Installation Will Not Start

Just upgraded to snow leopard and trying to install xp on my old macbook.
I followed the instructions and the book restarted from the windows disc but it only gets as far as the WELCOME TO SETUP blue screen. From there, I cannot choose enter, r or f3. It has just been sitting on this blue death screen for 90 minutes with the fan running. Shut down only by holding the power button.
Any help?
Thanks.

Hi,
this seems to happen sometimes with MB and MBPs.
If you, connect an USB-keyboard and mouse and retry the XP installation.
After successful installation install the BootCamp Drivers from your OSX install DVD.
After all went well, you can disconnect the external keyboard/mouse and use the internals.
Regards
Stefan

  • Adobe AIR Application Installation will not start

    I purchased a program called Video Alchemy which requires Adobe AIR to run but the installation window will not display and the installation does not start.
    The Adobe AIR log install log file can be found here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59423416/Install.log
    Here is a link to the VideoAlchemy.exe install file https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59423416/VideoAlchemy.exe
    Can anyone help me to get this program to install?

    Thanks for the reply and solution MrSykes.
    I uninstalled adobe AIR and ran a file and registry cleaner to delete any left over files and installs.
    Then installed the v.15 Adobe AIR beta as recommended.
    The cleaners I used (ccleaner & jv16 power tools) did find some temporary install files and remnants of the Video Alchemy install.
    Tried the install again and still no installation window displays.
    I'm running Windows 7 on my PC and even changed the installation file compatibility to Windows XP service pack 2 to no avail.
    Funny that it installed fine on my notebook with Adobe AIR latest version running Windows 7.
    I'm watching task manager as I'm attempting the install and videoalchemy.exe has some cpu usage then drops to zero activity.
    Then Adobe AIR application Installer starts up then cycles to zero cpu activity.
    I'm stumped on this one :-(
    Thanks again for investing the time on my behalf.

  • Exchange Server 2013 installer will not start or complete

    Hello,
    I am trying to MS Exchange Server onto a Windows Server 2012R2 with Active Directory network. I had started an installation process and it shot out a list of pre-requisites that server need before it can attempt to install. I fulfilled every pre-requisite.
    Rebooted the server. Now whenever I attempt another installation process again. It starts, gathers information, and quits with event log:
    Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Microsoft Exchange Server. Product Version: 15.0.516.32. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation. Installation success or error status: 0.
    MS Exchange Server is not listed in Programs and Features to even remove, is it a faulty Microsoft Installer? I have already rebooted numerous times to no avail.
    EDIT: Here's a copy of the MSI log, I couldn't find anything to indicate what's going wrong myself, http://pastebin.com/LwCAimuF

    Hi,
    I've downloaded (as per instructions above):
    Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41994
    Again, the installer repeats the same behavior as before, right now I am running a repair tool on .Net repair tool.
    New log http://pastebin.com/SDynMaDe
    Edit: Looks like there's long list of issues trying to fulfill Exchange Pre Requisite.
    Windows Management Framework 4.0

    "The certificate for the signer of the message is invalid or not found"
    It would probably be best to re-install Windows Server again

  • BusinessObjects 4.1 Sp2 Client Tool setup Installer will not Start

    Hi Everyone
    Have installed BOE 4.1 sp2 server platform on a virtual machine running on Windows Server 2008 R2.  When I  tried to install the Client tools,   I execute the setup.exe program, it launches the run, when I click on  runs, nothing comes up.
    Any suggestion I will really appreciate it.
    Thanks 

    OK.  I think I may have misled you.  We tried installing BI4.0 on SQL Server 2012 and that didn't work (not supported according to the Supported Platforms documentation).  I just looked at the Supported Platforms document for BI4.1 and it shows the Client Tools should be supported on Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012.
    I'll try installing them and let you know.  We would like to have them on the server also.

  • Premiere Elements 11 installation will not start

    Hi Folks,
    The process stops when it gets to the installshield wizard window.  I get a green progress bar, then the spinning mouse pointer pops up and the window dissapears.  Shortly after that,  the spinning mouse pointer goes away and nothing happens.
    I checked as many forum posts as I could find, and did the following:
    -read my troubleshooting logs - no errors listed
    -made sure I installed to C drive
    -updated windows patches (windows 7 64bit machine)
    -deleted temporary files
    -set up a new user account for the install, with admin privledges
    -rebooted numerous times
    I have tried to reinitiate the process using the  setup.exe file in the root directory, but it also fails to progress.
    Please note this was a download purchase.  Download worked fine, extraction seems to have worked fine also (deleted and tried entire process twice just to see if there was a fluke first time around)
    My PC specs are more than what is required by the program, and there is tons of space on my hard drive.
    Any ideas?  I am running out of options.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Photoshop 6.0 installer will not start

    Photoshop v6.0 (Venus in Furs)
    PC OS: Windows XP and now Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
    An elderly relative has asked me for some help.
    He has a CD of Photoshop v6.0 that was initially installed on his Windows XP computer. This worked well for a number of years until Microsoft ceased support for XP. He then purchased a new PC from a local PC supplier who backed-up all of his personal data and transferred it to his new machine that is running Windows 7 64bit. At the same time the technician installed his CD of Photoshop v6.0 which seemed to work well. He informs me that lately Photoshop seemed to be running slowly so he UN-installed it. Now when he tries to re-install it the install screen appears but when he clicks to install nothing happens. Initially there is some hard drive activity but no activity from the CD ROM drive. He has browsed the CD and clicked the install.exe but the problem is the same, no install. I am also assured that his CD/DVD RW drive is in fully working order.
    Why won't Photoshop install?

