When was the last time you ran Disk First Aid repair on your hard drive via Disk Utility when booted from your Tiger install disc?
If it has been a while, as a first step I suggest this link for system troubleshooting procedures and when doing so, follow all steps/instructions in the order provided.

Error 1310 on trying to install Adobe Acrobat X Pro. Software will not install.

In trying to install Adobe Acrobat X Pro from either a purchased DVD or from an Adobe download I get an Error message: Error 1310 and the installation will nor proceed. It asks to verify access to C:\Program Data\Adobe\ Adobe PDF\Distiller\Startup\example.ps. This complete directory is present in my C:\ drive. How do I verify this access and what must be done to successfully install Acrobat X Pro?

I have an apple iMac G5 running Mac OS 10.4.11 can i upgrade it to 10.5? if so will i also loose all the software currently installed on my Mac? eg. Adobe software.

I have an apple iMac G5 running Mac OS 10.4.11 can i upgrade it to 10.5?
If so will i also loose all the software currently installed on my Mac? eg. Adobe software.
I have moved countries (opposite side of world) so i do not have my install disks, or the disks that came with my Mac.
Where can i get the 10.5 upgrade from?
Do i need my original disks that came with my Mac?
- Thanks if anyone can help
Note:
I have never had any problems with my G5, it's been my awesome helper these past 7 years, I can't say the same thing for my new Mac, but it seems now my poor G5 is slowly being made redundent because they no longer write software for it.
I don't see why i should pay for a new Mac because my old one does not always function on the web, or having a new printer because it does not support the new software.
My New Mac Laptop has had no end of troubles since i bought it less than a year ago.
What happened to Mac being a sign of Quality??

First off, all upgrades can potentially break a system. First and foremost, backup your data before installing anything. Next read this tip as 10.5 loses Classic compatibility, and has these other issues outlined on the tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2275

Hi - Vista can be tricky - I need more info to see if I can be of some help - first, is the Vista machine a desktop or a laptop and is it fully up to date with Windows Update (sp2 or higher)? - next, are you trying to install Airport Utility version 5.5.3 which is the correct one for Vista? - and finally, what do you mean "it will not install" - what kind of error messages or evidence are you getting?

What is your Acrobat XI version? If less than 11.0.09 I would suggest that you update, then try again. Download updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh
Note that you posted in the forum for Acrobat.com online services; you may get better help if you ask in the Acrobat forum.

Trying to reinstall LabVIEW "no software will be installed or removed"

Dear all,
For some reason I wanted to remove and reinstall LabVIEW. However, from "Programs and Features" I couldn't do it (the uninstall button was not active). So, I deleted the entire "National Instuments Download" folder. Now when I run the setup of the LabVIEW I get the message: "no software will be installed or removed" and I can not do anything. How can I solve this?
Thanks in advance.

So you just clicked yes to a dialog box that you didn't understand what it was asking? Well, that's how things break. The most likely question you were being asked was that Windows could not find the installation and was asking whether you wanted to remove the entry from the Programs and Features list, thinking that the folder was deleted from disk rather than performing an uninstallation process. This removes the registry entry. The uninstaller should still exist on disk in the "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\NIUninstaller\uninst.exe". Note that if you're using a 64-bit OS and then "Program Files" will likely be "Program Files (x86)".

I am the account owner in charge of purchases but the software will be used by different people - how should I do the download and install for them?

I am the account owner in charge of purchases but the software will be used by different people - how should I go about downloading and installing on people's computers?

If you need several copies of Acrobat (the license is per user), then you should talk to Adobe Sales about a volume purchase. I am not sure of the details, but probably the best way to go. In that case, I think all are on the same S/N and you pay according to the number of activations or such. Again, I am not sure and you need to talk to Adobe. Adobe is currently pushing the cloud and subscription versions and you might want to discuss the various options with them.

TDM Excel Add-In for Microsoft Excel will not install: Installation Summary No software will be installed or removed.

Hello,
My7 computer is running Windows 7, I have the Base installation of LabVIEW, and have Microsoft Office 2007 installed.
I have downloaded the Add-In for Microsoft Excel from:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2944
unzipped it successfully (66 files created)
searched for messages and updates (No notifications.)
and I get a screen reading:
Start Installation
Review the following summary before continuing.
Installation Summary
No software will be installed or removed.
The "Next" button is grayed out, leaving "Save File" "<<Back" and "Cancel"
Does anyone have a suggestion why I am unable to go any further?
Thank you,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you sure it hasn't been installed before? Under Control Panel...Programs and Features...National Instruments Software...do a "Change/Remove" and look down the list for "NI TDM Excel Add-In verX.XX". If found, uninstall and re-run the installer for the newest version.
This might help as well.

Who will install ORACLE software on linux production environment?

Hi Friends,
there is a doubt for me on ORACLE software installation. i.e. who will install ORACLE software on linux production environment. either system admin or else ORACLE DBA.
If DBA means, whether system admin will share the oracle root password.,
If SYS admin means how DBA parameters during installation.

Since every version of Oracle available now (except 11.2) needs patches, a new installation should not create the database right away. Therefore, a software-only install is the most reasonable thing to do. And if no DB configuration parameters are required at s/w-only time, then it makes somewhat sense for the SysAdmin to do the install.
Therefore, it makes sense to me that the two groups (DBA and SA) might want to work ... together. (ROFLMAO)

Any Software will Not Complete Install

Ha, I been trying to solve an issue with my G4 (two door mirror model). Any software from iLfe 6, Final Cut Express, MS Word or Final Cut Pro will not complete the installment. I keep getting errors that the installation could not complete please try again. I trouble shoot the CD drive making sure there is not an issue with it, and the hardrive too. I did a clean reinstall of Tiger No problem - SO I know the hardrive is fine. I played CDs music so no problem from CD drive. I use the same Software CDs to install on my Powerbook G4 and no problem, so I know there is nothing wrong with the CDs. Does anyone know or may think what can be cause my Desktop G4 from failing to install any programs other then the OS.
AT this point, I have a G4 sitting with just the OS and no application - and it driving me crazy I can't do anything with it.
Thanks for any help.

Dale, It is the retail version purchased day after it came out. Just a thought, when a PC has problems we can reset the bios back to factory state - can this been done to an apple system such as my G4? The reason why i'm installing back my software is because I had to reinstall the OS do to too many shareware apps I downloaded and could not trash for the life of me - many of the shareware apps was too buggy and could not get rid of them. So, I do not understand my I'm having this issue - OS can install but no other software will.

No software will install :(
