Help! software won't install from installation

This is so maddening! I'm trying to install the software from the installation CD and I get error messages "cannot install....." throughout the installation. I called customer support earlier and they told me that my antivirus software is not allowing the software to install properly...so I uninstall a bunch of stuff and I'm STILL getting the error messages. So they said somethign about a microsoft Clean Boot, huh? I'm now 2 hours into this project and am really frustrated!! This was supposed to be fun! Anyone experince problems simply installing the software??

heatherd: You don't say what player you have I believe, but you can typically get the latest versions of the software from Nomadworld.com downloads. Sometimes it's better to download from there and install.

HELP, ilife won't install from CD!

I have ilife 8. And i wanted imovie 6 because of the effects it has. So my friend gave me a bundle software dvd (mac os x tiger and ilife 6). I wanted to install just imovie, which i can using this link as instruction http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2604. But when i try it says it cannot be installed because installed on this computer - make sure your system meets requirements". I do not want to install tiger, because i am now running leopard and do not have the restore disc for it.
Pleas help, thanks!

sorry, maybe I did not explain myself
the downloadable version was made available two years AFTER the disk you're trying to install, and it was an add-on to an existing installation of ilife 08
so you won't be able to partially install ilife 06 because your system is not supported, and you won't be able to easily download the more recent version because it was pulled by apple
so your only chance is find someone willing to upload the app (160MB) somewhere, or look for it on a p2p website (which borders the illegal, so you might not want to ask about it here)

Photosmart C4680 software won't install in Windows 8.1 64 bit

Photosmart C4680 software won't install in Windows 8.1 64 bit. The installer starts, then never does anything. I see it in Task Manager consuming resources forever:
Here is the version I am trying to run:

Hey!
Sorry for the drop-off from the thread, I must have missed your response, I apologize.
When it comes down to the actual installation and issues revolving around that; it is no longer an HP printer issue. It is an MSI (Microsoft Installer) issue.
For MSI support, I recommend for you to call Microsoft Technical Support at 1-800-642-7676.
Best of luck and let me know the outcome if you think of it. Have a great day!

New HDD installed in PowerBook G3, won't boot from installation disk.

I just installed a new hard drive in my G3 Wallstreet and I can't get it to boot from the original Apple CD.
I've tried holding the C key as well as +⌥+⇧+⌫, but to no avail.
The CD tests fine in my old iMac G4, so maybe the culprit is the optical drive, but then again, I'm not so sure.
Is there a way to either boot my PowerBook or install OSX from my iMac G4?
Message was edited by: rick268 Also, I can boot into Open Firmware just fine.

Thanks for your help.
WeLoveMacs wanted $50, but I just scored an entire topcase on eBay for $15, shipped. We'll see what happens.

In the years of keeping the old soldiers almost relavent, I ran into a "won't boot from a system disk" issue on two of them. In both cases, replacing a dead PRAM battery fixed the issue. Don't ask me why but that was the only thing that fixed them.
When I was supporting those, you could still get new Wallstreet batteries from Other World Computing. Today they no longer show them. I'm not sure where to steer your for a new one. USed batteries are like used chewing gum, IMHO.
You can try disconecting the wire from the PRAM battery to the logic board. That might help. Requires some take-down:

New Version of Software Won't Install

I am trying to download the newest version of Blackberry Desktop Manager (710_b042_multilanguage.exe) for PC and it won't install all the way. The message keeps saying I have previous versions of the software still installed. I tried installing all Blackberry apps, re-booting the PC and re-downloading the update from the website but it still comes up with the same message. Any suggestions to correct so I can download the application?

