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.
Any help would be appreciated. I did some web searches, but did not find a solution.

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.)

  • HT204088 I installed iphone 5 from iTunes backup but still have one app showing [ ! ] not installed can not find file . How do I get rid of this pop up

    I installed iphone 5 from itunes back up and get a pop up [ ! ] app not installed can not find file. I have looked through everything that have with "CANADA" in the app title. That is the only info there is.

    If you haven't found out which app it is then if you go into list view in the Apps part of your library do any of the apps have an exclamantion mark against them ? If they do then they are the one(s) that iTunes can't find the actual app file(s) for - if you delete that app from your library then if it is still in then you should be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes, or you can just download it directly on your phone via the Purchased tab in its App Store app

  • Cannot Install "Error writing to file:..."

    Hello,
    I have been using iTunes and Quicktime for quite sometime now. i recently attempted to upgrade to the latest version and received this error:
    Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTimeVR.Resources\sa.lproj\QuickTimeVRLocalized.qt r. Verify that you have access to that directory.
    I have tried uninstalling iTunes and Quicktime as well as conducted several virus and spyware tests with no luck.
    This is quite frustrating as I cannot install nor use iTunes so I have no way of syncing my iPod.
    Thank you for any suggetions.

    Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTimeVR.Resources\sa.lproj\QuickTimeVRLocalized.qt r. Verify that you have access to that directory.
    That sort of message citing that sort of program file (in this case it looks like it might be a file in your Spanish language resources) is usually caused by that file being damaged in some way.
    The damage is often caused by disk damage near the file. So let's try running a chkdsk over the C drive:

    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, does an itunes install go through properly afterwards?

  • Cannot install - Installer buttons not responding OSX Mountain Lion

    When it ask me to click next, or do i want updates none of the buttons respond. So I cannot install it with the web installer? I click them and they show as if pressed, but nothing happens? Only way to install is use the offline installer. I have just done a clean install of Mountain Lion so it can't be my system!
    Is the installer just busted or something else? See the retry button? Well it does not do anything, either by clicking or pushing enter. It presses and highlights like it is clicked but that's it. All I get the is the "funk" sound from my macbook when I press enter.

    1. Download the installer.
    2. Quit Safari
    3. Double click the installer from it's download location.
    4. Run it.
    Should work fine.

    Hi timmyleeturner,
    Do you have any antivirus, firewall or any other security software installed on the machine?
    If yes, then please try to turn them off and download the software again from the link below.

    Also check the size of the installer on the website and on your machine.

  • Cannot install .pkg and .mpkg files

    I have recently tried to install .pkg and .mpkg files but without success. When I double-click on a file, the installer icon appears in dock but I get the following error message: The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1.).
    The problem persists despite repairing permissions.
    I have read several messages about this problem but there seems to be only one solution, and that is to reinstall the OS. I am seriously trying to avoid this unless there is a way to recover all my applications, including Parallels Desktop, Windows 7 and other Win applications.
    I would greatly appreciate any advice. Many thanks.

    The problem persists despite repairing permissions.
    Did you restart your computer after doing the above?
    Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run _*Repair Disk*_ from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select *Disk Utility.*
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click *First Aid.*
    Click _*Repair Disk.*_
    Restart your computer when done.
    Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751

  • Cannot install driver, cannot update driver, cannot uninstall device

    Dcannot install driver, cannot update driver, cannot uninstall device7 SB Audigy4 24 bit
    Hi,
    I have read the faq & tried numerous time all suggested steps, to no avail
    In device mgr, I am unable to uninstall the device, services.exe goes to 50-80% cpu usage for hours & hours, without ever uninstalling my SB
    If on the other hand, I try to install with one of the recommended driver, it invariably tells that it need to uninstall a previous driver, then it stays at the uninstall full sreen for hours. Oddly enough, device mgr gives me a code 8 (no driver installed)
    I need to nuke whatever's left of the driver, something ctzapxx.exe has not been able to help me do so far
    I have spent the better part of the last 3 days trying to get this fixed, you guys are my last hope before I reformat
    Tks in advance

    3. Click Start on the taskbar and then click Run.
    4. In the command box type the following command and press Enter key:
    X:\Util\CCC\Uninstall_L3.bat
    (X: is the CD-ROM drive letter of that the all-in-one CD-ROM is in)
    Follow the above steps to uninstall the All-in-One software and then restart the computer .
    Then download the software from the below web link:
    full feature software in vista
    Click on the above link and open the web page,after you open the above link click on download only button and save the file onto your desktop.

  • Cannot install windows, cannot start off Windows disc.

