DirectX won't install - Internal Error

Hello everyone,
After hours spent reading topics on the subject, I come to you with my problem.
I recently had to reinstall Windows 7 on my laptop and since then I can't get DirectX to install. I downloaded the most recent end-user redistributable I could find (June 2010 from here,
Microsoft Download center) but to no avail. The installation fails after some time due to an "internal error" and I should check the DirectX and DXError logs. I have uploaded these two files here :
http://we.tl/UsvPFmW4iD
Dxdiag says DirectX Version : DirectX 11
I checked the registry keys with regedit and they seem fine.
I tried sfc /scannow, came up with no errors.
I did a clean-boot, didn't change a thing.
So basically I'm all out of ideas. I'd rather like to avoid having to reinstall windows again especially as it's brand new and I don't understand what I did wrong. Thanks for your help !
Best regards

Hi,
Why did you want to install the DirectX manually? Did you encounter any issue with DirectX ?
1.The DirectX 11 has been included in Win7 .Please run dxdiag to have a diagnostic.
2.If you encountered some issue with the DirectX 11 exactly. Please make sure you have got the latest update for DirectX.
To get the latest update:

3. According to the log you uploaded “Unable to iterate through C:\Users\GUILLA~1\Desktop\DIRECT~1\Jun2008_X3DAudio_x64.cab”.
The file may be damaged, it seems that the installation package has suffered a corruption. I recommend you to download the installation package again.
4.If this issue occurs again ,I recommend you to turn off the antivirus software to download the installation package and install it .
Best regards

LR4 won't install. Error message

I just bought LR4 and it won't install.
Error message reads: Operation could not be completed. (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error-1.) Couldn't open "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.pkg".
My operating system is: Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
Please advise asap.

btw, I bought the CD version.
Lr window opens up upon instering the CD with the the "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.pkg" icon (with the picture of the brown box) and the "Lightroom 4 Readme.pdf" icon. That's as far as I can get.
When I click on the .pkg I get the error message.
Please help

Thanks. I was able to use Apple updates to get Snow Leopard up to date
and have now installed LR4.
However...... I purchased the LR4 upgrade and I have gotten to the part
where it asked me for the serial number and I have input the new serial for
LR4 upgrade, but I erased the serial in the next set of boxes down thinking
they were asking for the name number duplicated in. However it wants my
serial number from my LR2 which I cant seem to find.
Is there a way to lookon my LR2 program and get the serial number?
Or can I access it through myAdobe account somewhere on the Adobe website??
Thanks,
Lenn

Itunes won't install. Error message: Apple Application Support not found

Itunes won't install. Error message: Apple Application Support not found. What is the fix for this?

It is always these four updates that fail. I've tried downloading and installing them seperately from apple downloads. I've tried various recommended fixes, and nothing I can figure out works. Before these problems, itunes worked on the computer for a year.
Thank you again for wanting to help me.

Hi! Need help! I downloaded Reader 9.1 and now it won't install Get error message "Error 1606. Could no access network location %APPDATA%\. I'm about ready to trash my computer! Thanks!

Hi! Need help desperately! I downloaded Reader 9.1 and it won't install. Get the error message "Error 1606. Could not access network location %APPDATA%\. Thanks!

Hello again:
I don't mean to step on any toes here but it seems that the root of the problem is being ignored. I offered before that the problems you are experiencing are due to inconsistencies in the Windows registry. While I could speculate on the various methods of how this came to be, I don't have that kind of time nor is there a need. More than likely it is some type of malware that has infected the system but that should be explored on more suited forums such as MajorGeeks.com or BleepingComputer.com. The way I see it, you have a few paths you can take, all of which will lead you to the same place: no more error 1606 and a functional Reader:
Option 1: Run the Windows Live OneCare free safety scanner to resolve any broken registry links it can find.
Option 2: Manually fix the "broken" registry entries in the Windows registry. While I understand Pat's hesitation to do so, the truth of the matter is it will resolve the immediate issue. Once the APPDATA path is corrected, you should then be able to install Reader.
Option 3: Restore Windows to a previous date using System Restore located in Help & Support of the Start menu.
Option 4: [SLEDGE HAMMER] Reinstall Windows over the top of the current installation (NO FORMAT). Use this option only if you have no other recourse. The potential to lose all personal data and settings is high if this option is not performed correctly. If this option is chosen, be certain to use a "setup" profile (username) different than your current username. If you only have a manufacturer's system restore disk rather than a Windows CD/DVD, you may not have the option NOT to format which WILL result in the loss of personal data. This option should only be performed by someone who has previous knowledge of such or is willing to learn even at the expense of data loss/time/effort.
I HIGHLY recommend that any and all personal data is backed up to an external location such as a USB key, CD/DVD, or external hard drive prior to performing option 2 or 4 above. If you would like any of the options explained in greater detail, feel free to ask and I will oblige.
Best of success!

Tried again today, and for some reason it just worked.

My iphone 4s won't restore - internal error

My iPhone 4s was syncing fine until last month. It failed due to an "internal Error" in the phone. After 4 hours of tech support with Apple and several reset to factory settings and removal and reinstallation of iTunes, it still failed. I was then sent to the Apple Store where after quick review, the phone was replaced. the problem remains. It will not restore nor sync. So now my phone is empty and just like new...without any music, contacts or calendar.
Please help!

