Installation problems with Windows

Hi,
I have the windows 7 beta and have been trying to reinstall it on my boot camp partition, however the installation continually reports a corrupt CD. I know that the CD is not corrupt because i have successfully installed Win7 beta on a boot camp drive before and on other computers. I have even tried on VMware and had the same error. The things that strikes me the oddest problem is that it always has the error at the same point of the installation e.g. 97% of expanding files. I have also tried installing a working Vista OS on boot camp and WMware and still had the same error. This leads me to believe a problem with the iMac's SuperDrive. I have run tests using tech tool pro and drive genius and had no anomalies. Any further steps to diagnose or a solution would be helpful, thank you.

I don't know about using Windows 7 Beta with Boot Camp. You may want to post that question in the category for Boot Camp.

However, I have messed around with using Windows 7 Beta under VMware Fusion. It works, with some graphical anomalies when the virtual machine is starting up. When I install a new OS into a VMware Fusion virtual machine, I always use the option to install from a disk image file, instead of a physical disc. That would avoid any issues you have there with your physical disc.
To do so, click the New button and then +Continue without disk+. Then +Use operating system disk image file+ and select the disk image file. In your case, that would be the Window 7 Beta .iso file that you downloaded. I told the VMware Fusion I was installing Windows Vista.
(Incidentally, I am using the 64-bit version. If your iMac is Core 2 Duo, you can. Don't know if that you make a difference in the Beta working or not working.)
To test the drive itself, you may want to start up from your Mac OS X installation disc and get to the Installer. From there, you can try running Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. While you are there in Disk Utility booted off another system, you might as well run a +Repair Disk+ in your startup volume. Then restart normally and try playing a DVD movie. If everything works, the optical drive is probably OK.

  • Flash player 11.0.1.152 installation problem with Windows Vista 64-Bit

    Hello,
    I just can't get Flash Player to install on my computer with Windows Vista 64-Bit - doesnt matter if I try with Firefox, Opera or IE (I usually use Firefox).
    The download isn't a problem, but when I start the downloaded .exe, this file just disappears from my download folder and nothing happens - besides starting a process called install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih_3.exe, which does nothing. The usual installation popup never appears. After that I can't try starting the installation again, until disabling the process via task manager ("Only a single instance of this application may run"). Doesn't matter if I try the download and installation with or without "McAffe Security Plus" btw - same result.
    I never had such a problem before - Flash Player 10.3 was and is no problem to install and use.
    I have tried all the measures suggested in the troubleshooting section on the official site, including the advanced troubleshooting measures (uninstall old version, run as administrator, disabling software firewalls, disabling virus scanner etc.). Nothing helps.
    I don't got those problems with my laptop running Windows 7 - just my desktop computer with Vista 64-Bit.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try using the installers from the links in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550

  • Sun one studio 4 update 1 installation problems with windows me

    Hi guys!
    I tried installing the cobundle on a Windows ME platform and it always get stuck whenever the progress bar is at 99%. When I try doing the long method (install JDK and then the IDE), installing the JDK is fine but the installation of the IDE gets stuck whenever it looks for a suitable JDK.
    What would be the problem here? Any form of help is highly appreciated.

    I have the same problem during installation on my home machine. the computers at school installed them with the same files i am using the files are ffj_ce_win32.exe and the sdk is versioned 2.11.15.0 according to the file. I am using ME at home (i know its crap but XP is just as bad in certain areas) and the school machines are using windows 98. I can't think of any differences other than that. I have reinstalled the SDK and the IDE several times but I do not know what to do. changing OSes is out of the question but reinstalling it is not.

  • Flash Player installation problems with Windows Embedded (WES/XPe)

    I've deployed 13 HP T5740 Thin Clients at my office, each have Windows Embedded Standard (WES/XPe) and with Internet Explorer 7.
    With limitations on VMWare servers and sound, users need to view webinars on their local client. When I try to install any version of Adobe Flash Player, the installation instantly fails...no reason given.
    Is there a known issue with this? And is there a workaround?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    It's not working at the mo and it says under run without permissions - Shockwave Flash Object Enabled version 0.0.0.1
    Just tried to download version 10.2.153.1 and now the download manager opens but then just 'hangs' - nothing happens.
    On Firefox, version 10.2.153.1 installed and enabled OK. No problem playing clips with Firefox.

  • Installation Problems with Windows xp

    I'm hoping someone can help me with solving this problem... I've tried installing my licensed Windows XP following the instructions of Bootcamp Assistant. After I click begin installation I get a message stating that Mac cannot read the disk because it's PC. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

    It appears that you may not have formatted your Windows Partition prior to attempting to install Windows. Try the following:
    Press X at startup to force a boot to Leopard. Press Eject, F12, or hold the trackpad button during startup to eject the Windows CD. If you have already ejected the windows CD then go the next step which is to Start again with Bootcamp and definitely follow the instructions by clicking [HERE|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306504].
    Let me know how it goes.

  • IPod nano installation problems with Windows Vista

    I purchased an iPod nano today and have not been able to install iTunes. There are instructions for Windows XP but not much help for Vista.

    I, too, just bought my first ipod and have Windows Vista. I purchased songs through iTunes and tried to drag them to my ipod icon, but it said that I was not authorized on this computer! I called tech support for HP and they said it's a compatibility issue and to contact Apple about it to fix it. Before I do so, I am checking here first, just hoping there would be a really easy fix for this problem. I'm regretting getting Windows Vista now for many reasons, this being the latest. Any advice?

    Hi,
    EDGE/Crystal Reports Server and Enterprise are no native 64bit applications. That does mean that they only run in 32bit mode. But you can install it on a 64bit hardware with a 64bit OS.

    I updated my 160Gb Classic to the latest firmware and then up pops: "The iPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 7.6 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
    Everytime I start to download the lastest version of iTunes, Quicktime 7.6 and Safari I get a pop up window saying: "itunes & quicktime has an Invaild signature and won't installed" and the same happens with Safari.
    I've turned off my popup blocker as was one suggestion, but still no luck. Am I being a Dunce and missing something?
    I'm on dial up and downloading an entire version of iTtunes takes ages, but Download Express usually helps cut this time in half.
    Would anyone have any ideas please on how to reslove this please? My iPod doesn't even show up in iTunes, just the message saying to update to the latest ver of iTunes. I'm running Windows Vista 32Bit

    I tried to install iTunes 10.5 this morning but an error appeared saying "problem with windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." Can someone please help

    Firstly, are you installing iTunes for the first time or are you updating your current version of iTunes?
    If you're installing iTunes for the first time have you tried redownloading the installer package? Perhaps the file you downloaded originally is corrupted...
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If you've tried that, then try installing iTunes as your computer's administrator. To do this right-click the install package and choose "Run as administrator".
    If you're updating iTunes to the most recent version try repairing the Apple Software Update program on your computer. It's under the add/remove programs.
    1. Open the control panel
    2. Open Add/Remove programs (called "Programs and Features" in Windows 7)
    3. Navigate to "Apple Software Update" in the list and click on it
    4. Click on "Change" then select "Repair" (or just select the repair option in Windows 7)
    Once you repair this, try running iTunes and the update again.
    Fingers crossed!

    Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
    Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?
