Problem updating RH8 with Windows 7

I've been using RH8 with XP, but I got a new Windows 7 machine last week so I had to do a fresh install of RH8. I got through the install with no problems and the un-updated version of RH seems to work OK, but I need to apply both the 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 updates.
I attempted to run the install for 8.0.1 from the Adobe installer and though it seemed to go too fast, I received a message that the install was finished. However, when I tried to install 8.0.2, it said that I had to install 8.0.1 first, so apparently that install hadn't worked after all.
I downloaded 8.0.1 directly from the Adobe support center and tried to install it that way, but it dies directly after choosing the install language (English). I've restarted several times, restored the computer to a point before my first attempt in hopes of getting a clean try, etc. All to no avail.
I typically use RoboHelp HTML and the unpatched version is working, but I really need the 8.0.2 patch because I'm concerned about the integrity of the links and folders as the project grows. I'm at my wits end as far as what to do next (reinstall the whole thing?).
I would really appreciate any suggestions as to what to try next.
Thanks,
Tamara

UPDATE: FIXED!!
Hi Peter, I'll file your RevoUninstaller tip for next time...and I hope all is well on that side of the pond!
My problem appears to be with the semantics of the installer.
When ran the 8.0.1 updater, I was presented with a dialog that only allowed me to remove program and all related components. (uncomfortable phrasing, but refers simply to the updater, not RoboHelp itself)
Once I ran the "uninstall" on 8.0.1, I was able to run the "install" successfully.
This was also the case for the 8.0.2 update and the Captivate 5 update
SUGGESTION:
restructure the offending dialog to explain why a user might get the uninstall option, and explain that only the update will be uninstalled.
I'll certainly be writing a blog post and also posting at adobe.com/go/wish!

  • Problem Updating iTunes with Windows Vista

    I downloaded iTunesSetup.exe and ran as an Admin and during the installation I get an error message that says "Could not access network location %APPDATA%\."
    What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Apple, apparently, had a fix up for an earlier version of itunes, but that is gone from the web page, and has been yanked.
    Yes, there are big problems with iTunes for Windows. Until these are rectified, your Ipod will be a paper weight.

  • Major Sync and software update issue with windows 7 and iphone

    Loved my iPhone 3g and love my 4.0! My only concern is syncing and software updates are sporadic.
    When I first purchased and sync'd my 3g on my laptop, that I had since 2005 w/XP home 64bit, it would constantly (1 out of 5 times) show phone was disconnected and could not sync. Purchased a desktop, 2009 w/Vista 64bit (same issue mentioned continued) then upgraded to windows 7 64bit (same issue mentioned continued).
    Both pc's are authorized and contain the same apps and software. I went through all trouble shooting steps (authorize/deauthorize, phone hard boot, sync w/airplane mode on and/or off, uninstall and or reinstall iTunes, etc...) when both phones would brick after software updates on both pc's.
    The last software update 4.0 and most recent 4.2.1 went well on laptop with XP and no longer shows sync issue. The problem continues on the windows 7 and backup has completed successfully 3 times.
    Long story short, I have to pray the laptop never dies because iTunes, syncing and software updates on XP works now! The problem with software update, backups and syncing persists on windows 7.
    * I was able to apply 4.2.1 software update on XP and then connect to windows 7 to sync and backup successfully. I then disconnected/reconnected iphone to windows 7 and problem happened again, unable to sync phone was disconnected error message.

    I've had my new pc for over a year, never had any probs syncing my iphone (then a 3G but now the big 4!)
    I went to sync updates to Apps and a couple of tunes I had downloaded straight to my phone only to get an error message 'iTunes has stopped working - windows is checking the problem' followed by another messaged telling me there was a problem causing the program not to work correctly. Windows will close the program and notify me if a solution is found'
    Well..... I have NO music on my iPhone and every time I try to sync, the same error messages come up and the bloody program shuts down....