I finally found a solution to this problem
While performing some searches, I discovered this affected BOTH Blackberry Link AND Blackberry Desktop Software, so there should have been some ... link between the two.
There are many threads around, but each one refers only to one of the two softwares, but the common problems led me to understand that this is unrelated to the software package itself, but to automatic driver installation procedures
carried out by the installer (Windows INstaller)
Here's what I found:
Affected Environment: the problems shows up on Windows 7 and other Windows version machines, when installing or upgrading Blackberry Desktop Software, or Blackberry Link.
Sometimes, you have Desktop software installed and you want to install Link, OR you have Desktop software installed, it is working fine, but you need to upgrade it (automatically) to apply some software update -
some Desktop SOftware updates are required to update some devices.
Symptomps
The problems shows in exactly the same way, during the final steps of installation of either Blackberry Desktop 7 OR Blackberry Link.
You get a warning message saying
"Some of the installation files from the previous versions of the software could not be removed. Make sure that no other application is using these files."
open the
Users\$_you_user_name\AppData\Local\Temp
directory. You may need to choose hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer to see these
Choose to sort files by creation date, scroll to the most recent files, and look for one of these
BB_Desktop.log, if you're installing Blackberry Desktop Software
OR
BBLink_Install.log if you're installing Blackberry Link software.
Open your file with a text editor, and look for part of the error message "some of the installation" using the Find feature
The cursor should stop where the error occoured.
If the line above shows something referring to InstallRimUsbDriver, there are good chances you're exactly in my situation.
If you DON'T find the same error I found, the line above the error message should give you a clue about what's going on, and you may want to share it on this forum, however the solution below may not be applicable to you.
Solution
Before you begin BACKUP YOUR SYSTEM AND CREATE A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT. The best thing is to have a full hard drive image. While the following steps are quite straightforward, additional problems on your system may be creating a
potentially worse situation. Remember to backup your Blackberry device as well and also contacts/calendars/notes as these can be affected by the first sync after Desktop Software reinstallation.
While I'm listing all the steps I took, some of them may be unnecessary, however the uninstall/reinstall of Desktop Manager or Link software should be performed anyway, IMHO.
Uninstall Blackberry Desktop Software or Blackberry Link (I chose the "erase user data" option as well).
With the device still connected, Uninstall the Blackberry smartphone driver from Control Panel / Device Manager
Disconnect the device.
Open a command prompt window, and type
pnputil.exe -e
you'll get a list of devices/drivers, scroll as needed and take note of the "oemxx.inf" entries regarding Research In Motion devices.
(xx can be a 2 or 3 digits number)
type
pnputil.exe -f -d oemxxx.inf
to remove the entries regarding the Research in Motion devices.
Chech that the operation succeded after each action.
Restart system.
At this point, yoy may start reinstalling the Blackberry Desktop or Blackberry Link Software;
You may still get the error.
Now perform again the above actions regarding pnputil.exe to see if there are still Research in Motion devices appearing.
then open the
Users\$_you_user_name\AppData\Local\Temp
directory. You may need to choose hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer to see these (you should have done this before, see above)
Choose to sort files by creation date, scroll to the most recent files, and look for one of these
rim_usb_install_log (date stamp) - choose the most recent
Open it with a text editor
In my case, I found this(20:52:07): Entering ModifyRimUsbRegKey
(20:52:07): Exit ModifyRimUsbRegKey, RimUsb.sys count: 2
(20:52:07): InstallRimUsbDriver NT
(20:52:07): DeleteAllRIMInfFiles ENTER
(20:52:07): SetupUninstallOEMInf inf fileem192.inf ERROR 0xe000023c
Look for the oemxxx.inf (in this example is oem192.inf) file on your hard drive. Delete it.
Run the installer again. This time, I went into another error
(20:59:48): DisconnectDevices: Enter
(20:59:48): DisconnectDevices: CreateInstance failed. Error=0x80070002
(20:59:48): DisconnectDevices: Enter
(20:59:48): DisconnectDevices: CreateInstance failed. Error=0x80070002
Then rebooted and the install went fine.
Keep in mind that, whenever something goes wrong with these driver related action, you get little information in the main log file, but you get some more in this file.
After performing these action, reconnect the device, it should be recognized; you'll almost certainly need to reconfigure your sync preferences, and start synching again.
Please let me know if this helped.