Try taking it to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Center and see if they get a consistent error as each of those errors you report is a different type of issue.
Locate a Service location: https://locate.apple.com (choose your country in the top right)

CS6 Mast Coll Trial won't install - wierd error

I'm trying to install CS6 MC and am having one devil of a time just getting it to install. Environment: Win 8.1, brand new out-of-the-box HP 500-214 with 8gB RAM 2tB HDD. Completely new.
First I went and installed some software to begin including Adobe Reader.
Next, I went and downloaded the CS6 MC install package. The install package gives me this:
I right-clik and Run as Admin on the Application. An extraction occurs at the end of which I get this:
Ok, so do some reading. Is the download pacakge corrupt. Go back and redownload the entire kit, erasing the old one. Reboot. Repeat the sequence. Same deal as before.
More reading. Use the CS Clean Tool, actually called the CC Clean Tool but it says it will work on anything. I get a DOS box, answer some prompts and I get what appears to be a succesful clean. Reboot. Now I move back to the folder into which the D/L package was extracted (\Desktop\CS Trial DL) and there's a setup.exe. Right-clik and Run As Admin. See error above.
OK, one more try. Go back and use the Clean Tool then erase the extract folder (it might be corrupted). Reboot a third or fourth time. Re-download the entire kit again. Same error. OK, so let's use this thing called The Adobe Support Advisor (ASA). Run that and I get this cryptic little wonder:
Ignore the one at 14:40 hrs. I know I've rebooted/restarted. See the "licensing program" entry. Clik on the link and be taken to:
This is pointing at something aout CS5 when I'm trying to do CS6. Maybe they're both the same in this context. Don't know, nothing's giving me much help.
And, by the way, if I repeat this whole sequence from rebooting and cleaning and re-downloading then run the ASA, I find that the same error with the same dates is showing. ASA won't show me the report from today's running. So somehow I need to find out how to "clear" the ASA data.
So, good people, what other suggestions can we make here for me as I try to mount this trial copy on the premise that if the customer lilkes it he'll buy it? I'm out of ideas...

no, you can download suite trials. here's cs6:
if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html
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.

Won't install! ERROR: 2738

Help! I have tried upgrading my itunes several times now and everytime I get the following message:
"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error is 2738."
I have installed some GEAR driver that i heard about as well, and that didn't work.
Please help!!!

+"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error is 2738."+
Assuming you've got a 32-bit Vista, try the following document (the instructions are slightly different for 64-bit vista):

CS5 telling me to update, but updates won't install (no error code given)

I have been trying to install the updates my CS5 has been telling me to do but every time I run the update program, it goes through the process and then says there was an error in updating all my programs. I have restarted my computer, I have shut everything down...I have done EVERYTHING possible. At this point in time, my company (which is a not-for-profit) cannot afford to upgrade my software to the CS6 cloud based system, therefore I need to be able to upgrade the software I am on currently to continue doing the work I need to do.
Additionally, there is no error code given when the updates finish, so I can't even look up the error code or post the error code here to help narrow down the issue.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Thank you so much
Audra

Hi Audra,
Please try downloading and installing the updates manually from : http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
In case you still face issues, please try the following :
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.

10.5.6 Won't Install: Encounters Error

Usually I get an alert that a system update is available but was reading Digg when I saw it come over the 'Net. I hit Software Update and sure enough, a 190meg update to 10.5.6 was available. I went ahead and downloaded it using the Software Update feature and upon reboot to install I got an error saying it could not be installed because it encountered an error, to contact the Manufacturer.
Anyone else have this problem? I tried Software Update again but it believes the update has been downloaded and tries to install giving me the same error as above.
Where to go now?
Lisa

Hello all:
For anyone that is reading this, the updater that requires OS X 10.5.5 works just fine - and it is about 1/2 the size of the combo. I also had a problem with the software updater and needed to download the update separately.

Ios 5 won't install. Error message says software was corrupted during download.

I've tried multiple times. I've disconnected and reconnected. I've restarted. I've turned off the firewalls. Nothing works.

Thanks!
(3) And I do not believe I have Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 installed on this computer, as I just tried to install it and I received this error message: http://i45.tinypic.com/a3m7bc.png
Okay ... that rules out one possible treatment. Sometimes people with the redistributable installed can get past this by applying a security update for it ... but it looks like the same sorts of problems are preventing it from installing.
(2) And last time I checked my History I had several failures I believe, however now I only see one failed update, that being Update for Windows (KB944036). The error code listed 8000FFFF. Apparently it's an update for Internet Explorer 8.
The other primary strategy we (I?) have for dealing with these is to attempt to treat any underlying issues on the PC that prevent Windows Updates from installing. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that your 8000FFFF is related to your IE being uninstalled, I think we'd probably better try following up on the following document:
[Error when you download updates using Windows Update or Microsoft Update: 8000FFFF|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414]
After applying those measures, do your Windows update and/or iTunes installation failures clear up?