  • LR3.2 import problem on computer with Windows OS

    LR3.2 import problem on Windows OS
    This is a continuation of a question that I posed on August 22, 2010 in the discussion string "Cannot import CR2".  I have not been able to resolve the issue of importing an image into an existing folder location.  I had not been able to work on this issue for a number of weeks due to other circumstances, until today.   Note that the following people had attempted to provide answers and suggestions already:  ssprengel, JayS In CT.
    I use a laptop with a Windows operating system and a Macintosh desktop with Snow Leopard.  I run Lightroom on both of them.  The Windows laptop has Windows Vista Home service pack 2, version 6.0 [6002].  Around August 12th I upgraded from Lightroom 2 [481478], to Lightroom 3 on the laptop.  I left the LR2 on the laptop as well as LR3.  On September 12th I upgraded the laptop to LR3.2.  No other changes have been to the laptop or its software applications that I know of.
    My current attempts at resolving the issue reveal that when I created a new catalog "Test Catalog" in LR3 and saved that catalog to my desktop new folder labeled "Test Catalog" that I can import an image into LR3.2 to a new folder on the laptop's desktop.  I then deleted the images via LR3.2 Folders Remove function and tried to import the images into an existing folder as presented in the LR3.2 Import dialog, but get the error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read.".   When I import images into a new folder placed on the desktop, I can use all functions in LR3 e.g. Develop module.  I cannot import images into existing folders on the laptop's hard drive - I have tried importing into the entire existing folders in the following hierarchy:  c:\users\Michael\My Documents\My Pictures\2010  but always get the same error message.
    LR3.2 does correctly backups upon exiting each time I quit the program, so I know that there isn't any issue of writing to that backup folder which is contained in an upper folder that contains the lightroom catalogs.  I have even created a new Word file, saved it into the folder with Lightroom catalogs, opened it up, modified it, saved it, and saw that it works OK, so that tells me there is no problem with a Read-Only folder attribute.
    I cannot recall if upon the upgrade from LR2.6 to LR3 that I chose to upgrade the catalog to LR3 version.  Would that matter, if yes, what do I verify, how do I manual upgrade the catalog.
    History of actions between August 10th that I have taken follows between the [[[[ and ]]]]:  
    [[[[Preference settings for Default Catalog are set to start with a specific catalog that I call "Lightroom master catalog", it is not set to the "Load most recent catalog". 
    All of the following were using my laptop:  Previously I had no problem with LR2 for any functions.  I just purchased an Epson 7000 media storage device, and in early August and practiced importing images into LR2, and those images were pulled in OK. Next, I upgraded to LR3.  I discovered that the Epson's images had been placed into a wrong folder when I opened LR3.  I used the remapping function in LR3 to move the images into the correct folder.  Next, I used a SanDisk card reader to import images into LR3 into an existing folder of images, but the following error message appeared "the following files were not imported because they could not be read" (Import Results said  'some import operations were not performed').  I tried importing a single image, and multiple images, but had the same error.  I tried switching the card reader to each of 4 different USB port on the laptop, with the same error occurring on each USB port used.
    In order to try to isolate the problem.  I took the SanDisk card reader with the memory card and successfully imported the images into LR3 on my Macintosh desktop computer; so to me the problem is not the card reader or the memory card.  I also used the SanDisk recovery disk while using my laptop to look at the files on the memory card and I could see all the images correctly while in the recovery program, but I have not copied the images to the laptop's hard disk, and have not tried an import into the laptop's LR3.  I did not import images directly from my camera to the laptop LR3 since I did not think it would help with the troubleshooting. 
    I then ran the Repair from the Adobe LR3 CD upgrade disk, on my laptop.  Then I tried doing the import using the SanDisk reader and memory card, but the same problem occurred and same error message, that the files could not be imported (I was trying to import into a folder of existing images).  I then used the Laptop's Control Panel function to remove LR3 application.  Then I did a fresh upgrade of LR3 on my laptop, but the same error message and I am unable to do any import of the memory card from the card reader.  I then tried to do an image import from the Epson 7000 into the laptop, and the same error message and I am unable to do any import into a folder with existing images.   I then tried doing an image import into LR2 on the laptop, and got the same problem to occur when trying to import into an existing folder of images.  I have a couple of  Canon EOS SLR digital cameras, and the issue occurs for any of the file types of the cameras.
    Went into LR3 Preferences, General Tab, I now checked the previously unchecked box for Import Options - "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected".
    Connected the Canon XTi directly with a cable to the laptop computer.  Note that Canon's information said that Picture Transfer Protocol is automatically used when the XTi is directly connected to a computer, so I did not need to change anything in the camera's menu for communications choices (there is no communication menu in fact).  I selected one image and copied it to the laptop desktop.  Tried to import it into LR3 into a folder of existing images but got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location."  While in LR3, I changed the location of where the file would be copied into - any of my existing folders of images; tried 5 different folders, but kept getting the same error message.
    With the card reader connected via USB port on the laptop, I copied one image file to the desktop, and then tried importing into LR3 into a folder of existing images.  Got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location."]]]]

