Installation disappears - windows xp pro universal installer

When installing the installer just disappears.
My plan was to uninstall all my oracle software and then
re-install (for a clean setup). During the re-install the
installer just stops.
Can someone tell me what is wrong?

  • Photoshop 7 (& other old Adobe programs) installation in Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

    Recently I purchased a new computer running Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) with 2 TB hard drive and 16 GB memory and faced the task of trying to install Photoshop 7, Illustrator 8, Acrobat 8 Pro, and Dreamweaver CS3 that I had used very satisfactorily on my old Windows XP SP 3, 2GB memory computer with less than 1 TB hard drive. I now have all of these running successfully on my new computer and thought I would share here my experience gleaned from a number of other forums after many hours. I had the most problem with Photoshop 7 which I will describe last. In all cases I had the original genuine installation disks. These are generally needed except for Illustrator 8.
    Dreamweaver CS3 -- This installed easily in the Program Files (x86) folder & does not seem to require running in XP compatibility mode
    Acrobat 8 Pro -- Same as Dreamweaver CS3
    Illustrator 8 -- The installation disk would not work for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. A solution I found in a Microsoft forum is simply to copy the Illustrator folder and contents into the ProgramData folder on the new computer along with the following dll files in the C\Windows folder of the old computer: icccodes.dll, kpcp32.dll, kpsys32.dll, pcdlib32.dll, pfpick.dll, sprof32.dll  These go right into the Illustrator folder. This program needs to be run using XP compatibility mode (after copying preceding files go to Control Panel --> Programs --> Programs and Features --> Run programs made for previous versions of Windows -- follow directions there). It might be possible to copy into the Program Files (x86) folder too, but the ProgramData folder works. I have not actually used Illustrator after doing this, but since it started ok, I presume that there will be no problems.
    Photoshop 7 -- My Photoshop 7 was an upgrade from Photoshop 5. The PS 5 installation disk would not run on Windows 7 & when I tried the PS 7 upgrade disk (autorun) I got the message that it could not find a previous version of PS & then shut down the installation. I tried the method used for Illustrator 8 above (suggested on yet another forum with an additional dll identified in another Windows folder), but I got the message "Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information". This evidently had to do with missing authentication serial code number in the registry. I found some discussion of this in forums but no workable fix in my case which involved an upgrade. Then I discovered inormation in another forum which explained that installation with the disks could be done by inserting the upgrade disk and running it from the setup.exe file instead of autorun. When you do this you are presented with the option of proving your previous version of PS by simply inserting the earlier version PS disk at this pint of the process. After doing this the installation with the upgrade disk proceeds fine. The PS 7 program can be installed in the Adobe folder within the Program Files (x86) folder. However, after doing this and trying to start PS 7 you get the following error (if your hard drive is 1 TB or greater in capacity): "Could not inititialize Photoshop because the scratch disk are full" After much reading I learned that this occurs because PS 7 apparently cannot recognize partitions (volumes) 1 TB or greater. What you need to do is set up an additional partition (volume) on your hard drive. This is easy to do. Go to Windows Help, search on "create partition", choose "Create and format a hard disk partition", and follow the directions. I decided to make a 50 GB partion I named "scratch". The system will assign a drive letter to it. To use the new partion to allow PS 7 to start you need to start PS 7 and immediately press the ALT and CTRL keys together. This will bring up a window where you tell PS 7 which drives to use for its scratch disk. You need to select the newly-created scratch disk(partition) in the first choice and leave the other choices as "None". After doing this you have one last issue. When you try to save any file in PS 7 you cannot save it directly anywhee on the C drive since that drive is 1 TB or greater. What I do is save it to the scratch drive and then later move it from there to where I want it on my C drive. I have seen it suggested to install the PS 7 program itself on the newly-created scratch drive, but I don't know if this would allow saving files to the C drive. When installed the way I have described it does not seem to require operating in the XP compatibility mode.
    Hope this helps those of you who prefer working with the programs they are used to on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

  • Installation of Patch Set 9.2.0.7 on Windows XP Pro SP2 fails

    When I tried to apply patch set 9.2.0.7 to my 9.2.0.5 installation on a computer with MS Windows XP Pro SP2, shortly after the selection of the target Oracle home directory the installer told me to shut down a large number of Windows processes (like RAS, RPC, etc., about 30 in total) that are not related at all to the installation.
    Am I getting anything wrong? Or is this a bug (as I would suspect)?

