Does DirectX 9.0c Runtime install on Windows 8?

Will DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtime install on Windows 8? It installs on Windows 7 so I assume it's ok on Win8. Has anyone done this install and can confirm it works? I have an app that uses DirectSound and I need to know if it will run before I migrate
to Win 8. Thanks for any replies.

Andre, Thanks for that link. Exactly what I needed to know.
BTW, just for completeness... Many people are not aware that DirectX 10 or later, is a whole different architecture from DX 9.0c. And that both DX 9.0c and DX10+ can be installed on a machine and coexist. For example, Microsoft deprecated DirectSound (and some
other components) in DX10+, so if you have a program that needs one of the deprecated components, you need to install DX 9. I installed both on my Win7 machine with no problem.

CS3 is unsupported under Windows 8. That said, you'll need to contact Adobe
directly for serial number issues.

PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4. How do I get my old fonts back? Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts. Dell Precision, Windows 7. Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own? If so, where are they in the directory? A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program. Please help. If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them? Thanks.

All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS. Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
I don't do windows myself.

Trying to download itunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

I solved the problem! The updates orignally were downloaded to the C: drive of the server. I've since moved them to the E: drive and for some reason the Content folder in IIS didn't change the file path to the new WSUScontent folder.
The root cause for this was failing to use the UTILITY designed for this very purpose.
I edited the virtual directory settings in IIS and was able to put the correct path in.
You still need to use the UTILITY.. to fix all the other stuff you're still missing.
In the %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Tools folder...
WSUSUTIL MOVECONTENT E:\WSUS E:\WSUS\MoveContent.LOG -SKIPCOPY
This problem was caused by moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.
No. This problem was caused by IMPROPERLY moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.

Installing LabView 8.2 runtime engine on Windows 7 64-bit

We have a product built on LabView 8.2
For a couple of years, we have been distributing this product on Windows 7 64-bit systems with no trouble at all.
Today, we received a customer complaint indicating that the LabView 8.2 runtime engine cannot be installed on Windows 7 64-bit.
Our verification team has confirmed this to be true.
Interestingly, we have several Windows 7 64-bit computers with the LabView 8.2 runtime engine already installed.
How is this possible?
Has something changed in Windows that no longer allows the LabView 8.2 runtime engine?
We are confused by the fact that this appears to be a new problem and the runtime engine did, at some point, install correctly on multiple Windows 7 64-bti computers.
Any thoughts would be extremely appreciated.

No, i dont think the 8.2 installer is corrupt, but it uses the Windows Installer service, which according the image has some problems. Maybe it recently updated? It's incompatible with that old installer so you need to downgrade it? It's corrupted and needs some fix?

The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix? I'm not able to roll back to the prior version, so I'm stuck in limbo.

There have been a number of problems with installing the latest iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit machines during the last couple of weeks. You might want to do a search on that topic and see if anyone has a solution. There have been various versions of the problem but a lot related to errors in the download package or failure to download.

This is the best I can do. This way you can use the 2011 MBA way to do things.
Look for the post from @jacktourist. (on page 2 about half way down) This seems to be the easiest.
There are a couple of more similar to this with pictures I've seen around but can't remember where.
Here's another search with added info. It's easier then it sounds.

Acrobat Pro 7.0 does not install on Windows 7, how can I get a version that does?

I recently downloaded and tried installing the non-activation version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 7.0 on my Windows 7 PC. After researching the installation error I read some posts that Acrobat 7.0 does not install on Windows 7. What are my options?

AA 7 will install, but it will not run very cleanly. A lot of things require workarounds. However, it is strongly recommended that you upgrade to AA XI for use on Win7 or Win8. AA 7 is not fully compatible and playing with workarounds is not a great use model. Looks like the price just came down also. You will have to purchase the full version. The upgrade version requires at least AA 9.

How backup/save software installed on T400 before doing clean install of Windows 7?

Hi
I have a Thinkpad T400 2764-CTO Running Vista Business 32-bit and want to do a clean install to Windows 7 Pro.
Sounds like I can get all the drivers via System Update 4.0, but I'm concerned about how to save/re-install some of the software that came on the machine.
In particular, Intervideo WinDVD and Roxio Media Import. If I go to my Programs folder and copy the folders for Roxio and InterVideo onto a flash drive, and then re-copy into the Programs folder on the C drive after a clean install, does that work?
I've never used Rescue and Recovery on the laptop, and am not sure how it works. Any advice is appreciated.
I'm not sure I even know all the stuff that exists from the factory. Anything else I should be concerned about? Thanks! - Kathleen