    I don't know what the issue is, I thought that one cannot install off an external optical drive but I've read online people are doing this and getting results.
    My internal SupaDupa is dead after two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan (not my laptop, not my tours) and I pulled it because I thought it was causing conflicts. However, I still have not been able to boot from the Windows disc after setting up a Windows partition from Utilities > Boot Camp Assistant.
    Anyone have a shortcut for me here?

    Yes, I have a few different versions of windows to try, and two are straight OEM discs.
    When I let the Mac try to boot up automagically into setup, I get a rotation of the ? folder, the (/) prohibited sign and the Mac face.
    When I hold down option it sometimes sees the Windows disc sometimes not, but choosing it (when I see it) gives me the same cycle of no-go. (See above)
    When I try to use an alternate boot method such as rEFIt, I get the firmware errors which makes me think that the problem does not lie within the discs.
    The MacBook is on 10.6.latest right now.

  • Old hard drive crashed, cannot get iTunes to find files

    Hi,
    Please help. Been working on this for weeks and can't get it right. Am at my wit's end:
    Old hard drive crashed; had new one installed. Tech person was able to find my iTunes on old drive and saved to thumbdrive. Downloaded most recent software and synced iPod - it "read" some of what was on it but would not play anything. tried to consolidate libraries/import from thumbdrive, then could view my whole library, but when I try to play any song it says it cannot locate the original file - does not matter if i purchased it from iTunes or added from CD. This computer is authorized, I've tried all the other "tutorials," added files (didn't work), tried using my iPod to xfer music to new computer - didn't work. I have my old hard drive booted and ready to go, can see the files and have copied them direct from drive to drive, still didn't work (followed the directions to keep music folder organized, etc.) What am I doing wrong?? I can't use my iTunes at all - just downloaded three new songs and that's all I can play from it. iPod itself seems unaffected.
    Thanks!! - [email protected]

    Hi, you said you still have access to your old hard drive.
    Can you move the entire itunes folder from the old to the new?
    Not just the 'itunes music' folder - you need the parent folder of that.
    It has an important file named itunes library.itl that holds ratings, play counts and the paths to your music files.
    Copy that entire itunes folder and all its subfolders over to the new PC.
    Press *and hold* the shift key while starting itunes and choose the ITL file you just copied over.

  • Cannot install yesod: There are files missing in ...

    I'd like to install Yesod. According to this page, you need to do "cabal install Cabal cabal-install yesod".
    I did that, and get a bunch of errors: http://pastebin.com/Egke6KER
    Lots of "There are files missing in the xxxxx package"
    Anybody knows how to figure this out?
    BTW, I know that Yesod is available in AUR, but there are many dependencies and I don't want to install them manually.

    @ngoonee
    Hmm I just tried using yaourt, and apparently there are broken dependencies here and there, so I can't build it
    @Leffe
    I even uninstalled ghc, and re-installed it again. The same errors still occur.
    Anyway, I think I'll wait for a while, untill all the dependencies are updated.

  • Cannot install Asian language support files

    My user wants to type Chinese character at the PDF document.  I tried to install Asian language support for the Acrobat Adobe 9 Standard with the OEM CD.  However, I had a problem with it.  Instead of installing; it asked for the Acrobat Adobe 9 Standard - EFG - CD.  What's wrong?  It look like the Acrobat CD version is wrong, but it came with this computer.  Is it caused by installed wrong version of Acrobat security patches?  If yes, how to fix it?  Uninstall Acrobat Adobe 9 then reinstall it?  Any suggestion!!!  Thank you in advance.

    I scanned a page with Chinese text and the resulting PDF showed all gray.
    Based on your suggestion that the files may already be installed, I scanned the same Chinese text again and it scanned correctly.
    Probably it was a one-time error. Everything seems to be working now. Thank you for replying.

  • I need to update Firefox, but it keeps saying that Firefox needs to be closed first (even though all windows are closed). I cannot install or remove Firefox files due to this problem.

    Firefox was unable to open google, and I saw there was an update for that problem, but I am unable to install the update (or any update for that matter) as well as removing Firefox. Every time I try to do so, I get a message that I must close Firefox first (even though there are no windows open). I checked applications to be sure, and it does not appear Firefox is running when this happens.

    Hi kshikuma. This happens to me sometimes, as well.
    To solve this issue, open the Windows Task Manager by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del.
    Go to the "Processes" tab and see if a process named "firefox.exe" or "plugin-container.exe" is opened. Close any and all such processes by right-clicking them and selecting "End Process".

  • Cannot install trial acrobat pro, file damaged.

    Downloading from the website, but no luck. XP 64  bit

    try a different browser and/or a different (wired) connection and/or a download manager.  or
    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  Adobe Acrobat XI Pro/Standard and Reader: Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.