    You are facing an annoying problem with Oracle installation on Windows.
    It seems, some files are locked by
    other processes than the Installer process.
    The following workaround worked (for me):
    Temporarily remove the reference to the Oracle Home at system startup
    1. Rename the Oracle Home \bin directory to \bin_save
    2. Reboot the system
    3. Rename the bin_save directory back to bin again
    4. Start patch installation again

  • W520 hangs on Windows 7 Pro x64 installation, cannot boot live CD

    Hi Everyone!
    I decided to reach out to the community for some intelligence that I have not been able to obtain elsewhere.  Here's my story in details in case someone can find a break on any of them ...
    I purchased my W520 in November, 2011 with 1 year warranty and used it without issues until last week.  One morning when I started the laptop, it loaded Windows 7 Pro x64, I logged in.  After loading the desktop, I locked the screen/user and stepped out for a minute.  When I came back, the screen was frozen and after a few minutes of waiting I manually powered off the laptop.  
    Upon restart, Windows 7 would hang on the logo screen and restart in a few minutes.  I was able to restart under Safe Mode, however, which enabled me to create the rescue DVD's.  
    I decided to re-install the OS, but the installation would hang on the Windows logo screen again.  This was also attempted with all accessories (usb kbd, usb wireless mouse, and display I also tried w/o the battery) disconnected. Then I thought, that it could be a bad hdd - I tried installing XP Pro but got the BSOD with a bad hdd error code.  At that point, I attached the hdd to a working PC and ran checkdisk which found no errors. The problem persisted even with unpartitioned disk and a spare hdd that I had on hand.  What intrigued me was that no linux live CD could load (it would freeze on the loading screen).
    After this, I flashed the BIOS to the newest version without any issues during the flash process.  The Windows 7 Pro x64 installation would hang again at the usual logo screen.  I also tried with different DVD source... Memtest did not show any problems either.
    Then I called an IT support guy who was not experienced with the issue and took the laptop for bench testing, and after four days of back and forth the IT company was inconclusive that the issues is most likely caused by a bad BIOS. 
    This happened around March 21, 2013 after Windows 7 installed updates (not sure if this could be related).  The weird part is that the W520 worked fine for a year and four months and when it crashed I was able to use Safe Mode, access and flash BIOS, but was unable to run new installation or live CD's. 
    Is there anything that I am missing?  Has anyone had the same experience?  What is the conclusion according to you - it is really bad BIOS chip or just a UEFI-related setting?
    Thanks for reading and trying to help!

    Sir:
    I'm not entirely sure what you mean when you write "BIOS v1.40 settings that will make it possible to install Windows 7  Pro 64", but, you can download the 1.40 BIOS (which appears to be the most recent release) from this link: Device Driver File Matrix - W520 , and if you have any concerns about the BIOS settings not being appropriate, just enter the BIOS setup manager (tap the F1 key repeatedly when the laptop is booting) and select 'revert to defaults' or similar.

  • Help! Installation of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit fails...

    I am trying to install Windows 7 Pro 64-bit on my new video system:
    - I boot the PC with the install CD inserted
    - I get
        . the installation screen
        . accept licence agreement
        . select on which disk I want to install windows
        . the copy to disk finishes
        . the next step is to reboot my system so that windows continues the install from disk.
       . however after the reboot, just after the systems POST, I just get a black screen and nothing happens.
    I already removed all other disks and removed the raid card :
       So only the...
           - motherboard Asus P6T SE
           - CPU : Intel quad core 950 3.2Mhz
           - Corsair 12 GB
           - single WD 160GB disk ( for windows )
           - LG DVD player
           - Corsair PSU
           - ps2 keyboard
           - ps2 mouse
      ... remains attached
    What is also strange is that there is no F6 during the install of Windows XP. Previously you could press F6 for additional drivers.
    Now you can not.  I tried to press F6 a couple of times but no additional options came on the screen.
    I also allready preformated the disk : single partition and NTFS preformated with default 4kb cluster size.
    Anybody an idea?

    Thanks... above helped... when searching on that forum I found someting about changing SATA from IDE to AHCI.
    So in the bios I changed ...
       > Storage Configuration > Change Configure SATA as IDE
    ... to ...
    > Storage Configuration > Change Configure SATA as RAID
    ... and now it seems to work.
    I used RAID instead of simple AHCI because I want to use raid0 (striping) for my paging disks.
    So I will have a single disk for W7 Pro and use 2 disks for paging and cache.
    My other 6 disks will later be used in raid3 on an areca controller.
    Still working on my installation so I will leave this post open until windows 7 pro is installed / updated / configured.

  • Java_es_05q1-windows-x86 install fails 1628: Failed to complete installation on windows xp pro sp2

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to install Java ES 2005Q1 on my windows xp pro sp2 notebook, but it always breaks with this error message: 1628: Failed to complete installation
    I realized that the SUNJavaES.log always ends at line 151 which is 131077 characters long.
    These are the last few characters of this line: ..." AD_MANUAL_ES_CONSOLE_HELP=D:\Sun\JES2005Q1\Server-Root\manua l\es\console\help\ AD_MANUAL_FR_ADMIN=D:\Sun\JES2005Q1\Server-Root\manual\fr\ad min\ AD_MANUAL_FR_ADMIN_HELP=D:\Sun\JES2005Q1\Serve "
    I attached the last log file.
    This line always breaks at the 131077th char independently of the content of it. I tried to skip some components of JES to see what will occur. The current content of this line obviously was different, but it has broken at the same point.
    Thanks in advence for any help.

