Setup.exe hangs

Hi all,
I successfully downloaded the complete Adobe CS4 Design Premium files (4.5GB). Now after clicking on the setup.exe, nothing happens. I see in the Task Manager that the setup.exe is listed and consumes some 17K of memory, but nothing happens. I closed all open windows. Nothing. I am stuck.
My configuration: Windows XP, SP2, German
I would be glad for any hints.
Thanks a lot.
Gert Franz

I have this same problem with any Adobe install EXCEPT Flash Player Plug-in, I have tried the suggested and I have also tried Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, I have uninstalled all previous versions and traces of past Adobe products. Other installs work just fine it seems it is an Adobe specific problem. I have all updates and Windows XP SP3 x86 I run Anti-virus/Anti-Spyware/Anti-Malware/Registry Cleaners regularly so it is not a question of infection...Ive run out of ideas and am close to reformatting. Please help, I've been searching out a fix for the past month or two.

CS4 Setup.exe hangs 32-bit Vista SP1 Clean install

Help!
I'm having problems installing CS4... After the autoplay opens and I click "Install CS4", the setup.exe process appears in Task Manager, but nothing else happens on the computer.
Any ideas? I'm using CS4 Design Premium, I've got a clean install of Vista SP1 (32-bit version) so I can't work out what's going wrong.
Cheers,
Mick

found a solution that worked fine 4 me at http://www.flashden.net/forums/thread/upgrading-to-flash-cs4-from-cs3/8620?page=1
Seems setup has some java issues. Well, worked fine for me and everything is working fine here, so if the url dont open, try this to install:
thanks goes to modnarus.
PROBLEM FIXED .
I got the Flash CS4 upgrade to work. If anyone else experiences the same problem when upgrading from Flash CS3 to CS4 heres what I did to correct.
PROBLEM :
You download the install files and click setup. The setup either hangs on the initializing setup screen, OR you see the setup screen briefly and it disappears.
SOLUTION :
(1) Attempt to install Flash CS4 upgrade normally (clicking setup.exe). You probably already did thisso you can actually skip
(2) Go to control panel, add/remove programs and you should see Flash Professional CS4 in the program list. Leave the control panel up, you will need this later
(3) Navigate to the following folder on your hard drive: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\a68eec966ce913ddaa63251dc82ed31\resources\common\scripts
(4) Locate a file called ContainerProxy.js open it with a text editor (E.G.: Notepad).
(5) Go to line 1102 or simply search for: jsonObj = _jsonToObject(window.external.SetSessionInitialized(initValue)); and replace this line with: jsonObj = _jsonToObject(SetSessionInitialized(initValue));
(6) Save the file by pressing [Strg]+S or use the menu: Menu -> File Save.
(7) Go back to the Control Panel
(8.) Highlight software being installed (Flash CS4 )
(9) Reinitialize the installation by clicking on the change/remove button.
(10) Setup should now work as normal.

10g (10.2.01) setup/java.exe hangs on Windows 2000 SP4.

Hi all,
I'm currently having an issue with a 10g install on Windows 2000 (SP4) hosted on a Windows Virtual Machine.
I remote to this machine using PCAnywhere.
When I run setup.exe it just hangs on the java.exe process.
I have run the setup with a -debug option and am not seeing anything out of the ordinary.
I have also checked the the log and it does not seem to contain any errors.
I have run through the 10g pre installation requirements and don't believe that is a problem as the
machine and OS meets all the criteria.
I have researched a similar setup.exe/java.exe hanging issues and have tried some of those solutions to no avail.
For instance moving the 10g the install folder to C: drive and confirming there are no spaces in the install path.

As Daniel stated on his previous post, this is not supported from the official oracle point of view, so if you are implementing this for production environments, even if it worked, you would be on your own. However, this should work. Check if you have any other java environment on the scope of the PATH environment variable. A virtual machine is from the OS configuration point of view the same as a physical machine, if the PATHs are scrambled and if you are accessing different versions of JRE at install time, this won't work, and the first symptom is a frozen java session.

