Failing Installation of Win7 on i7+ATI4850 iMac

The Windows7 (32-bit OEM Home Premium) installation does a couple of restarts and after the second boot gets stuck on a black screen.
Is the partial Win7 installation not able to drive the 4850 gpu?
It seems I cannot continue the installation of Win7 on the Core i7 iMac because I can't see what I have to do next.

@Ocean:
It's interesting that I was able to install Win7 on my 2006 Mac Pro when Apple says it can't be done. It runs fine. I used the Boot Camp drivers on the MacOSX.6.0 install disk. It's possible I guess that there was no (up-to-date) driver for the multi-touch track pad and stuff like that but a Mac Pro does not have the need for that.
My Mac Pro exercise reinforced for me that the early versions of the Win7 DVD can install on earlier Intel hardware but Microsoft did not include base capability for graphics cards like the ATI 4850. Hence the blackout. Maybe a later Win7 DVD will be able to install on an iMac which has 4850 graphics. Perhaps I have to wait for SP1 included on the DVD.
Of course there is a workaround for this sort of thing where I can slipstream a copy of the DVD to include coverage for the 4850 graphics but I have no idea how to do that. Maybe someone in the Mac Support community here will figure it out soon.
As for an updated Boot Camp Assistant promised before the end of the year, I don't see how that can install the missing ATI 4850 support on the Win7 DVD.
So the ball is in Microsoft's court.

    Hello Paul,
    This seems to be a known issue:
    Client cvpnd.exe errors on bootup if certain vendor's firewall installed.
    However, just to try further options, what if you try this?
    Restart VPN Client Service if You Install VPN Client before Zone Alarm
    Also check: Check Point Integrity Firewall Incompatibility, found in the link above.
    From the Zone Alarm FW, make sure you have the following advanced firewall options enabled:
    Allow VPN protocols
    Allow uncommon protocols at high security
    Enable IPv6 networking
    HTH
    Portu.

    I want to install Win7 on my new iMac using bootcamp. I got a USB drive for the win7 install-disc, but I don't own a cd for the Mac OS (since it was preinstalled when I got it). I read somewhere that I need a mac OS disc as well to complete the bootcamp installation of Win7 ?
    I need some recomendations plz.

    Hello,
    you don't need OS X install-disk, but I strongly recomend to burn a Win 7 disk. You may have some problems with installing it from a USB Flash :)

    anyone have experience with this problem?

    Hi Bill, yes, I can do that. Created one several levels deep.
    I assume you mean HS is running on Vista. It's not clear if you're
    problem is in creating that directory on RDS remote host (from a HS
    client running Vista) or specifically in also creating the
    directory on an RDS remote host (or localhost) running Vista. I was
    able to create a directory several levels deep on both a remote
    machine (not running Vista) and my localhost running Vista, both
    via RDS.
    I'll add, FWIW, that I'm running HomeSite+ 5.5 (not HomeSite
    5.0). If you (or others) really are still on 5.0, there's at least
    a free update to HS 5.2 (
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/resourcecenter/resourcecenter.cfm?pagename=hs%5F52%5Fupdater& loc=en%5Fus&)
    To update to HS 5.5, it would cost a HS 5.0 customer US$29.
    More at
    http://www.adobe.com/products/homesite/productinfo/upgrade/
    That said, no release of HS specifically lists Vista as
    supported (see the requirements page, which lists Win2k3 as tha
    latest OS specifically supported):
    http://www.adobe.com/products/homesite/productinfo/systemreqs/
    I'll point out as well that if one has Dreamweaver 8, that
    includes HomeSite+ 5.5 free on the CD (you use the DW license to
    register it).
    If anyone would ask about the difference between HomeSite and
    HomeSite+, I'd point you to a blog entry I did (one of many, by
    myself and others over the years):

    Hope that's helpful.

  • Windows 8 64-bit, failed installations and RAID 1 resync on HP ENVY h8-1520z

    I recently purchased an HP Envy h8-1520z with a single SSD and 8 GB RAM running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.  I installed 2 Western Digital 500 GB WDC WD5000AAKX-001CA0 HDDs on SATA ports 5 & 6 and configured them as RAID 1 in the BIOS.  I have started installing apps on the RAID 1 array (E since the SSD is only 256 GB.
    While installing software, some install fine, but often the installation hangs with no errors indicated and I have to kill the installer task through task manager.  I usually follow that with a system shutdown or restart and almost every time that results in a resync of the RAID array.  Sometimes the shutdown or restart is quick, and other times it takes several minutes with intermittent disk activity as indicated by the drive light.  I have sometimes given up after 10 minutes or so and powered down by holding down the power button.  I can understand a resync after the forced power down, but it seems that all it takes to cause a resync is a failed installation, and that seem to happen a lot, even with software that explicitly says it is Windows 8 compatible.  Sometimes the applications run fine even after an apparently failed installation and other times not so much.
    Has anybody else seen this behavior or have any suggestions?  I’d like to get this sorted out before I load any more software.