    This could be due to a known issue with length of installation path

    I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on my computer and my installation of Adobe Design Premium CS3 is not functioning. I cannot start it to get in and deactivate the Creative Suite installation.

    if you're using the same computer hardware to reinstall your cs3, you don't need to deactivate first.
    but if there's a significant hardware change you can ask adobe support for an activation count reset. contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

  • I can't reinstall Windows Xp pro SP3 from installation disk on my IBM Thinkpad T40

    Dear folk,
    I have bought used IBM Thinkpad t40 in Germany.
    It has Windows XP in German, wich works well but it makes some dificulties while I am using some functions.
    I decided to reinstall Windows XP Pro in English.
    My Windows XP Pro CD instructed me to install XP from BIOS.
    This is how it works.
    I got to BIOS by clicking blue button "IBM acsess".
    I have got to BIOS released in 15/05/2003.
    My Win XP Pro CD instructed me to press Delete to boot Cd-Rom and run Win XP installator.
    Meanwhile, pressing "Delete" button did not produce any effect.
    I got to Start up menu in BIOS, then I tried to run CD-Rom to run Windows XP from my installation CD.
    But it has not produce any effect.
    System stayed still.
    As result, I can not install Windows XP English version.
    Please, hint me how can I reistall Windows XP English on my notebook.
    May be something with old BIOS version and I has to update it?
    Should I use other menu in BIOS for installation (actually I used all of them)?
    Or anything else? Please, advice.
    Or I has to learn German? )))
    Looking forward for any help.
    Cheers
    Vittor

    Hi and welcome..
    leave short your german XP on your T40 ... you need it to update BIOS..
    first i prefer to update your BIOS ... Download this T40 BIOS 
    Version: 1RETDRWW (3.23) Release Date: 2007/07/03
    you see this is abit newer ... follow the instructions to update...if update is successfull...you can go in BIOS
    look at tab startup ... change startup sequence so that DVD/CD Drive is on first place and usb-device on second and HDD on third you can move this via F5 / F6.. exit and save with F10 ...
    Download all drivers that you need from this page and save them on extra USB Stick or external HDD...you will need this to complete your install after XP is fresh installed
    T40 Driver Table
    Insert your English XP with SP3 in DVD/CD Drive and restart...
    if a message comes press space to install from CD ...
    follow the instructions.. delete (format drive C: where the german XP is ... and install XP in english..
    when installation process is done... look at device manager you see many yellow questionmarks ..no installed drivers... Now use the pre-downloaded drivers from external HDD/USB Device... keep in mind that drivers are compressed when clicking on that the driver first deflates to c:\drivers\win\ [foldername]... sometimes you have to go in the correct folder and start setup to install it for real...
    or you can install TVSU ThinkVantageSystemUpdater:
    TVSU
    that helps you .. but in that case you have to install Wireless or Cable Network first...
    i dont prefer this because at this time you dont have a antivirus program ..
    a small and good advice is AntiVir you can freewareversion download here
    Free Antivir English
    So good luck ...with fresh "english XP" on your T40...

  • MBA 13", Parallels 6, and Windows 7 Pro installation

    Has anyone else experienced a longer than usual "completing installation" screen when they installed Windows 7 Pro? More specifically, installing Windows 7 Pro (64-bit) onto a flash drive (thumb drive)? I've already "force quit" Parallels once and re-started my virtual machine. It returns to the "completing installation" screen.

    I am not sure if the transfer speed of USB 2.0 was causing a delay in the installation. I opted to install the copy of Windows 7 Pro (64-bit) onto my MacBook Air hard drive.

Ich warte jetzt erstmal ab was passiert. Immoment kommen ganz viele Command prompt fenster, und da drinnen läuft die schrift ganz schnell. Und die  Fenster kommen nach einander hoch. Mal gucken wie es danach aussieht.Gruß  Ingmar ps: Man merkt, ich bin kein fachman  Das hat alles sonst mein Vater gemacht. Aber der ist 2013 leider verstorben Also muss ich mich da jetzt selber drum kümmern. Mein Vater hat bei Ibm gearbeitet.

  • DVD/CD unit not found after installation of Windows 8 PRO

    After installing Windows 8 PRO I cannot play a dvd. The trouble seeker says: The hardware can not start due to damaged or incomplete config info in the register (code 19).
    When searching for a new driver I'm told that I have the latest one. I read on Microsoft support that a similar problem occured on installing Vista, but the solution should not be applied on this installation.
    What else is to do about this problem?

    > After installing Windows 8 PRO I cannot play a dvd. The trouble seeker says: The hardware can not start due to damaged or incomplete config info in the register (code 19).
    If you would use the Toshiba forums Advantage search option, then you would find this info:
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/bulletinDetail.jsp?pf=true&soid=3516888
    +If the TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator or TOSHIBA Disc Creator are installed on the HDD, there might be a issue between Win 8 and mentioned software+
    +So uninstall these tools, then restart your PC using the Power-->Restart option in Windows 8. Your CD/DVD should be accessible now.+

    Hi
    I read you other threads and it seems you have a Satellite Pro A60 notebook.
    What can I say you have installed the OS manually and in my opinion a simply driver is missing
    Did you try to install the infrared driver from the Toshiba European driver page?
    Possibly this is a key
    Anyway, before you start the OS manual installation you should read the Installation Instructions. There you will find whole drivers which must be installed and the right installation order.
    Please check this document and follow the guide lines