Firefox will not install on XP, hangs after extract, setup.exe at 100% of CPU

Did full FF unistall, ran CCleaner, cleaned registry of any mention of FF or Mozilla, rebooted. Downloaded FF 21, 22 and 24, all have same problem: Install extracts all the files to C:\Temp\7Z..., then runs setup.exe, but setup.exe consumes 95+ of CPU for an hour, but does not install anything. Tried in Win XP Pro SP3 Safe Mode, same issue. Machine runs OK otherwise, can use other browsers w/o problem. If I kill the FF setup.exe, machine returns to normal w/o reboot. C: drive has ample space.
Also tried killing all unneeded services and programs before running install, but that does not help.
(It is not the machine from which I am writing this message, so the Automatically Add does not apply.)
Real puzzler!

?? How would you know that the machine had any plugins at all? FF was completely unisntalled and there is no pluginreg.dat file, no profiles, nichts.

Creative MediaSource setup.exe ha

I downloaded CMS_PCAPP_LB_3_30_2.exe and tried to install it. After doing CRC checks and downloading some files, the setup program hangs. I see it on the taskbar, but all of the options (Move, Size, Close, etc.) are grayed out, and the Task Manager lists it as Not Responding.
Has anybody else encountered/gotten around this problem?

Clearing the temp folder didn't help. However, I did find a work-around--and perhaps it will work for others, as well.
I used WinZip to "manually" extract the contents of CMS_PCAPP_LB_3_30_2.exe into a folder. I then drilled down Setup\Setup\setup.exe, and ran that setup program. While there are other setup programs, I figured I'd start there, then manually run the others if anything turned up missing. But, so far, that doesn't seem to have been necessary.
Logically, I probably "should" have started with install.exe, but that appeared to be the program that was hanging.
So far, so good...

Oracle 9i download setup.exe problem

Downloaded and unzipped Disk1, Disk2, Disk3 per instructions, but when I try to run setup.exe, I get an hourglass for two seconds, then nothing happens at all. Running Win2k Pro.

We has a similar problem with 8.1.7. Is your machine a Pentium 4? If so, it may be similar to the problem we had.
The advice we got from Oracle support was as follows:
--There are known issues where Oracle Universal Installer(OUI) hangs on Pentium IV
--machines. Any Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.1.9.0 and earlier installation on a
--platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the Sun JRE and Symantec
--Just in Time Library (JIT) will encounter this problem. Windows NT is confirmed
--to be affected by this issue.
--Please refer to <Note:131299.1> which suggests three possible workarounds for
--this issue.
--Currently there is not a patched Installer available to deal with this problem.
--Hence I'm afraid one of the workarounds listed above has to be used.
You'll need to go to metalink to look at the note if this does apply.
Hope this helps,
Gary Mason

Setup.exe don't start (8.1.7)

Hello,
I have to install Oracle Server 8.1.7 (Release 3) under Win2000 Server. But I couldn't start the install.exe (setup.exe). Nothing happens.
But in readme documents it should be possible to install this version under Win2000 Server.
Could somebody help me. What do I need??
By the way, the CD is ok, they started normally under Win2000.
Thank you
Dana

