Installing 10.9, stuck on "COMPLETING INSTALLATION" .

Installing 10.9, it's been at "COMPLETING INSTALLATION" "less than a minute remaining..." for over 30 minutes. What do I do?

I am there though not stuck. Went from 7 to 5 to 4 minutes. We will see. Seems odd it isn't complete after the 1 minute remaining goes to zero, and it boots through the Apple logo only to go to completing installation. And I don't have anything odd installed. Now at 3 minutes and counting. I feel like Arthur Dent's girlfriend in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 2:23 million and counting! Now 2 minutes.

Hi Oscar_G,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Is your Windows 7 software 64 bit or 32 bit? Boot Camp 5 only supports 64 bit Windows 7.
Did you create the Windows partition using the Boot Camp Assistant?
Below are some resources to troubleshoot the issues you are having installing Windows on your Macbook Pro:

When you’re asked where to install Windows, select the partition named “BOOTCAMP.”

I hope this information helps ...

Hey guys,
Iv been trying to install Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro 13'' mid summer - 2010 from bootcamp. Im running 10.7.3. Everytime I try to install windows It gets stuck on "Completing installation" Iv left it running for hours (4-5 hours) and nothing is changing. I have an image if it helps..

Oddly enough, I have had windows 7 installed on this Mac before but then I deleted and now I am looking to get it back (I am using the same disc I had used the previous time). Iv looked around for days for any solutions that have been found but nothing has worked so far. If anyone can help me it be great!

My 2006 is also liist on the uncompatible list. So there is an extra step to reburn the DVD.
Round about way of saying you bought System Builder? rather than retail which costs more but has both.
You might also have been better with pre-SP1 if you could find it. That does get mentioned from some users.
For free there are Windows 8 CP edition (and release candidate in June) to try, those you do burn from ISO to DVD. Try that.
ALL the support docs, faq etc and manual: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
For 2010 iMac there is a driver for ATI. By not telling us what model mac, or whether Lion or not - so you downloaod Apple drivers from BCA

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
Can you try and install in a location with less than 8 characters ?
eg: C:\JES05q1 or C:\Sun

Hi,
How do you connect the printer to the XP machine ? If USB, you need to make that machine as a Print server. Please try this:

Stuck on "Running Installer Scripts"

Hey Guys, I am trying to install Xcode on my Mac but everytime I trie to install is gets stuck on "running installer scripts". How can I fix this?
Thanks

You should start using the iPhone Dev forums instead.
That said....
Always make sure these four applications are closed, not running, shut down, quit:
- Xcode
- Simulator
- Interface Builder
- iTunes
...no exceptions.

P.S. The order status in the app shop says - complete - but no download option anywhere.
And when my computer wants to reinstall mountain lion - it says, that this ID did not purchse Lion
What is this supposed to mean? I have to purchase Lion OS as well? or it means mountain lion by this message, but just doesnt see, that my account bought it?

Stuck on "Finishing Installation" on Erase/Install

So I've got an Intel Mac mini that I've decided to erase and start over with to repurpose it.
I've completely erased the drive (via Disk Utility) and Verified/Repaired the disk multiple times as well.
I'm not on my 7th time of trying to reinstall from the installation discs that came with the mini.
Each time I try to install I get one of two things:
1) Somewhere not to far in to the process I get "There were errors installing the software. Please try again."
2) It gets stuck on "Finishing Installation - Running Essentials Installer script" and says there are about 38 minutes remaining on the installation.
I've verified the installation disc with no issue.
What am I missing here? I've never had any trouble formating and reinstalling stuff from scratch on a mac but this has quickly turned in to a nightmare.

Well, I did a hard restart and after an incredibly long startup -- had to leave the room, it was taking so long -- it's up and running. It's pretty slow, but I'll repair permissions next and hopefully that will help. Very strange...

While installing Acrobat XI Pro, the installation automatically rolls back and I get the message "The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.07) could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again." How to resolve it.
How do I modify the system.

Hi Rgardezi,
The only reason why Acrobat installation fails and throw this error message is when there are some services running in the background causing the installer not to complete the installation. My take is try the following steps and suggest if you were able to install the products or not :
1) Navigate to control panel and confirm that there is no line Item that talks about Acrobat. If you see Acrobat XI listed there, please remove them.
2) Perform a selective Start up using the steps mentioned in this link.
Please suggest if the above mentioned steps were able to resolve the query for you or not.
Cheers,

When installing Windows 7 on my mac through bootcamp, it always freezes at "Completing Installation"

When I try to install windows 7 on my mac, it always freezes at "Completing Installation". Does anyone know a fix for this?

Got it!
After posting my question I noticed the "More like this" category and the second discussion was a hit.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11290644#11290644
It was a display driver. All I needed to do was to boot from the CD again and following the directions in the post.
Worked like a charm.

Installing windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, cannot complete installation

Hello,
I am currently trying to install a genuine windows 7 home premium copy on my iMac 27" using boot camp assistant 3.0.1 on a new partition. Partition is correctly made, installation proccess was smooth but when windows restarted to complete installation everything goes black. When I use safe mode it tells me that windows cannot complete installation on safe mode, and prompt me to reboot and start windows normally. The windows logo appears again but then everything goes black. I removed the partition and repartititoned the disk with boot camp, and tried installing again. Now it's been about half an hour and after the installation reboot, and the screen is black.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance.

Sorry,
Is this an edu download ISO that you burned to DVD yourself, or retail copy?
No reason to redo partition, when / if you do boot 7 HP, you can always just do clean install, there is nothing wrong with the partitions.
There definitely are problems with 27" iMac and Windows 7 support, and BC 3.0 came out last... July actually, so almost a year, and before RTM (even though "frozen" W7 went through some major changes later).
The worst scenario is when BCA freezes or is killed, that can leave the entire drive and Mac OS inoperable (backups are imperative).
So if you burned the DVD yourself and used Disk Utility, reburn at reduced (2x) speed is all I can think of.
More problems await you AFTER 7 is installed and Apple Boot Camp drivers mess things up again!
See the very last post here (3 pages):

I have been trying to install window 7 operating system through booth camp assistant, i will finish all the stages for window to complete installation it will hook. the installation cannot be able to complete and i really install windows on it, please i need an assistance on how to go about it.

Right now I have 6 different systems installed. Windows XP, 7, and 8 plus Linux Mint, Commodore, and OS X Snow Leopard (for old times sake), all running on Mountain Lion.
I recommend reading the user manual as it greatly helps getting through the steps, however an intuitive person should pick it up fairly easily.
Thanks to BobTheFisherman for the link.
There are other ways to get Windows on a Mac but I'm a big fan of open-source software.
Give it a try. You might like it or it may not be your cup of tea.

Can't install:"1628: Failed to complete installation."

Upon double-clicking on OracleXE.exe (165.332.312 byte, production), I receive a dialog box stating "1628: Failed to complete installation".
I have MSIExec.exe version 3.1.4000.1823 on my system.
I've followed the instructions (looking for still-running install processes, clearing the temp directory, making sure I have a current Windows Installer) and none work.
I don't found in temp directory an OracleDatabaseExpressInstall.log.
I have Windows Xp Pro Sp2, 1Gb ram, Sempron 2600+, Hd 80 Gb.
I have setting language from Italian to English (US).
On an other pc is all ok.

You can find OracleDatabaseExpressInstall.log in the %SystemRoot% directory, not in in the "temp" Directory. Often the %SystemRoot% is C:\WINDOWS.
Do you use a "Local Administrator" to install XE ?
Greetings
Henri
