Palm Desktop 6.2 Install - "Error reading setup initialization file"

I am trying to install Palm Desktop 6.2 and HotSync Manager on Win Vista Home Premium 32-bit.
When I execute PalmDesktopWin62.exe I get a message “Error reading setup initialization file.”
I am installing this to sync my Sprint Centro via usb.
Thanks for any help

I had this problem as well. I solved it by using an old Palm Desktop download instead of the one that Palm is providing now. My old copy was provided as a zip archive and the single file in the archive was named simply setup.exe. I guess the only difference between my old file and the file that Palm provides now has something to do with the installation software (it may be InstallShield; I don't remember for sure). In any case, if you are having this problem you might be able to find a usable file out there somewhere.

Installing JRE 1.4.2_04 error: Error reading setup initialization file

I'm getting the following error when trying to install the Java 2 Runtime Environment.
Diaglog box containing message: Error reading setup initialization file.
I get this error on any of the installers for Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 1.4.2_0x; Windows Platform; Windows Offline Installation and Windows Installation.
I do not get this error with the installer for Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 1.4.2.
According to the InstallShield web site, this error is caused by an invalid setting for the MSI Engine Location property in the release. See Q105447 on the InstallShield web site Knowledge Base.

I doubt that the root cause is the modification of the file because of the following:
- I have a machine (XP) on which I downloaded j2sdk-1_4_2_09-windows-i586-p.exe and was able to run the install without issue.
- I then mounted a drive on a windows2003 machine and copied the same file to it, the file size was exactly the same. When I ran the install, I got the error "Error reading setup initialization file" and the button with no text.
- I searched through google and found this thread. I used pkzip to package the file and on the original platform, copied it to the 2003 machine and unzipped it. Once again, the same error showed up.
The explanation for the error provided in this thread is not plausible because:
- there are no firewalls/proxy in play in a file share
- the same thing happens when the install is transferred through a zip. Something would need to alter the zipped file in transit without corrupting the zip itself for this explanation to be valid. This is simply not plausible.
There is clearly something going on that has yet to be explained. An explanation of the problem and (even better) a workaround would be welcome.

Error reading setup initialization file

I am trying to download and install
J2SE v 1.4.2_04 SDK and
J2SE v 1.4.2_04 JRE
on a Windows XP platform SP1. The machine is a dual XEON 3.0 G machine with 1G of memory.
I downloaded the software and saved it to my desktop. When I double clicked on either application I get a dialog box with the following message...
"Error reading setup initialization file"...This message appears in a dialog box with no header and no lettering in the button to dismiss the dialog box.
I tried looking through the forums and contacting SUN without any success....Can someone help me?

Update to previous post
I found the source of the error. Either the firewall server or proxy server that our site is using had altered the file. Both servers do some type of 'content' filtering for viruses, etc. To confirm this, I downloaded the file while at another site and then compared the two files. There was differences between the two files. The alteration wasn't enought to completely break the executable, but enough so that InstallShield couldn't run properly.

Error Reading setup Intialization file on client side

Hi Expert,
When i install the Client setup at client side it's give me the error "Error Reading setup Intialization file".
I take the setup from the Server B1_shr folder.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Tushar Nathwani,
"Error Reading setup Initialization file" implies the setup file is corrupted. You have to find a working copy of it.
There is no other way around.
Thanks,

Installing J2SE v1.4.2_05 JRE "error reading setup initializing

I have a customer who just updated their OS on their computer from Windows 98 to XP and now they are trying to download the J2SE v1.4.2_05 JRE version of Java.