    I am not clear if by 'import' you are trying to copy or move the files from a location to another or if you are adding the files to a catalog.  My comments may not, therefore, be too helpful.
    Firstly, with both LR2 and LR3 installed you will have both catalogs present, but if you try to open the LR2 catalog with LR3 you will be prompted to update the catalog.  You will thus know which catalog you are working on. 
    Secondly, if you are reading direct from the camera, you should connect using the 'PC connection' mode.
    Thirdly, there is an issue with reading .CR2 files directly from the early Canon DSLRs (in Europe named 300D, 350D, 400D).  While they are visible with the Canon software, they can not be seen with Windows explorer nor can they be accessed with Lightroom. 
    I suggest that you take the CF card out of the camera and copy the files using Windows Explorer in to the destination folder.  You are then sure that the files are on the PC.
    If you have the right Codec installed, you can view them with Windows photo gallery; if you don't, you can use one of the Canon software packages to view the files.  You are then sure that the files are not corrupted.
    Then import the files to your LR catalog using the normal import routine selecting 'add without moving'.  I have tried this routine  successfully using my 350D using both LR1.x and LR3.x.  If that doesn't work - I'm lost.

  • 10.5.0.142 update incompatible with windows 7

    I unfortunately updated my desktop (windows 7 32 bit) and laptop (windows 7 64 bit) to itunes 10.5.0.142. Update seems incompatible with windows 7. It has slowed both computers to a crawl, even when itunes not running. Itunes functions do not work or process at a dead crawl. Cannot access the store. Cannot sync iphone. Tried reinstalling previous itunes version, but previous version can't access itunes library, giving error message: "cannot access itunes library that was created by newer version of itunes." Have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes multiple times. Have turned off all other processes to look for incompatibility, but issues remain. I am NOT PLEASED!.

  • Problems installing iTunes with Windows 8

    Hi,
    I have recently purchased a laptop with Windows 8. I have appeared to have installed iTunes but when I open it I get an error message saying the following:
    Apple application support was not found. Apple application support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (windows error)
    I have tried installing it and re-installing but this has not helped
    I have seen similar questions (and answers) on this forum but I am totally confused by the answers. Could anyone provide with a very clear, jargon-free solution to this problem?
    Any help is much appreciated
    Ali

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if a component such as Apple Application Support won't install normally.

  • Problem sharing file with windows 7

    I am tring to set up pc with the new macbook air.
    I can read/write files in Windows 7 from my macbook air. However, the reverse is giving me a headache.....(seriously)
    In my macbook air, Preference->Network->Advance->Wins , I set the workgroup as WORKGROUP ( my windows 7 workgroup name)
    Under the Wins servers, i've added ip address of my pc. (Tried both ways)                                     
    Also I check two boxes(AFP, SMB) in file sharing.
    set my username to give full permission and none for "Everyone".
    Now here is the problem. In my windows 7 pc, under the network, I can see my macbook appear. When I click, it is giving me a login pop-up. There, I've entered the login name of my macbook air, and password, but it kept giving me an error message that it is not the correct one.
    I have no idea why this happening. The most bazzarre thing is that it sometimes is connected with the same setting. Can anyone please help me?
    This is driving me for 3 days night and day.....
    Any comment/advise will be appreciated.
    thanks

    Here's what I just did and my Windows 7 PC sees all the folders under my Mac user name.
    I didn't touch anything in Network. It was already setup in the WINS tab for WORKGROUP.
    I opened Sharing from System Preferences. Selected File Sharing and after a few seconds, shared folders (user name Public) and users showed up. Windows Sharing is ON. I clicked on Options, checked 'Shared Folders and Files using SMB (Windows)' and checked my user name under Account. It prompted me for my user password. If you look under 'Windows Sharing: On', you'll see this "Windows users can access shared folders on this computer, and administrators all volumes, at \\192.168.1.xx." <--- internal IP address of your Mac.
    Then, I went over to my Windows 7 PC and mapped a drive to my MacBook Pro's internal IP address. I was prompted for my userID and password which I filled in with my Mac logged in userID/password. All the folders under my Mac user account appeared and I am able to open them. This may be all you need to do. Map the Mac internal IP to a drive letter in Windows 7.

  • WRV54G - Problems connecting wirelessly with Windows 7

    I'm unable to connect wirelessly to router using a HP laptop with windows 7. I have 2 xp laptops that connect without a problem. The HP laptop finds network, but once I click on network to connect, it does not ask for the security code therefore I can not connect to network.

    Hi. I think you need to verify your router MAC Filtering. I would suggest to disable it first. Check this link,

  • Cannot update software with Windows Phone 7 Connector.

    I cannot get Windows Phone 7 Connector to download software updates for my HTC Trophy. I unlocked the phone and took it to Europe last year, I returned to the US in January 2012 and the phone has been working fine, but I have not been receiving any software updates. Today I tried to download some apps and discovered that I've missed some updates and I cannot download anything through Marketplace until I fix it. When I try to update the software, I get an error message that tells me that Windows Phone 7 Connector cannot download the updates. I think the problem may have to do with the APN, but other users who have mentioned similar issues after reconnecting an unlocked phone have lost all data connection.
