Retries of x-fi software install cd fail
Where are the files or registry settings that the install cd uses to say, hey i tried to install the sound blaster apps already so let's skip it and go right to automatic update install? I'm trying to get the apps installed but since the first time failed because kaspersky thinks there was a trojan, subsequent installs skip the whole trying to install apps part.
Hi Smithwr3,
I don't know of a place where you can download a copy of the CD but you can get the driver and most of the applications from the support site. Click Support and select Sound Blaster. Look for Sound Blaster X-Fi Notebook. Once you click the X=Fi notebook, the driver and applications is on the Latest Downloads section.

Software Install Error: failed run: preflight script
I'm trying to install new software (the software instrument Trillian by Spectrasonics) but every attempt results in the error message:
"The following installation step failed: run preflight script for Trillian Disc 1 Core Library.
Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
I've tried everything I can think of with no result. I'm a Mac user of 18 years and can generally get myself out of the usual issues etc but I've never seen an error like this before and after trying the obvious have no idea where to start.
There's nothing on the software manufacturer's support site about this and apparently my tech support call will be answered "within three business days .
Any pointers much appreciated.
(I've tried various drives, rebooted various times, done the permissions thing etc)Thanks for the responses but the software is very much compatible with 10.6 (and is moving to 64bit this month).
Spectrasonics are rather slow to respond ("three business days" for a response to my call apparently !) and I can't find any solution in their support documents online.
The good news is that I discovered a workaround by logging out of my account and logging in as another user, it installed just fine that way, though it took a while to change permissions for my account.
The bad news that it's something in my user account, but I have no idea at what level.
Whatever it is is still there and I don't know what other effect it's having on my setup and and I can't find any fix or pointers about it anywhere, although I have found numerous references to users having the same problem trying to install software in OS X as a whole (not just 10.6). -
How to change number of retries and delay before retrying after software install failure
I deploy a software to client, but the installation is fail, so it will retry. but How to change the number of retries and delay before retrying after software install failure?
I find "Retry Settings" in "Software Distribution Component Properties". But I think it work for Distribution, not the installation. am I right?First, are you referring to packages or applications because the behavior is different.
Also, why do you want it to retry a failure? It failed for a reason so you need to fix the cause of the failure first. If it failed the first, it will likely fail the next time for the same reason. In general, ConfigMgr will only retry on transient type
errors.

Now the previous version won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 Airport Utility still won't open.
iTunes no longer recognizes my airport express.
Error Message:
None of the selected updates could be installed.
An unexpected error occurred.
Can't delete Airport Utility and reinstal from scratch as it is, “AirPort Utility” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.
Any sugestions?I reinstalled AirPort 5.5.3 which worked, but the app still won't launch but iTunes now recognizes my AirPort Express, I just hope I don't want to change its settings.

I have recently bought an iPhone 4S and I am trying to install iOS7. The install initially failed and I received an error message. I attempted a restore, however, the progress bar is now stuck at "Restoring iPhone software.."
I'm still attempting to restore it, but the process goes as follows
- Extracting software.
- Waiting for iphone.
- Preparing iphone software for restore.
- Verifying iphone software.
- Restoring iPhone software.
It is at this point where it begins to load approxiamtely 10% and then freezes. I have had the handset connected 7 hours with no progress and this is my third attempt since Friday. Please help.See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...

The following install step failed: run preupgrade script for AppleMobileDeviceSupport. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. what can i do to download software when the above message keeps popping up...not allowing me to download
I had the same problem this weekend. The iphone 4s needed Itunes10.5 to sync to her Asus Windows 7 Laptop. When I tried to download from the Apple website I got the error that the windows installer was missings files or something like that. I uninstalled itunes and tried again but that didn't work. Then I redownloaded itunes 10.3 just to have a working version in case I gave up. Then I found site that suggested I update Windows by going through the start menu and while doing that I found an update Apple itunes file.
Goto Start and type Widows Update in the seach window. Click on check for updates (I already was current with all updates but I suggest you download the updates if there are some available.
Goto start and this time just type update in the search window. Look for the Apple itunes update link and click on it. It found there were updates for itunes 10.5, Quick time, Safari, and Icloud. I checked all the updates except for Safari, since we don't use it (yet).
The install started then seemed to stall at one spot for ~3min but then completed successfully. I open itunes and had her synced with Outlook Contact, Email, Calender, and Notes in 5 minutes. I did already configure Outlook by going to tools and Trust Center.
I hope this works. -
Just upgraded software. When system prompts to update itunes and in the middle of the system's attempt to complete the upgrade, the message, "The following install step failed: run preupgrade script for AppleMobileDeviceSupport. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance" appears.
I don't understand what "preupgrade" needs to be done.
Anyone else experience this?

I have contacted Corel and after several emails and one telephone call, they tell me , they cannot help but they think the problem could be with the OS.

"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward. -

Install Failed: The following install step failed: run preflight script
I'm trying to reinstall Photoshop CS2 on an intel iMac, OS 10.5.5. I ran the install program, after a few seconds I get the following error message: "Install Failed: The following install step failed: run preflight script for Adobe Photoshop CS2. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." (I did contact adobe, but they no longer support CS2) Originally, I had installed PS CS2 when I was using OS 10.4.X, then I upgraded to 10.5.x. PS CS2 was working fine on my system. Then I accidentally deleted the program, now I'm having trouble reinstalling. I'd appreciate any help that you can give me.
I encountered the exact same problem - I had upgraded to CS2 from a previous version of Photoshop, back
when I was using OSX 10.3.9. Later, I upgraded my OS from 10.3.9, to Leopard (10.5.8.)
CS2 always ran flawlessly, through all those systems.
Then I had occasion to reformat my HD and reinstall Leopard 10.5.8.
That's when the CS2 installer failed, with the same message mentioned above.
When I called in, they basically said, buzz off....we won't help you.
First, this shows that their software is flawed.
They managed to allow this problem to occur due to inept programming.
Now they are either incapable, or unwilling, to write a programming fix for this problem.
It reeks olf ineptitude, plus colossal, inexcusable arrogance and disrespect for their customer base.
Just my humble opinion of course...and I've been a Photoshop user since 1990. -

Hi
I need to know the command for getting list of softwares installed on all the remote systems in network which are existing in their respective registry like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE of all other systemsHey
Sorry this isn't powershell but it should do the job if you want to use it. The problem with using the Win32_Product WMI Class to enumerate the installed software (especially on Windows 2000 & 2003 Servers) is that the WMI class is NOT installed by default. Here is a VBScript i wrote to read a list of hostnames from a text file named "ComputerNames.txt" from the scripts directory and attempt to remotely enumerate all subkeys within the following registry key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
For each subkey enumerated it will attempt to read the value of the "DisplayName" key and output the results to a csv file.
(the results should be the same as what you would see when you open Add/Remove Programs)
Hope that helps
Cheers
Matt :)
