You should not install it again..
Boot the computer into safe mode and try the uninstall again.
No luck you will have to manually uninstall which is a pain. Delete the files and open regedit and delete the registry entries.. better still use the system restore to go back to a previous system where you had no 4.2 installed..
Or just ignore it and install the latest 5.6.1 and if it gives trouble well do a clean install of windows.

  • I am trying to export my iPhotos to an external HDD. As soon as it gets to 200 photos, I get an error message that says unable to create volumes/freecom/my pictures. Can i remove this limit or increase it? I have nearly 17,000 pictures to export.

    1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
    2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Updated My ipod touch 4th gen to IOS 6.1. Now everytime I try to finish the update process I get a message " Apple ID couldn't be created because of a server error"

    Now everytime I try to finish the update process I get a message " Apple ID couldn't be created because of a server error. I already have an apple ID I am just trying to finish the update so I can use my ipod touch and can not figure out why I keep getting held back at this message

    So I found out with alittle research that instead of entering all that info on my ipod, security questions, birthday, ect that it was much easier to just go to http://appleid.apple.com and place all that info there and save it than try the process on my ipod and it finished the update.

  • Error 1608. Unable to Create InstallDriver instance

    Hi All
    I've read Adam's post about error 1608
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=802625&#802625
    but since I have slighly different problem I decided to open different Thread.
    When I got Error 1608, I tried to follow InstallShield recomendations, however I could not execute the first one - Configure the DCOM Settings on Your Computer.
    When I click on Component Services->Computers, the window of dcomcnfg is closed. I did a little research and found out that it happens when DCOM Server service is not running.
    Indeed, my DCOM Server service is not running even though it is configured as automatic startup type. When I am trying to run it by clicking on Start the service, I get an error back - Could not start the dcom server process... Error 2: the system cannot find the file specified.
    In event log there is an entry - The DCOM Server Process Launcher service terminated with the following error:
    The system cannot find the file specified.
    For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
    Any thoughs? Any help will be greatly appreciated
    Thanks,

    I was there and read 2 articles - The Windows Firewall service in Windows XP Service Pack 2, in Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, in Windows Server 2003 SP1, and in x64-based versions of Windows Server 2003 cannot start if the DCOM Process Launcher Service is disabled and You cannot start the Windows Firewall service in Windows XP Service Pack 2. Both seem irrelevant to me. By the way, my windows firewall is working perfectly, but DCOM appears as not started in services window.

  • Error 1647: Unable to create InstallDriver instance,

    the code continues on to say:
    Return code: -2174312566
    I can't seem to get Quicktime 7 installed on my machine.
    XP Pro, sp2.
    I've googled searched the error code and keep coming back with an STDOLE.tlb and stdole.dll problem. I've replaced those files and still, I get the same code.
    Is there another way to install without using install shield?
    Thanks so much.

    Anyone have any luck?
    Thanks again.

  • Why Can't I uninstall or repair Firefiox from Windows 7 control panel_ software uninstall, change ,repair

    Firefox crashed and I have been unable to restart it. Sent Report by email to Firefox two weeks ago no response. At this point I want to uninstall first and then new install.

    Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows?
    If you're running 32-bit Windows then you can probably ignore that step safely.
    If 64-bit you could try creating the missing entry and give it the correct value.

  • Unable to install iTunes, I get an error saying it is unable to create the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\da.lproj\iPodWelcomeOffline.nib

    Unable to install iTunes, I get the following error:

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Error 1647:  Unable to create installdrivers instance

    Error 1647! Unable to create installdrivers instance
    Return code: 2147312566....I'm trying to find a solution on this error message. Haven't had much luck! This error message appears when I try to install updates to iPod and iTunes.
    Most of what I've read isn't clear. Most importantly, I'm afraid to add anything to the system language. Any easy solutions? Can I continue to run my current (old) versions of the iPod updater and iTunes?

    Thanks!

  • Why can't i put an out of office on my iphone email? Blackberry and other android phones will allow this feature.

    I just purchased my iPhone, one thing I don't like is that with my Blackberry it allowed me to put an Out of Office reply to my emails. I thought the iPhone was a leader!!! Blackberry and other Android phones can do it.

    Why can't you?  Simple..Apple doesn't include that feature.
    Download and use iMExchange instead.

  • "OIP-04796 Unable to create object instance"

    I am using OO4O, version 3 for Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows with Visual Basic version 6.
    I am getting the intermittent errors "OIP-04796 Unable to create object instance" and also "Method createDynaset of _IOraDatabase failed" - I think both are related to one another and from the documentation for OO4O, "OIP-04796" relates to the client side object cache of the OraDatabase class. Reasoning that the client side object cache was too small I attempted to increase the relevant properties of the OraDatabase object using the following: -
    MyOraDatabaseObj.CacheOptimalSize = 400
    However, at run-time, this property of the OraDatabase object does not get set accordingly in the VB IDE and after several attempts I can't seem to set it. I have also tried setting the CacheMaximumSize property but to no avail.
    Can anybody indicate to me where I am going wrong and either with the setting of the above properties or with the error message in general if I am not on the right track with the cache properties. I don't suspect that it is my code because the problem "seems" to be intermittent.
    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. If more info is required then just ask as this is pressing problem.

    I am pretty sure the patches are available here. If you didn't explicitly install one then you have whatever the base release was.
    If they are not available here (I almost never look here first for a patch) they are certainly available in the MetaLink file library for OO4O.

  • Unable to create an instance of the Java Virtual Machine

    The version i have installed Oracle Database 11g Express Edition and downloaded sqldeveloper-4.0.0.13.80-no-jre and the jdk version 1.7.0_45. Problem is when setup oracle sql developer, pop-up screen highlight on
    Unable to create an instance of the Java Virtual Machine
    Located at path : C:\Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_45\jre\bin\client\jvm.dlll.
    I have select the path earlier stage and direct to the C:\Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_45 ONLY FOLDER. It turns out to this error.
    At the cmd screen error message as below :
    Error occurred during initialization of VM
    Could Not reserve enough space for object heap
    Anyone do give me advise on how to solve this issue. Thank's alot.

    Go
    to the bottom of the file

  • Unable to create an instance JVM - Antivirus

    I have problem with antivirus scanning of JVM files. Message 'Unable to create an instance ...' appears only when AV is running. PC admins do not permit disabling of scan jre files.
    By AV log file, there is big time delay on full jre scanning. Exists any settings to increase time to wait for JVM start?
    Thanks a lot.

    I had a similar issue, so I killed some parts of AV in the registry. There isn't really anything that we (the forum users) can do except to tell you to raise this again at your company. Many policies can be altered if the policy breaks software, and this should be the case. However, you may need to be quite persistent to accomplish it.
