, the JDK (or as SQL Developer puts it, Java SDK) is required- QED.
And given users might have several versions running
on the same machine (I have half a dozen), sqldev
could easily pick up a wrong version.And every JRE installation (atleast all of Sun's) make sure they update the default (via PATH and other required system variables) JRE point to the latest one installed. So if you have anything 1.5+ you're good to go; if not, you've got an incompatile JRE. Doesn't sound that hard to me!
As for being bulky, even without the bundled JDK, it
still is.Ya missed the point. Developers are making Java applications bulkier by including the JRE/JDK with their distributions. A SQL Developer release sans JDK is about 46 MB; with JDK that climbs to 77 MB (sizes quoted from download page linked above).
Imagine what happens when you have, besides SQL Developer (JDK 1.5 included), some-cool-java-app that also includes the JRE/JDK it was built on; and then another-java-app that also includes a JRE/JDK... I bet JDeveloper also comes with a JDK bundled in. So, now you have FOUR copies of JRE/JDK (aside from the "have half a dozen" that probably installed themselves via Java Update Checker)!
Here's the big picture, the savings in disk space would only be the beginning of your benefits. Here's a few others:
- Class Data Sharing (http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/vm/class-data-sharing.html) introduced in Java SE 5.0 provides for storing definitions of commonly used classes in a representation closer to machine code, even closer than bytecode, this reducing load and startup time. Plus all VM's launced using that particular distribution get to share the cache- Performace+ !!
Running each app offa' it's own VM just causes multiple caches to be loaded. You just multiplied your losses! :(
- Sun is currently working on a way to have applications simply inject into a running JVM. That way, there is no load and startup time for the JVM, just the time to load you app classes. Using different distros would completely defeat this!
(The reason why this feature isn't out yet is because they're still trying to make it possible to specify hitherto VM configurations like security and logging as application configurations. Then there's also the issue of setting up class loading boundaries between applications.
You say you don't have to bring over the VB runtime
for each app? I remember in the 90's doing it all the
time. Of course, being MS, now that's not necessary
anymore, since it's "magical" Windows. I don't have
any machine from Sun, but for sure they've got Java
bundled with it, right?I don't believe you had to do that since VB 5; and that's because MS realized that they messed up on this very point upto then! Sun worked the simple solution to that into their deployment strategy- install only ONE runtime and run all apps off that. As for you're half-a-dozen, I think you can safely uninstall the five older versions; because, even today, people are running apps developed using JDK1.1 on Java SE 6.0!
Again, I find the most logical difference between JRE
and JDK being the debugger. As you say it yourself:
JRE for end-users, who don't need to do any
debugging.
Now, sqldev is not just a table browser, but also for
debugging PL/SQL. 1 + 1 = 2.I think it's a little naive to differentiate between the JRE and JDK on just the debugger! Aside from the obvious inclusion of a compiler, the JDK has several other tools for monitoring/managing the heap, threads and logging on the fly. There's also the Doclet API and Sun's javadoc implementation, dev interfaces for instrumenting the VM, native interfaces, ...
And I reiterate, we're talkin' PL/SQL developers here. Why would I want to give a PL/SQL developer a Java Development Kit?!? ;|
Nevertheless, as said in the other thread, if the
team discloses how to circumvent the SDK check at
startup, you can go ahead and use the JRE. In any
case, you'd have to agree that won't work as
out-of-the-box solution...You're right, it won't work like a standard Windows OOTB app. But, it WILL work as a Java OOTB that only mandates that there be a JRE available; just like the scores of Java apps out there- from tiny little Pong clones to large IDE's like NetBeans.
BTW, don't even think about quoting Websphere/Rational/Eclipse as counter-arguments. They are the biggest offenders as far as this issue goes. And jikes is an abomination, a curse Sun must carry as a result to opening the VM Spec. But, I digress...