Keynote won't install from CD

I just can't figured it out why after i install iwork '09 out from CD, only keynote won't open. I did the procedure 3 times already on my macbook pro lion... installation and software upgrades and such... but still only keynote won't install properly. Instead, it requires serial number to think it should not because it comes from the CD. The rest like pages and numbers are both working properly. I need help... i don't know what to do anymore.

sorry, maybe I did not explain myself
the downloadable version was made available two years AFTER the disk you're trying to install, and it was an add-on to an existing installation of ilife 08

Acrobat 9 Professional won't install from CS4 discs

I am not able to install Acrobat 9 Pro from my CS4 DVDs. All of the other programs install.
I have tried the following:
- Uninstalled all other versions of Acrobat Professional
- Copied the DVDs to the desktop and tried installing from there
- Used the Microsoft Windows Installer Utility (could not find any references to Acrobat Professional)
- Disabled anti-virus software
- Disabled Windows startup services that might conflict
Nothing has worked.
I found something online that indicated the problem might be a corrupt data1.cab file.
Does anyone have suggestions on what I can try next?
Thank you!

The Acrobat 9 download won't accept my CS4 license. What I ended up doing was jumping through several hoops to get this to work:
Edited Acrobat out of the registry - no change, still pauses during installation
Uninstall CS4 entirely
Run Adobe CS4 Clean Script - see http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
Run Microsoft Installer Cleanup program
Reinstall CS4 including Acrobat
Neither the registry edit, Clean Script or Microsoft installer cleanup fix the problem on their own. Yet, when I did them all in succession, Acrobat installed successfully - finally! I hope this information spares someone else from investing too many hours to fix their installation problem.

Recovery = Windows won't install from recovery discs

I have a dv6, performed recovery off the purchased 2 discs, and it says Windows won't install. Also, will not let me log into administrator...says my account has been disabled. Need help asap, on roomies pc.

I also tried using a HP Windows Recovery Disk from HP for my HP G71-340US Notebook Computer, but it repeatedly fails the installation with the message:
"No OS Flag Set on Unit. Please use EEPROM to set OS SKU value = 2. Error RStone S Update SRU option configuration is invalid, Loc # cound not be found in product #. Next step: Please use EEPROM to set Loc # in either SKU # or CTO localization code".
This occurs repeatedly when trying to run the Recovery Disk from HP.
I believe there is an EEPROM problem, but I do not know what to try next. I have backed up all my persoal data, but everything is wipped off the hard disk, currently. I can get into the BIOS, but that does not seem to be of any help. HP tech support is of no help.
Thanks for any help or recommendations.

IPod Updater Software won't install in computer

Help! I've searched through the discussion boards and can safely say I have not seen my specific problem with the iPod Updater software posted. For 8 weeks, I've installed the latest iPod Updater software (06-26; 09-23; 10-12) that I've downloaded from Apple and zdnet sites. Like most everyone, I kept getting the message that the iPod software is too old, etc. After each installation, everything seems to have downloaded properly. I then go on to the Utilities folder, and after I click on the latest Updater software to finish the installation, my computer keeps asking me to connect my iPod, and the Update and Restore buttons are greyed out. I even went up to the Options menu to Update and Restore and that's also not viable. I've then tried to reset, restore my iPod, nothing was working. I was even on the phone with Apple for 2.5 hours (iBook and iPod helpdesks) and the newest result is that my iPod is in the disk mode; and the folder with the exclamation mark is flashing. When I checked the Console log of my computer, I found this message:
2005-11-16 22:36:48.012 Installer[365] SUIS couldn't be installed because "This software cannot be installed on this computer."
2005-11-16 22:43:09.278 SystemUIServer[196] Trying to set an iPods time, though I have no user client.
Has this happened to anyone? Does anyone have any working solutions? Should I have posted this on the iBook site? I'm at my wits end.

