Installer fails: message invalid drive

Hi Everybody,
I have a strange behaviour during XE installation. On one PC (Win2000 SVP4) which has an unformatted partition and no drive D: the installer fails with the message: Invalid drive D: When assigning the CDROM drive to drive D: the installation works.
Has somebody run into the same problem or any ideas?

Hi Konstantin,
the problem is that we have to install XE on many different PC's, which all have individual setups and configurations. Not speeking of different OS and different language versions. But as Oracle claims to be compatible to alomst anything we are doing it.
So we run into one problem after the other as you can see.
Regards, Klaus

Itunes installation fails. Invalid drive

I've downloaded itunes but cannot get it to install. I get a message that says Invalid drive: G/
Any advice?
Thanks.

First a question, have you you ever had any of your special folders such as My Muisc or My Pictures located on another drive - or any other configuration oddities?
Having said that I guess the first thing to try is an installer cleanup:
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instruction on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

Itunes 7.7 setup will not run - gives message 'Invalid drive: E:\'

Hi there guys,
really hope someone can help.
As stated on the subject line, after I have downloaded itunes 7.7 (either from the itunes site or through itunes update checker), when I attempt to run the setup, it gives the message 'Invalid drive: E:\'. It then says itunes installer completed, that errors were encountered and to try again later.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
paul

Still trying to solve this with no luck. It's getting really frustrating - if anyone has any ideas....!?

Purchased Creative Cloud, deployed it, clicked "Install.pkg" and received "The Installation Failed" message. What now?

Purchased Creative Cloud, deployed it, clicked "Install.pkg" and received "The Installation Failed" message.
I am installing on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.8.
What now?

This is how we resolved it. Used a 32GB Flash Drive formatted the drive HFS+ and then copied the PKG folder and files and then brought them to the target Mac and copied the files over and ran the PKG and Exceptions install. Everything seems to be installing fine now.

When installing iTunes 10 I get an error message "Invalid Drive: F:|". ANy advice?

Bissley,
I have received this error in the past and it is usually caused by Windows automatically changing your external drive letters when you install. There are two ways around it; first, follow the directions provided by b noir. Second, within iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced
Under the advanced options you'll see a recessed section called "iTunes Media folder location". Although you may have set this in the past it, if Windows changed your drive letters it will no longer be valid. Default is usually "C:\blah\blah\mymusic"
Changing it just a matter of clicking "change" and finding your music folder again or change your drive letter back (if it changed at all).
If Windows is changing your drive letters, it is best to set them yourself so that everytime you plug in the devices they use the letter you assigned. Here is a link for that process:

Hope it helps.

Error Message Invalid Drive

When I download iTunes 7 and click the .exe setup, I get the following message -- Invalid Drive: L:\ -- and I cannot install iTunes. I don't think I have a drive L and I have no idea what this means. I am running on Windows XP. What do I do?

a good place to start with one of those is with the following InstallShield document:

"The installation failed" message

Every time I try to install my lightroom 2, from my disc, on my mac it gives me "The installation failed" message. So how can I go around this? Where can I go to get it installled?

It probably won't work at all. LR 2 contains PPC code which Apple long has stopped supporting in newer versions of OSX. Unless you really mean an old Mac ca. 2003 with OSX 10.4 or before, I see no way of ever getting this to work. Seriously consider buying LR 4 then.

I am receiving an installation failed message

I just purchased adobe creative cloud, and when I try to install certain apps they came up with an "installation failed" message.
When I click the learn more, it prompts me to another window. If I click, windows photo viewer can not open the file type. I'm sure there is a simple solution, please help.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system information and installation logs. And well, if the files even attempt to open in Photo Viewer, you have other problems than your CC install to boot...

On installing Photoshop CC, I received an Installation Failed message (see below). What do I do now?

After downloading and installing Photoshop CC for the first time on a 64-bit Windows 7.1 PC with 8GB of RAM, I received the message: "Installation Failed.Installation completed though some optional components failed to install correctly (6)." What do I do now? Photoshop 6 and Lightroom 5 are previously installed on this PC and I have been a PS user since PS7.

Bonsinger the next step would be to review your installation log files for the exact errors which you received. Please see Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html for information on how to locate and interpret your installation log files. You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

Photoshop Installation Failed message

I've tried installing Adobe Photoshop CS6 twice from the Application Manager and constantly receives: "Installation Failed" Unable to extract files. Press Retry to download again or contact suctomer support (EX20). I'm using a PC 32bit computer. Can someone please tell me what may be wrong?
Thanks!

Problem resolved for Photoshop CS6! I downloaded the file directly from website instead of my desktop Applications Manager. However, it did ask me how I wanted to open the file and I indicated the Applications Manager. Photoshop CS6 is now up and running!

Installation failing with "Invalid file" message

i just can't install skype on my new Techno- F7 (PHANTOM) even from skype website. I keep receiving an error mesage at the end of the attempt 'Invalid file'. Please help !!

Disable your AntiVirus while installing Skype. If that still does not work. While your AntiVirus is still disabled, right click on the Skype installer and select "Run as Administrator" and try to install Skype again.