    Please have a look here:
    Re: Any new help for the standard bug "Installer failed to initialize" for CS6?
    Perhaps the same problem?

  • FP Install Will Not Start after DLM Install

    The FP installation will not start after an apparent DLM installation.  The DLM appears to install and the control panel shows it is present, but the FP installation will not start.  There are no other messages that appear.  A restart and reinstallation attempt installs the DLM again, but still no FP install.  Using XP SP3 and IE 8.0.
    Thx

    Hi mont1228,
    The Adobe Download Manager (DLM) executes the Flash installer in "silent mode" so you shouldn't see a dialog box.  To confirm that Flash was installed successfully, go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and let me know if the animation doesn't appear.

  • Help! After interrupting an installation of a program downloaded from the internet on my mac in a reboot cycle will not start, I've already done the disk check and it's ok and I reinstalled the OS 10.8 Lion

    After interrupting an installation of a program downloaded from the internet on my mac in a reboot cycle will not start, I've already done the disk check and it's ok and I reinstalled the OS 10.8 Lion

    In this case, I think that there's something damaged that can't be fixed just reinstalling OS X.
    If you don't want to lose files, you will have to create a second partition in the hard drive and install OS X there, so you will be able to recover everything you need. Then, you will have to erase the first partition and reinstall OS X. Follow these steps:
    1. Hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery, and open Disk Utility.
    2. You can follow the steps of this site to create a second partition > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html
    3. After creating the second partition, close Disk Utility and install OS X on the second partition.
    4. When the installation finishes, open Finder and, in the sidebar, you will see the other partition. Open it and recover the files you need.
    5. After doing that, repeat the step 1.
    6. Select “Macintosh HD” in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
    7. Close Disk Utility and install OS X on the first partition.
    After doing all of these steps (you will need a lot of time to do this), you can delete the second partition you created and add the size of this partition into the first one > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU4.html

  • Settings (and other Apps) Will Not Start (Metro)

    This morning most Modern Apps will not start on my system, including the Settings app. It seems to be a DCOM failure and seems directly related to this old thread.

    That matches almost exactly with the referenced thread. But that thread never seemed to give a set of steps to resolve the issue (other than doing a Refresh which would be a catastrophic waste of time, reinstalling my whole development environment).
    I really would appreciate some help resolving this issue. If I'm in the wrong forum, please move or suggest a more appropriate place.

  • Oracle 10G Non-Network install - OEM will not start when on the LAN.

    Greetings,
    Got through a non-networked 10G Enterprise installation OK; I chose to create the orcl schema, connected to it through various utilities, added new tablespace, and all was well. I also checked my Host Name by pinging it in DOS, it showed me the IP address of the MS loopback adapter which is what I was expecting.
    Once I connected the same machine to the LAN (and internet) and re-booted, for some reason the Host Name was now assigned the dynamic IP address of the LAN and not LAN2 (which is the loopback adapter that is assigned a static local IP address). It did this even though I had already added an entry in the /etc/hosts file that explicitly assigns a static IP address to the Host Name (as recommended in the Oracle 10G pre-installation instructions). I also could not get the OEM to launch a webpage, run and connect to the orcl database after the re-boot; I am wondering if this is related to the IP address assigned to Host Name changing; maybe the Oracle agent can no longer resolve the URL for some reason?
    In the end I find that the only way to insure I can have a working Oracle environment and be on an active network at the same time, is to bring up the Oracle environment on a standalone system first, and once Oracle is running connect the system to the network. Is there no way to automate this process?
    The format of the hosts file entry recommended by the Oracle 10G pre-installation instructions is as follows:
    ===========================================================
    IP_address hostname.domainname hostname
    where:
    IP_address is the non-routable IP address you entered for the loopback adapter.
    hostname is the name of the computer.
    domainname is the name of the domain.
    For example:
    10.10.10.10 mycomputer.mydomain.com mycomputer
    ==========================================================
    In my case since I am not part of a Windows domain (but am part of a Windows Workgroup), I added an entry in the /etc/host file that looks like the following:
    # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
    # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
    # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
    # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
    # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
    # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
    # space.
    # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
    # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
    # For example:
    # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
    # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    192.168.110.250 IBM-6AB1330E158
    ==> Note that I did not add the domain name to the entry I created since I am not part of a domain, I also used the format I found in the etc/hosts file which is:
    IP_address hostname.domainname
    - not -
    IP_address hostname.domainname hostname
    Which is the format recommended in the Oracle 10G pre-installation instructions; this does leave me wondering which format is correct...
    Thanks in Advance for any help,
    ADG13

    I have not. I am hoping someone (maybe even from Oracle support) will step up and officially tell us we are either right or wrong in the way we are approaching this. From the research I have done on the internet it sounds like this should work, you should be able to have Oracle starting and running fine whether you boot connected to the LAN or not, assuming you have created the MS loopback adapter, assigned it a static IP, and changed the hostname entry in etc/hosts file as part of the 10G WinXP recommended pre-installation instructions.
    And yet I find I have to start Oracle when I am not connected to the LAN or the services will not start correctly. If this is a "feature" then hopefully someone will tell us and maybe give us a workaround or give us an idea if this will be addressed in a future release. Having said that and in fairness to the Oracle product; being a developer I have other products installed on my machine that have special networking setup needs also, and in my case this could be exasperating or even possibly causing this Oracle problem I am having. To be specific I have software for 2 different VPNs installed so I can tunnel into 2 private networks. One of these VPNs require me to make use of a DNS Suffix (as shown below) which might be contributing to my problems, not sure. I also have VMWare installed which uses it own network adapters when it is running, so you can see how things could get a little hairy... at any rate, there is my 2 cents worth (or is that 5 cents? : )
