Error Message: "This upgrade path is not supported"

Scenario
During the process of upgrade to Windows 10 Technical Preview, we may encounter the error “This upgrade path is not supported. Please close Setup and re-launch from the root of the media or go back and pick a different installation
choice.” in the Compatibility report.
Analysis
Step 1: Perform the scenario 1: the upgrade installation fails.
Reproduce this error following the steps below:
Download the Windows 10 Technical Preview ISO installation file.
Extract the ISO installation file to C:\New folder, and now the location of the installation file is
C:\New folder\9841.0.140912-1613.FBL_RELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_X64FRE_EN-US\.
Click setup.exe from the installation file, and then click
Install now.
Setup is starting, and then get two options Upgrade and
Custom which is the classic setup wizard which we can see during booting from DVD.
Click Upgrade to run upgrade installation, however, the error occurs.
It seems that it is impossible to perform upgrade installation to Windows 10 Technical Preview, although it is fine to click
Custom to perform clean installation which cannot keep the personal setting and applications.
However, what we want is upgrade installation, not clean installation.
Step 2: Perform the scenario 2: the upgrade installation works fine.
If extract the ISO installation to C:\New in the above step2, click the
setup.exe from the installation file C:\New\9841.0.140912-1613.FBL_RELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_X64FRE_EN-US\, the upgrade installation would work fine, which is as shown the following two figures:
Step 3: Check the setupact.log
file which contains information about setup actions during the installation of the two scenarios.
Scenario 1: Check the setupact.log file of the scenario 1. The detailed information is shown as below:

Scenario 2: Check the setupact.log file of the scenario 2. The detailed information is shown as below:
2014-10-14 19:08:04, Info UI Determining whether we should run ConX or legacy setup
2014-10-14 19:08:05, Info UI Will launch ConX setup experience

According to the two logs, we can get the following points:
In scenario 1, it would invoke the SetupPrep.exe in the source folder directly to perform an installation preparation. However, it failed to recognize the path
C:\New folder\9841.0.140912-1613.FBL_RELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_X64FRE_EN-US\Sources\SetupPrep.exe. Then it would launch legacy setup.
In the scenario 2, Windows setup would be redirected to the ConX setup to perform upgrade installation automatically.
So, what is the difference of the scenario 1 and 2 to bring the different results of upgrade installation?
Workaround
Based on lots of testing, we find that if there is no space in the extracting location of the ISO installation
file, the upgrade installation would work fine.
What’s more, we can get the meaning of the two setup models in the setupact.log:
Legacy setup: it is same with setup from DVD boot.
ConX setup: it would check the compatibility and language UI for upgrade preparation, then perform migration and upgrade directly.

Hello,
I would guess that existence of a space in the folder name is what the issue is. Try removing the space from the folder name and see if works. New_Folder for example

After starting my computer today and trying to visit and open bookmarked web sites, I cannot open them because I am getting this error message: This web site does not supply identity information. What happened? How do I fix it? Thanks

Today, when I tried to open web sites in Firefox from my Bookmarks, I could not. I continually received the following error message: This web site does not supply identity information.
I noticed that when I put the cursor on the box to the left of the address, that message appears. There is also '''no''' https:// before the address.
Can anyone help correct this problem? I believe sometime last week I may have fiddled with the Secutity settings in the Tools/Security option box and may have screwed up something trying not to have sites use cookies to track me?
Thanks,
Bob

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I have tried to view videos created in premiere elements 10 and I get the following message: "this file type is not supported, or the required codec is not installed. When it opens there is a red screen in the monitor panel with Korean writing which also appears in the place of each clip in the video. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling premiere elements 10, but that did not have any effect on the video. Do you have any suggestions? I researched codec, but do not understand them at all.

In case you did not find it, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement on Premiere Elements 19/NVIDIA GeForce
that appears at the top of this forum.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

Error Message: This Apple ID has not yet been used with Itunes Store

I set up Apple ID. When I try to make purchase on Itunes Store, systems asks for Apple ID & Password. When I enter, I receive Error Message: This Apple ID has not yet been used with Itunes Store. Options to click Review Account or Cancel. When I click Review Account, it asks for my Apple ID & Password again and gives me the same Error Message. How do I make a purchase?

This isnt an error message as such, but it should give you the option to review and confirm your account details, which is necessary before you can use the account on that machine.

I keep getting this error message "Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight" even though I have a 64 bit system?

Netflix requires Microsoft Silverlight plug in to view their videos. Every time I try to load it I get the following error message...Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight. I have a 64bit system with Windows Vista Home Premium. Firefox 33.0 is installed.
Any suggestions?

Your User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; '''WOW64'''; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
As said Firefox for Windows from mozilla.org is a 32-bit application. The WOW64 in UA means it is a 32-bit application on 64-bit Windows.
Before you ask if there will be a Win64 version of Firefox. If all goes well the first phase of having Win64 for Release may be as early as Firefox 37.0

Error Message: "The formula syntax is not supported by the report"

We are using 'Development Environment: SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010 u2013 Standard ' and using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine and CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer APIu2019s
I am reading SQLExpressionFields from one source .rpt file & want to add it to another ReportDocument. While doing so, it gives an error " The formula syntax is not supported by the report"
doc.ReportClientDocumentDataDefController.FormulaFieldController.Add(formualField); // formualField is SQLExpressionField from source ReportDocument
But when I tried to Add FormulaField, it succeeds
Please help me in knowing how to add SQlExpressionFields to ReportDocument.
Regards,
-atul

Thanx Don & Ludek for the reply.
CR provides support for addition/modification of SQLExpressions.
CRAXDRT.Application application = new CRAXDRT.ApplicationClass();
CRAXDRT.Report innerReport = application.OpenReport(path, CROpenReportMethod.crOpenReportByTempCopy);
innerReport .SQLExpressionFields.Add(name, strSQLExpression)
CRAXDRT.dll provides support for addition/modification of SQLExpression fields. But its not compatible with 64bit.
Just curious to know, is there any future plan to provide support for add/modify SQLExpression fields?
Thanx

Error message, this patch package could not be opened

I have been unable to use the Adobe reader for sometime but I now really need it. I have tried updating, reloading, removing to reinstall but at every move I continually get the message above and I cannot get around it no matter what I try. I cannot even remove the program from the list as this same message keeps popping up and I cannot proceed. I need help!!! The original package that came with the computer was version 7 current is 11 but it has never worked and I am unable to continue the install due to the above message also cannot delete, I have deleted all adobe keys in the registry even that does not help....

Assuming that you are on Windows
download and run the Acrobat Cleaner Tool from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
