E63 Software updater fails to start, configuration...

When I try to run the Nokia software update, I get this cryptic message:
Shutting down the application
Configuration error
Nokia Software Updater has detected a configuration error. For more help, click here.
Clicking for help leads to a generic page that is essentially no help.
Anyone seen this before?
I am running Windows XP Pro on a decently equipped machine.
(I'd attach a screenshot, but I can't figure out how to do that on this editor.)

I have PC suite 7.1.40.1
I do not have Ovi Suite.
In order to do the update, I am using a stand alone update from Nokia called Nokia Software Updater v 2.4.1en-us. I got this application by going to Nokiausa.com and selecting my phone model and downloading the updater they indicate for my phone.
PC Suite does have an "update software" button, but all this button does is start the stand alone updater, which gives the aforementioned "configuration error."

  • When I click on Firefox it opens with a box that says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments-. " then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle) The update could not be install

    When I click on Firefox the first time it says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments…. (with a green bar)" then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle)
    The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." When I click the ok, Firefox opens up. If I open another Firefox window with the previous one still running, it doesn't give me any of these messages, it just opens normally.

    If you can't install on top of the current installation then you need to delete or rename the current Firefox program folder to do a clean install.
    It is possible that your security software is using or locking files, so you can try to temporarily disable that software during the installation.

    Hi athol49,
    Which account you have used to logon this machine?
    This error code is mostly related with the service permission, which indicates that the permission is not configured correctly.
    Try to boot into safe mode and check this issue again, make sure there is no 3rd-party software involved.
    Next thing is to create another admin account( or enable the built-in admin account to create a new admin account, as this one have permisssion issues), then check this issue again.
    Further, run the DISm command to make sure there is no component issue:
    DISM /Online
    /Cleanup-Image
    /RestoreHealth
    /source:WIM:X:\sources\Install.wim:1
    /LimitAccess
    Where the X: is the drive for the install media, or the mounted ISO.

  • IOS 7 Software Update Failed

    Software Update Failed - An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0 Message.

    After retrying 8-10 times, the process seems to be going ahead as it should. 
    Updating my iPad 3 OTA; past "Downloading" (where previous failures occurred accompanied by the error "Software Update Failed: An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0") and now in final stages of "Preparing Update...".  No changes were made to iPad configuration, to network, etc. in between retries. 
    Also, continually received errors downloading iTunes 11.1 for Windows but after a similar number of retries was successful at this as well.
    It would seem that the widespread prognosis of high server load has merit.  As in life, a bit of patience applied goes a long way.  Keep trying, jackh003; soon the memories of primitive iOS6 will be behind you as you explore iOS 7.

  • "The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again"

    Hi
    I just had my xperia Z3c in repairs, and now I seem to have the death screen or something. When I connect to a wall charger or my MacBook, it starts turning on and off, displaying the message "The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again", even when it's connected to the wall charger, not the Mac. I've tried pushing the volume up + on/off button for 10 seconds, and Sony Bridge for Mac doesn't recognize the device. I was told to let it charge for an hour before turning it on at the store, which I did, but again, it starts flashing that message as soon as I connect it to anything.
    Pleease help me out
    Best regards
    Maria

  • The software update failed

    Downloading the latest firmware took forever (3 hours and still at 30%). Then I accidently unplugged the USB cable. Now my phone says "The software update failed" and I am unable to turn it on or connect using The Sony Bridge for Mac. How can I fix this?

    You may need to perform a software repair using PC companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
    Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
    Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

  • Still getting "Software Update Failed" when attempting to download iOS 7 on iPhone 4S.

    I've tried countless times now to download iOS 7 on my 4S which is currently running iOS 6.1.3. It downloads completely then in the "Preparing Update..." stage it gives me an error box saying "Software Update Failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0." The same thing happens every time, I've rebooted and reset my pone several times as well as logging in an out of my Apple ID all with no success. It's not like it takes an unusual amount of time downloading or anything, and once it finishes downloading it shows less storage in the "About" section in "Settings" but goes back to where it was once it gives the error message. Just a note, I was able to download iOS 7 on my iPad 3 the day the software was released without a long waiting period or any hassle. I appreciate any input. Thank you.

    Thanks for the response. I have 16.5 GB of available space at the moment. I've tried it connected to a wall charger and connected to my wifi, my schools wifi, and my gyms wifi all with no success. I have not tried it from iTunes but after posting this question a few suggestioned discussions came up, one of which recommended backing up to iCloud or iTune and then performing a complete restore. I'm in the process of doing that now, whether it works or doesn't work I will get back to either way. Thanks again.

  • Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0

    I can't seem to update my iPad mini.  Looks like the release of iOS 7 just came out and it's not letting me update.  I keep getting a message "Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0".
    Can anyone from apple tell me why I'm getting this message?  And how to resolve it.
    Thanks for any help.

    The entire planet Earth is trying to download the same thing at the same time.

  • I've been trying for 2 weeks to update my iPhone 4S (7.0.6) to iOS 7.1 OTA but it fails all the time...telling me software update failed..I need some support pls!!

    The problem occurres after the downloading is complete and when its in "Preparing Update" procedure and specfically in its last progress (near the end). Suddenly a message pop ups saying that "Software Update Failed" \n "An error occured downloading iOS 7.1."

    Did it work for you with iTunes?
    I have the same problem with my iPad mini. I have done almost all updates of my iOS devices OTA.
    I never update issues before.
    Also iPad 2 and iPhone 5 just worked fine.
    Only now my iPad mini struggles with the update. Did a factory reset too.
    And now have iOS 7.0.2 (11A501) on an iPad Model MD543FD/A.
    World prefer OTA instead of iTunes.
    Thank you for any help.

    Hey there,
    As Sneaky_Mouse suggested the best option is atm iTunes. Servers are probably going crayze.
    If you cannot do it like that as well you can look for an iOS 7 ipsw (image file) and then, hold down either Option or Shift (on a Mac or Windows PC) and click Update; this will allow you to select the ipsw image.

  • 4S update from 7.1.2 to 8.1.2, says Software update failed

    The device is confirmed it is a 4s, but we never upgraded to IOS 8 yet.  I continue to get the Software Updated failed and the close and settings box comes up.  Whichever you click on it goes back to the update screen.  I am on very fast Wifi and the device is plugged in.  Two days ago it said there was not enough space, so we deleted videos and now there is 5.7 GB available.  I tried to update through ITunes, but the internet is too slow at home and it says 20 hours to update.  We tried that twice and after 15 hours the "software update failed" notification comes up.  Any ideas?  I also turned off the phone and turned it back on.

    I would reset the phone - no data loss involved - and try again

  • Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 8.1.3

    I can not get the phone to update the OS? I tried different wifi points, and still no luck. I tried this at least 6 times with the same result. It looks to download, and then says it is 'preparing' for a while, and then it pukes out the message "Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 8.1.3". Anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks!