    Hi,
    Did you check each hard drive for straps? There should not be any straps installed on the hard drive. These drives do have strapping posts.
    Did you use the AMD RaidExpert to create the array volume?  Did you wait until the RAID migration was complete before using the array volume?
    Check the AMD RaidExpert for errors. It's possible that you have a bad hard drive(s).
    Many applications want to be installed on the C drive.  Your SSD is 256GB so you should have plenty of space for most applications and the application performance will be improved.  Use the RAID 1 array to keep and store your data. The mirroring process of RAID 1 will protect it in case one hard drive fails.
    You might want to consider removing all of the data etx.. from the array, use the AMD RAIDExpert to delete out the array volume.  I would then run for hard drive diagnostics.  If the hard drives are free from errors then use disk management to separately reformat each hard drive.  Now go back to the AMD RaidExpert and create your new array volume.
    Be sure to review the software and bios updates for your PC.

  • Failed installation: How to rerun Adobe Application Manager updates for Photoshop CS6

    Hi.
    The installation of  Adobe Extension Manager CS6 failed - while 2 others update for Photoshop CS6 did intall. I was installing Adobe Reader X .
    That's why I discovered the notication from the application manager about updates for CS6 - and I just confirmed that as well.
    Apparently the Reader installation blocked only the update installation of Adobe Extension Manager CS6 - saying another installation process was running ... such stuff happens sometimes.
    However, it seems Adobes Application Manager update module does not track its failed installations? It does not automatically advertise that update has not been installed and notifiying me again to install it. At least not immediately ...
    So how do I rerun the Adobe Application Manager update moduel to check for updates manually?

    You go Photoshop CS6 > Help > Updates ...

  • Installation failed installation completed through some components failed to instal correctly

    Hello i've been really exited to donload photoshop and so i decided to try the free version i downloaded creative cloud and went into th eapps and click on photoshop try it free i waited a few 30 mins and it stopped and told me this
    installation failed installation completed through some components failed to instal correctly.
    and then i was like whatttt?!?!?!?!?
    so I decided to come here and ask why this is happening please answer ASAP I really need photoshop for important stuff!!!

    Try restarting your computer, then try again. Awhile back, some of the apps which I think included photoshop require the microsoft runtime to be updated. That runtime requires a restart to finish installing. But since it is a piggyback program, the error code telling you do so is hidden in the log file.
    If it still does not install let us know.

  • Failed installation but space available going down. How do I delete files?

    Hey I bought Sims 3 a few months back when I was using OSX 10.5 and then I upgraded to Snow Leopard when it came out and now I need to reinstall the game. I have tried about 5 times and each time the install stops working (gets to copying file x of y and doesn't move past this point). Unfortunately now it's gotten to the point where I only have 2.8GB free space on my HDD. I can't find any sims or EA files on my HDD so I can't delete them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Model Name: MacBook
    Model Identifier: MacBook4,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.1 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1

    L2 Cache: 3 MB
    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: MB41.00C1.B00

    Only once you know where that information is located, which we don't and EA does. Someone on these boards may happen to know, but even if they do, you've still got a failing installer to troubleshoot, and again, EA knows their installer best.

    I have had similar issues with a G4 1.25 Dual
    After HD failure, managed to resurrect computer with OSX10.4.11 on a new 500GB PATA drive. Once almost everything was working (couldn't send email despite settings being same as Macbook Pro running Leopard) I decided to update to Leopard
    On first attempt - the installation failed saying HD was wrong format. Using Disk utility confirmed that no permissions errors and that it was Mac OS Extended (Journaled) which I thought was correct.
    Second attempt and this HD now has Yellow triangle with Exclamation mark stating that I cannot install on this HD.
    I have another new 500GB PATA drive which I can slot into the computer. I was advised about partitioning to 2x250GB. What type of install ought I to do bearing in mind that I have spent many hours resurrecting the OSX 10.4.11 software with settings etc.
    Another issue is that 2 of the existing HDs are no longer readable. They are detected in Disk Utility, but no longer display Volume name. When I restart computer, it gives the following dialogue box
    Disk Insertion
    The disk you inserted was not readable by the computer
    Then 3 buttons: Initialize, Ignore or Eject
    So far I have been pressing Ignore as I do not want to wipe data. Mac Help hasn't been able to when searching for Disk Insertion or Initialize or Initialise.
    Your issue is not similar and you should start a new thread since the original poster's problem is solved.
    It is always best to start a new thread rather than add to an existing one with a new problem/issue. It only confuses the responses, since nobody can tell to whom they are directed.

  • Installer Logs Location for Troubleshooting Failed Installs.

    I'm attempting to troubleshoot failed installations on packages built with the Mac version of AAMEE 3.0.  Where are the installer logs located that give relevant failure information?  The system log only passes along the generic "The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." message when the install fails.  Thanks.

    The detail logs can be found at PDApp.log file present in user specific temp folder. You can find this folder using %temp%\PDApp.log (if msi is run from logged-in user account) OR [BootDrive]:\windows\Temp\PDAp.log. (No user logged in)