On windows there are two available installers.
Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language (j2re-1_4_2_05-windows-i586-p.exe, 14.91 MB), and the online installer: Windows Installation, Multi-language (j2re-1_4_2_05-<font face="tahoma,verdana,sans-serif" size="1" color="#000">windows</font>-i586-p-iftw.exe, 1.35 MB) .
In some situations, it may be necessary to use the first (larger) one, which (Ibelieve) includes the MSI installer., which usually will already be on an XP machine, but may not be ion an upgraded Win98 machine ?
(just a guess)

Export with Table Splitting : ORA-01115: IO error reading block from file

Hello,
We are in perfroming the last dryrun of our CU&UC conversion.
The are now in the process of exporting the ECC6 system (Oracle 10.2.0.4.0, HPUX ia64) using sapinst features, "table splitting preparation"

Palm not syncing + Palm Desktop won't open (error message says FILE IS BUSY)

Drama players = Tungsten e2+Mac OS X 10.5.4
Tungsten e2+Mac OS X 10.4.1
Hi,
I've been trying to hotsync my palm to Mac laptop for a few hours everyday for 5 days now - I've visited all the forums, bought a new laptop (this was incidental rather than caused by the palm problem)
...At first I got the "transport monitor" missing error - I followed support forums' suggestions. It didn't work. Hotsync would not happen; and neither would palm desktop open. i don't use any other programs to sync (not isync, not outlook, etc) Only ever use Palm for like 10 years now.
This problem persisted in both my 3-yr old mac and the brand new mac-
I also tried installing pam desktop from the online palm support site.
I've since re-installed palm desktop a few times and handheld says "hotsync operation complete" However, Palm Desktop will not open and I get this error -- "file is busy"
Please please help - I've recently decided to allow my palm to rule my life again (we do international events and we're bringing in Australia's #1dj in a few weeks) --I'm desperate for a solution -
Thank you!!

Palm Desktop 6.2 won't read data file after IR synch with IIIC

I have Windows 7, an old IIIC, and Palm Desktop 6.2. Since I can use a USB with that combination, I synced with an infrared connection. The files made it to the Palm directory, but the desktop program won't read them. My previous version of Palm Desktop allowed me to search for the data directory, but I can't find a way to do so with 6.2. And, no, the older version wouldn't display the data, either, in spite of my specifying the path.
I'm so close! One more step and I won't have to buy a smart phone and pay a monthly fee to carry around my contact date. Please help.

Palm Desktop 6.2.2 is not an upgrade to 4.x! It was designed to fix the things Microsoft broke when Vista was born.
It lacks many features that existed for many years in the 4.x versions.
I'd suggest doing a Clean Uninstall and reinstall your original version!

Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.

You have a (some?) mismatches in the machine, probably in the filesystem, environment variables, and Registry.
Recommendation:
Uninstall all Java installations. Remove residual files and directories.
Remove all classpath and other Java-related environment variables
Make sure that the path env is cleaned.
Edit the Registry - remove HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft
Scan (search) files for "java" or "sun" names and validate that the files found are one you want to keep, otherwise delete them.
Download a new copy of the offline installation version of whatever Java you want, and install - after reading the Installation Instructions.

I just installed adobe reader to convert files to Word and it worked. But now I scanned my resume in the same file and I cannot convert it to Word

I'm sorry I forget to tell you that I downloaded a file from Google and it worked when I converted it to word but it won't do it when I scanned my resume

Hi Micheled268353269,
Are you using export pdf services?
Do you get any error message while converting files?

Exchange 2007 New Install Error - Read only MultiValuedProperty does not support this operation

Existing Server/Exchange 2003 environment. New 2003 R2 x64 server fully patched and updated with no other apps installed attempting to install Exchange 2007 SP2.
Initially I was getting the error "Could not find the default Administrative Group ‘Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)’". This I
fixed by completely uninstalling per this Microsoft article,
this Microsoft FixIt article and this recommended blog post, ending with
setup.com /preparead. I'm making progress, because now I'm getting a new error attempting the install. Specifically, Hub Transport installation fails with "Read only MultiValuedProperty does not support this operation."
Executing
setup.com /prepareSchema fails. I've set the msExchVer attribute for CN=Offline Address Lists to 4535486012416 and gotten no change, the install still fails. This
Googled page exactly describes my problem, and all anyone could say was to add this version number. It doesn't work. Pretty much none of the threads I've read have a resolution beyond this. I'm stumped, any help would be greatly appreciated.

What's the error message when executing setup.com /prepareSchema fails? failed at Organization Checks?
Could you please check whether you are on the right schema version?