Subject: ALERT: Oracle Installer 8.1.X Hangs on Machines with Pentium 4 Processors
Type: ALERT
Status: PUBLISHED
Content Type: TEXT/PLAIN
Creation Date: 02-JAN-2001
Last Revision Date: 01-MAY-2003
Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) for RDBMS 8.1.x Hangs on Machines with Pentium 4 Processors ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Versions Affected ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oracle Universal Installer version 1.7.1.9.0 and earlier versions (bundled with products in 8.1.X CD packs). Platforms Affected ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor with Sun JRE and Symantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 98 and NetWare operating systems are confirmed to be affected. Description ~~~~~~~~~~~ The Oracle Universal Installer hangs when installing Oracle 8.1.x Server and Client products on machines that use Sun JRE and Symantec JIT. Likelihood of Occurrence ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Any Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.1.9.0 and earlier installation on a platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the Sun JRE and Symantec Just in Time Library (JIT) will encounter this problem. Possible Symptoms ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The failure is manifested in these ways: - The affected application simply terminates. - The installer hangs, quits, dies or disappears. - The hourglass appears, disappears and nothing else happens. Fix ~~~ 1. Obtain the OUI application (~15.3MBs) under patch number 1507768 in Metalink: a. Click Patches button b. Enter 1507768 in the Patch Number field c. Click Submit d. Download the patch 2. Unzip the patch to a temporary directory. 3. Uncompress the resulting Jar file (~20MBs). 4. Navigate to the following subdirectory under the temporary directory where the patch was unzipped and rename symcjit.dll cd <temporary_directory>\Disk1\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin Rename symcjit.dll to symcjit.dll.old 5. Navigate to: cd\Disk1\install\win32 6. Run the setup.exe program from the current directory and install the OUI to your hard disk. 7. Use/Invoke this installed OUI from Start menu > Programs, to install Oracle 8.1.x and related products. Workarounds ~~~~~~~~~~~ Workaround 1: 1. Create a temporary directory on your server. 2. Copy the entire contents of the Oracle RDBMS Server CD to the temporary directory created in step 1. 3. Search the directory structure created in Step 1 for the existence of the filename symcjit.dll. 4. Rename each copy of the symcjit.dll to symcjit.old. 5. Run the setup.exe from the install\win32 directory (under the directory on your hard disk used in Step 1) and install Oracle 8.1.x and related products. Workaround 2: If you continue to experience any of the symptoms after performing Workaround 1, follow these steps: 1. Copy the contents of the \install directory on your CD-ROM to a temporary directory on your hard disk. 2. Search for all copies of the 'symcjit.dll' file both in and under the directory from Step 1, and rename them to 'symcjit.old'. 3. Navigate to the directory you created in Step 1, and open the 'oraparam.ini' file for editing. Please note this file is write-protected, and the properties of the file must be changed to allow writing before editing. 4. Change the JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS parameter to JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms64m -mx128m 5. Save the oraparam.ini file. 6. Navigate to the win32 subdirectory, under the directory you usedin Step 1, and run the setup.exe program. If you have tried Workarounds 1 and 2 and still experience problems, please do the following: Workaround 3: 1. Navigate to: Start> Settings > Control Panel > System 2. Select the "Advanced" tab 3. Click the "Environment Variables" button 4. Highlight the PATH entry and click "Edit..." 5. Copy down the current PATH setting. 6. Remove any entries that refer to previous JRE directories Note: Care should be taken when editing the system path. Incorrect edits can prevent Windows or other applications from starting properly. 7. If any entries were removed, repeat Workaround 1 or 2. Patches ~~~~~~~ Patch 1507768 is available on Metalink, and should be installed using the Fix section of this article.

\\SERVER\Clients\Setup\setup.exe with Windows Vista Error

I added the first Vista client to an SBS 2003, SP1 domain. Until now, all clients were WinXP, SP2. Office 2003 is installed on the XP clients, and the Vista client, which may not be pertinent to this problem.
As is normal, "\\SERVER\Clients\Setup\setup.exe /s SERVER" is executed when a user logs on to any domain client. On the Vista client, I always get the dialog -- regardless of the account privilege -- asking for permission to run Setup.exe. It is annoying. Occasionally, the Program Compatiblity Assistant will appear and advise there's a known compatiblity issue with Setup.exe. It points to KB article 926505 for resolution. The title of the KB is, "Windows Small Business Server 2003: Windows Vista and Outlook 2007 compatibility update."
When I run the SBS2003SP1-KB926505-X86-ENU.EXE fix, I get the error: "This update cannot be installed. Either it is already installed as part of an existing service pack, or it requires a more recent service pack. For more information, see the systems requirements on the download page."
I installed Windows Server 2003 SP2 and run the KB926505 fix, but I get the same error "This update cannot be installed. Either it is already installed as part of an existing service pack" After a reboot of te SBS server the same problem on the Vista client, I always get the dialog -- regardless of the account privilege -- asking for permission to run Setup.exe. It is annoying. Occasionally, the Program Compatiblity Assistant will appear and advise there's a known compatiblity issue with Setup.exe. It points to KB article 926505 for resolution.
The problem is Windows Vista Business, because all windows XP clients have no problem at all.

