MySQL install error on new computer (Windows 7 Professional)

When installing MySQL I receive the following error:
Could not access network location \Hewlett-Packard\\.
I have checked the registry entries as per document: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886549
and they are fine.  This is a brand new machine right out of the box.  I have installed other software without incident.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is probably cruft left behind by the HP OEM imaging process. To fix it, go into regedit and look in the registry under these two keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
If you see an "InstallLocation" value containing \Hewlett-Packard\\ just delete it. Then the software should be OK.
This value is somehow getting pulled into the MSI installer property "INSTALLDIR", though I'm not sure why. I'm also not sure why this impact some installers but not others, nor is it clear this is a bug in the installer (it sounds like an HP issue to me).

  • Install Photoshop CS2, new compute, Windows 8.1?

    Install Photoshop CS2, which I bought several years ago, on a new computer with Windows 8.1? Adobe uploaded me a version that doesn't require activation, but it doesn't work!

    Thanks, Ned. Adobe sent me a link to download a version of CS2 that they say doesn't need activation. I clicked on the link and used their new code to load and authenticate. The App is sitting there, but when I click on it, the box says something is wrong with my username, password or activation and the app will now close. I don't know how to try to download with compatibiity mode. Any clues?

  • Unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8

    unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8
    states this app unable to run on this PC

    Hello jgrn76,
    It sounds like you are getting an error stating that the iTunes installer cannot be run on your computer. I would try downloading the 64 bit version of iTunes from here:
    iTunes 11.1.3 for Windows (64-bit)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1615
    If issues persist when trying to install it, I would try running through the steps in the article named:
    Issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1926
    Otherwise, would you mind elaborating a bit on what the error message says, word for word?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

    Hi Richard,
    After uninstalling all National Instruments software, can you check your registry for any "National Instruments" registry keys?  You will need to manually delete these keys before trying to install LabVIEW 2009 again.
    To open registry, go to Start and select Run.  You will then need to type "regedit" in the window and click "OK".
    Kind regards,

  • I have an Acrobat 8 which is all I need.  Installed on my new computer which is using Windows 8.  Each time I open Acrobat I get a window that say unable to registrator.  It gives me three options try again, redo, never register.

    I have an Acrobat 8 which is all I need.  Installed on my new computer which is using Windows 8.  Each time I open Acrobat I get a window that say unable to registrator.  It gives me three options try again, redo, never register.  No matter which option I choose I cannot stop the window from opening each time I open the computer.
    Any suggestions?

    Probably far too old to register. Sounds like a bug, stopping the "never" selection from working. You may be stuck with it.

  • My Laptop crashed. I had a full backup on Carbonite so the iTunes folder is there and downloadable.  Is there any way just to import that and have iTunes on my new computer (Windows 7) recognize it?

    My Laptop crashed. I had a full backup on Carbonite so the iTunes folder is there and downloadable.  Is there any way just to import that and have iTunes on my new computer (Windows 7) recognize it?

    Nothing gets imported.  Simply restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the new/restored computer.
    Download and install iTunes from Apple's website.
    The first time iTunes is launched, assuming the ENTIRE iTunes folder is restored to the correct location, it will launch and be exactly as it was prior to the comptuer issues.  If for some reason this does not work, close iTunes, hold the SHIFT key while launching iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose or create a new iTunes library.  At this point simply point iTunes to the correct location for the existing iTunes library.

  • How do I uninstall PSE completely so I can install on a new computer?

    How do I uninstall PSE completely so I can install on a new computer?

    First go to Editor>Help>Deactivate. That's really the only thing you have to do if you've used both of your two installations already. If you want to uninstall PSE, then do it via Control Panel in Windows, or on a Mac use the uninstaller in the PSE  folder in Applications.
    If you have a version of PSE prior to PSE 8, no need to deactivate unless you bought a serial number for the trial via the Buy It Now button in PSE. Otherwise there's no activation on earlier versions.

  • Upgrading computer, do I install itunes on new computer? How does my content on old computer get to my new computer?

    I am upgrading to a new HP ProBook 6470b computer w/ Windows 7, do I install itunes on new computer or somehow transfer the files from the old Dell D620 Windows XP computer ? How does my content on old computer get to my new computer? Would like to find the best way to do this. Thanks!

    Yes.  You should copy everything ( music, apps, pcis, docs, contacts, calendars, etc) from your old computer to your new one.
    You can type "move itunes library" into the google search bar for instructions on itunes.
    Certainly your computers have a methed for moving all of your content from one comptuer to another.

    You son is halfway right - you can only auto sync an ipod to one PC. That's how most folks use their ipods, I think.
    Does the ipod show up in Windows Explorer?
