Getting "object already exists" message when trying to install new software.

Quite coincidentally, I came across a solution for the "object already exists" message that had recently been interferring with the downloading of new software. This solution was offered by another on a different website, but it has solved my problem.
My operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate.
The Windows Security Update KB2918614 seems to be wreaking havoc with some systems. It did so with mine.
After removing this particular update, I am now able to install software (was actually just trying to reinstall my HP printer software as I am having another issue with it).
Don't know if this will help anyone else, but it worked for me.

To rid myself of the "object already exists" issues due to the Windows Security Update KB2918614 . . . I have learned that an additional step must be taken to keep Windows Updates from automatically reinstalling this update . . . once again, preventing installation of software.
One needs to hide the update to prevent Window Updater from reinstalling.
Taken from the Windows community:

The update in question can be hidden, which will prevent this update from downloading and installing.
To hide this update:
       Open Control Panel
       Open Security
       Select ‘Windows Update
       Select the option View Available Updates in the upper left hand corner
       Locate the update in question, right click and select ‘Hide Update’
Thanks
Once again, my operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate and this particular update was causing difficulty for my specific operating system.

Flashbuilder stalls when trying to install new software

hey all, for some reason Flashbuilder does not want to install new software. It just sits there forever calculating. Has anyone else seen this before? It used to work fine. Not sure what's changed.

Thanks for your help in advance....

Did you ever figure out the problem? "Contact Software Manufacturer"?? That sounds ominous... I've got the same issue and I'm pretty durn aggravated right about now....

I'm getting an 'objects already exist' error when trying to download itunes

My iPhone 6 wouldn't connect to iTunes since it need to update. So I went to uninstall iTunes and all it's contents. I went to download iTunes again, but when I did I received an 'Object already exists' error. I went to look at more information on the Apple website and I tried everything I could but I keep receiving the error. I uninstalled anything related to Apple on my computer and I went to the Program Files folder on my computer and found nothing related to Apple so I'm pretty sure I deleted all the data already. I really need help with this. I have a Windows 7 computer.

For "Object already exists" or "Access denied" errors when installing try opening Control Panel > Programs and Features > View installed updates then checking for Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB2918614). Uninstall if you have it, then reboot and try installing again.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Getting Object already exist error when installing adobe reader

I'm unable to install any Adobe application programs on my Windows 7 machine. I tried Adobe Reader XI, Lightroom 5.6, Photoshop CC, etc. All resulted with "Object Already Exist" error. I searched on Adobe site for fix, and there was one to delete Crypto file. However, this resulted with the same error. How can I install Adobe Reader?

Your approach is correct in identifying the error. I used ProcMon from Sysinternals (now Microsoft) and came up with the following events leading up to "Object already exists" error. The error occurs after opening C:\Users\%account%\AppData\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-....... file. If the Crypto directory is missing, MSIEXEC.EXE will create along with RSA subdirectory and file name starting with S-1-5..... There were five NAME NOT FOUND events, and their sequence is
     Windows Installer Logging item in HKLM\SOFTWARE registry
     C:\Users\%account%\AppData\Local\Temp\MSI7058d.LOG (this file was created at the next step)
     Windows Installer Debug item in HKLM\SOFTWARE registry
     FontSubstitution in HKLM\SOFTWARE registry
     CTF Known Classes item in HKLM|SOFTWARE registry
I don't know which one causing the error, but my suspicion is the last one. But I don't know how to fix it. Is there anyone who can give me insight to what is happening and how to fix it?

I keep getting time out error messages when trying to install flash player

I've put a new install of Win 7 64 bit pro onto a new hdd. All other s/w has worked fine and not given me any issues except for adobe flash player. If I just install FP 11 it installs ok. Issue happens when I try to install the "other" version for Steam. The install screen stops at 11%, shoots up to 47%, then I get a timeout error message. If I uninstall and install the Steam version 1st it works then the regular version gets the same timeout error. I have folllowed all advice from previous threads on this topic such as disabling firewall (I use Panda), a clean adobe install using the flash player uninstall program and removing reader as well then going through the registry and removing all mention of adobe, etc, etc.
I found a partial way around this. I installed the Steam version of flash player, then found a website that I could download flash player 10 executable from. I was able to run that and get both versions of flash player going on my system. Then the flash player went and found the update to version 11. I've just tried to install that and I end up with the exact same error messages all over again.
Is there website that I can download the executable file for flash player 11 from or a link to it on the adobe website?

I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

Error Messages when trying to install, uninstall or run iTunes 9

I get the following error message when trying to Install iTunes:
The path C:\DOCUME~1\Frank\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP206.TMP\iTunes.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
I search my entire computer for the file but it's not there.
Then, when I try to uninstall the iTunes and start the install from scratch I get another error:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"
Catch-22, I can't install or uninstall and when I try to run iTunes I get:
"The action is only valid for products that are installed"
Very frustrating but I'm stumped and I don't know how to proceed. Any help would be very much appreciated.

wooooooooo!!! got it working again!! having spent the last 6 hours..no joke six f*cking hours trying to sort it ive finally got iTunes back!!
ok here is what you need to do:
go to the link below and download the Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp Facility.
http://www.locksleynet.com/2009/06/09/missing-itunesmsi-problem-resolved/
once you have downloaded it, install it and run it from the start menu. once its up and running remove everything to do with iTunes (so iTunes itself, quicktime, bonjour......the lot). Dont worry about removing iTunes completely, all the music is still there when it works again trust me!!
ok once you have removed everything restart your computer, im not sure if this is a must but i did it.
next download quicktime from the apple website (go to the 'downloads' tab near the top. download and install quicktime and restart your computer so the new settings are put in to place ( i think it asks you to restart anyway).
go back to the apple website, 'downloads' tab and download iTunes itself. install that bad boy and you will be up and running with all your library intact!
Hope it works for you mate!

When I try to install Lightroom 5.6 I get a "Object already exists" message. I can't install it at all

I updated Lightroom to 5.6 before going away for the weekend. When I came home I was unable to access lighroom all together. After searching I finally found how to chat with customer service (which I can't figure out again) and they told me to uninstall Lightroom, make a new Admin on my computer, and re-install it on the new Admin. When I did this I still get the same "Object already exists" message and it won't even install now.

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* Delete the files and folders in the %temp% folder.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Getting "setup.exe has stopped working" message when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows 7 machine

I am getting a "setup.exe has stopped working" message when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows 7 machine. I already tried running setup.exe as an administrator with the same results. I have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed on the affected machine. Could this be the cause of this issue? Or does someone know the root cause of such error?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi - are you getting it at the start of installation, during or after 100% progress has finished?
Is it just LabVIEW you're installing, or is it drivers too, in which case, what was the last large package that was installing at the time?
This could be caused by the NVIDIA chipset driver :

I am getting a "connection timeout" message when trying to access my Airport Extreme with various laptops, Play Station 3 and Wii. My Airport Extreme is about a month old; it was working fine until about a week ago. Suddenly, the "timeout" is not allowing me to connect to my wireless network.

It could be that there's a new source of interference.