"In particular, Intervideo WinDVD and Roxio Media Import. If I go to my Programs folder and copy the folders for Roxio and InterVideo onto a flash drive, and then re-copy into the Programs folder on the C drive after a clean install, does that work?"
As Maliha said (or implied) that doesn't work. Just copying installed programs doesn't set up the registry entries or any data folders and files they may use in your user files.
You might consider copying your entire user directory to large flash or DVD or external hard drive as a way to preserve your personal data and program data files. Things like Thunderbird mail or Firefox bookmarks are in C:\users\kathleenklein\appdata\... (which may not be visible unless you make them so) and can be plugged back into your Windows 7 install.
"I've never used Rescue and Recovery on the laptop, and am not sure how it works. Any advice is appreciated."
First, have you made your factory recovery media? That ensures that you can revert to factory Lenovo setup if you ever want to. To give the machine to your little brother, for instance. It will burn a pair of CDs and one or more DVDs.
You can/should also use R&R to save a current whole-disk image to external media. That lets you fall back to your current setup if necessary. This is likely to be fairly large. An external hard drive is usually required. Use advanced R&R to set up the target and start things off. Once you are sure that Win 7 is going to work for you, you can get rid of the saved Vista image and use the drive for your Windows 7 backups. You do make backups...
R&R can't (AFAIK) save your Vista user stuff and restore it to WIn 7.
Is this a clean install using Lenovo media or is it Microsoft vanilla? I just did a MS Vanilla 7 install. Since the service and recovery partitions in the Lenovo Visa drive configuration will be useless in a WIn 7 install (if MS vanilla) I used the advanced option and had the Win 7 install delete all partitions and just do its thing. It created a small boot partition and used the rest of the drive for C:
After installing '7, install the latest TVSU and let it pull down the basic/necessary Lenovo drivers and apps. After that you may choose to install the latest R&R. Surprisingly, it can be used to make backups even without the Lenovo partitions present. I've verified that by making a full image and restoring to a bare drive.
It's handy to Install '7, do a MS update, install TVSU, do a Lenovo update, install R&R and then burn a recovery set of CDs and DVDs so you can rewind to a sort of base-usefull-initially-updated condition should that be necessary.

Runtime error on Windows Mobile 6.1 after install

I have a Windows Mobile 6.1 Classic device (non-phone),
CE OS 5.2.21041 (Build 21041.1.6.0)
Processor is an ARM1136 MX31
Memory: 115.09Mb
I installed the 3.0 SDK, and copied and installed the CAB file on the device per the instructions on the website.
When I click on the "Sun Java CLDC Emu" icon, I get the following error message:
"The file 'sun_jwc' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file"
I tried removing and reinstalling - same error. Everything seemed to go ok with the CAB installation.
Any suggestions as to what to check/test?
Regards,

Hello,
we don't sign the java runtime cab nor the executables inside it. So to be able to run it on a device, the device needs to have security lowered at least to the level at which the user is asked for permission when he is installing / running an unsigned cab / executable. In the context of Windows Mobile security, it means that the device's security configuration needs to be set to "Two-Tier-Prompt", "One-Tier-Prompt" or "Security-Off" (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms839681.aspx for more details).
Changing of the security configuration might require device manufacturer's or operator's assistance.
In some cases it can be done by the user. Some of them are listed below:
1) the user has a registry editor application which can run on the device and can change the device registry (such application needs to be signed by a certificate which is trusted by the device)
2) the device has installed Microsoft Windows Mobile development certificates
3) the device allows the user to install the Microsoft Windows Mobile development certificates
Of these the 2 and 3 is more likely, so If it's your case, try the following:
1) Install Windows Mobile SDK (http://www.microsoft.com/DownLoads/details.aspx?familyid=06111A3A-A651-4745-88EF-3D48091A390B&displaylang=en)
2) Install "<WM SDK>/Tools/Security/SDK Development Certificates/Certs.cab" on the device
3) Go to "<WM SDK>/Tools/PocketPC/Security/Security Configuration" and use one of the cpf file to change the device's security configuration (see <WM SDK>/Tools/PocketPC/Security/Security Configuration/ReadMe.txt)

Java ME SDK team

T420 hyper-v does not install after windows 8.1 RTM

I am a developer and I had to upgrade my system to windows 8.1 RTM.
My machine was orginally windows 7, I upgraded to windows 8 and after a few patches and updates all was well. I ran hyper-v vms on my machine the last 1 1/2 year successfully. After the upgrade to 8.1 it would not install the hyper-v feature.
I verified after the install that my BIOS still had both virtualizaiton settings enabled. i saw other posts that the issue could be attributed the network card, or video card, or USB 3 being enabled. I am suspecting network driver as I used to run CISCO VPN client 5.x on my windows 8. However, on windows 8 Cisco vpn client did not work if I used the wireless adapter. I got around that issue by using ShrewSoft VPN when I needed to use my wireless network adapter for VPN. Both completely stop working, and once uninstalled could NOT be installed again on windows 8.1 system.
I also saw that Lenovo may not release 8.1 drives until october, but I really need them now as I can't restore back to windows 8.0 because I need the 8.1 kernel for my work, but then I also need hyper-v to work as well. Any help or sugguestions are welcome.
A quick point about the message: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-8/Hyper-V-on-Windows-8-not-working/m-p/844685/highlight/true#M51...
vmware does not work if he didn't have virtualization BIOS settings set.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When I tried to do a clean install of windows 8.1, I found out that I had a bad iso image. I downloaded it again and then did a clean install and everything works fine now.