I am experiencing the same problem. I cant seem to get the ipod updater to actually update my ipod.
itunes tends to freeze my system, even though Ive had a full format and reinstall. I think the trick is getting itunes v4.9 though I am struggling to find this version as well...

Install from software failed AND install from DVD failed....

I downloaded Mountain Lion from the App Store and burned a bootable disc, or so I thought, before installing. Upon installing (from the hard drive version), the hard disk failed and ML wouldn't install, nor would the drive even mount any more. (Luckily, I ran time machine so my dada isn't lost.) So today I bought a new HD and spent 4 hours zeroing it.
I put in the bootable DVD and, after 10 minutes, it finally tried to install. Then it said "There was an error installing the system. Please try reinstalling the operating system." (Dear Apple, that is not the mot helpful error message.)
So, I tried to use the utilities on the DVD to restore from my Time Machine backup, but the tools never loaded!!
I finally got the old drive to mount, so I started CCC but now the drive unmounts itself about 3GB into an attempted clone.
I don't have a Lion DVD because I can't find the one that came with my MacBook.
NOW WHAT?! :-(
My Mountain Lion App Store purchase is verified right? Can I attempt to download the ML installer on my 10.6 machine and possibly re-burn a disc? (Does it matter if it's +R DL or -R DL?)

You mean updating from the downloader? I tried that first, it's what crashed the drive to begin with.

Elements 6 won't install from Bamboo Disc

Our school recently bought some Wacom tablets that had Elements 6 as additional software on the Bamboo disc. I have a lab of 10 new iMacs running Snow Leopard. 4 out of the 10 computers will not load Elements 6. When I double click on the Setup icon it bounces in the dock for a few seconds, then just stops. These are all the same computers, with the same software, can't figure out why some won't install. Can't be the discs as the disc that works on one machine won't work on another. These computers have never had a different version of Elements. Any help?? Thanks.

It still won't work. I took the computers off the network, same problem. Typically what happens is the setup icon bounces in the dock, but never asks for admin credentials. On one of the computers, I tried again to double click on the setup icon and nothing happens, it appears as though the app tries to launch (happens very quickly) but then nothing, no bouncing in the dock.

My imac intel won't install the installation cds correctly.

I have the white imac intel computer and I tried to reinstall the installation cds that came with the mac because my computer for whatever reason started going slower and slower. The thing is when I tried to reinstall the cds, the first cd did not install correctly. For some reason the first cd counted down the time from 64 hours, it took two days and when it was finished I got a black screen and a lot of error messages. Something about the DNS server, the airport driver isn't installed, and something about the local?. Everytime I try to install the first cd it want start up and it tells me to install the second cd and when I try to install the second cd it won't install. The blue line only goes so far and then it just hangs there and I get more error messages. Is there a way to reinstall the first cd to correct the problems without the computer telling me to take the first cd out and insert the second cd? Or is there something I can do to fix my imac so it will work again?

Hi Evie, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Power down the iMac with #1 Install disk in the drive.
Bott up while holding the d key down at boot-up and run the extended Apple HW Test first.
If we still can't boot from the Install disk, Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Where are we now?
We have some serious corruption on the HD, so we're going to try to get it to boot off the #1 disk to fox that.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, *you must select your language first.)*
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
Then Safe Boot off the HD & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
Safe Boot... holding Shift key down at bootup.

My iPod touch will access the app store, but it won't install from it.

I was given a used iPod Touch, and I don't know any of its history. Eveything was working fine, and then one day I tried to install from the App store and it won't work at all. I can press the "install" button, but then the app store will just close without even setting up an icon on the home screen. If I try to install the same app again, there's no record that I had tried to install it previously. I use this for school, so this is really annoying.
PS: I am a clueless Windows user, and have never owned and i-anything until now. =)

Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Iphoto 11 won't install from apps store

I purchased iPhoto 11 from the app store (on my Macbook running Lion). It won't install - when I click the install button it just "runs" for a couple seconds without any further prompting or anything. Is there something I'm missing here?