PNP,
You do not say whether if you accept the permission dialog whether the setup continues or not, but the short answer to the question revolves around UAC.
Remember that EVERY user (except the actual Administrator account) has only Standard user rights regardless of group. When a task that requires Admin rights is executed, one of three things will happen: 1) If you are THE Administrator, then your task will continue. 2) If you have Admin rights, you will be prompted that a process is trying to use elevated rights and ask for permission, or 3) If you are a Standard user, you will either be denied flatly or prompted to supply credentials. Which of these happen depend on GPO settings, but the default is to prompt.
In any event, I believe that this is what you are running into, and is one of the big feature improvements in Vista. Yes, it can be a bit annoying (Try deleting an "All Users" icon from the Start Menu!) but is there to place one more barrier between virus and malware writers and your OS.
If it's TOO annoying to bear, you can turn off UAC by going into your profile and disabling it. (It requires Admin rights, of course. ) It is not recommended as you do a very effective job or nutering the Vista Security Model by doing so.
If it, of course, your choice. we IT Admins have a lot more issues with this than the standard user, but for me, I gladly take the tradeoff because I worry a lot less about those few I HAVE to give Admin rights to.
Good luck!

Photoshop CS4 Setup.exe gets Setup Error on Windows 8.1

First: I've paid for Photoshop and upgrades for many years. However, when time came to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 last year, Adobe had shut that avenue off, and didn't want my money.
I now have a new computer, and need to re-install Photoshop CS4. I followed the CS4 download instructions in this forum (because Adobe has also removed those instructions -- even though they sold the CS4 upgrade as a download!)
When I run the Setup.exe file, three things happen right away:
1) It says "Checking System Profile"
2) It says "Setup Error -- Setup hs encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance."
3) It pops up a dialog and asks for a serial number.
This happens even when I Run As Administrator.
Trying to contact Adobe Customer Support just re-directs me to these forums.
Help!

The problem is not with activation, because the Setup Error happens before I enter any serial number.
I am downloading from Adobe, using the download suggestions found in another thread.
I have the discs for CS2, but not CS4, as CS4 was bought as a downloadable upgrade.
It turns out that, if I ignore the setup error and dismiss that dialog, and enter my serial number (and that of the previous version, because it's an upgrade,) it goes ahead and installs, so the "error must quit" is apparently not quite accurate.

8i EE Setup.exe crash - XP Pro and AMD X2 CPU

When trying to install 8i on my XP Pro (SP2) box with and AMD X2 3800+, setup.exe crashes as soon as it is run. I've tried the fix for P4s (renaming the symcjit.dll instances), but to no avail. This happens wherever the setup.exe is run from.
Has anyone encountered this problem and managed to fix it?

Hope you realize that Microsoft has changed a number of the kernel APIs with XP. Oracle8i was written to older APIs and you may experience crashes, possibly at random, simply because you are trying to run things in an incompatible way.
(I see this as a bit like buying a new car chassis and putting in an old engine and transmission - there is a lot of tinkering required to get the motor mounts to match.)
In my experience, people who have made 8i work on XP Pro have generally upgraded XP from an older OS and have been lucky enough to have the old APIs still lying around.
Suggest you try moving up to a newer version of Oracle and, if necessary, use the compatibility parameter to keep compatibility.

CS4 Master Collection/Windows 7 Broken Setup.exe

Yesterday I made the jump from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Beta--everything carried over nicely except for my CS4 Master Collection. Upon booting Premiere Pro up, I was informed that my "trial" had expired--a fact which I knew was not true as I own retail. I figured that uninstalling and re installing would solve my problem, but when I rebooted the setup, the installer would install about 15% of the complete package before giving me an error and closing.
After this, I read through some forums and learned that I needed to run CS4Cleanup from Adobe to reinstall the programs; I installed both the CS4Cleanup and the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (the Windows Installer Cleanup was needed for the Adobe Cleanup to work) and ran the CS4Cleanup successfully.
However...when I attempted to run the Setup.exe after the cleanup, the initial Setup gets to about 80% and then informs me that the "setup encountered an error and cannot continue" and then closes on me. Since using the WIndows and Adobe Cleanups, I am now worse off then I was before! Does anyone have any suggestions/solutions?

Hopefully you were not even thinking about using a beta release of an operating system for production work! Even Microsoft warns you about that! And even more so, you should not even attempt to do an "in place" operating system "upgrade" (something that has never worked particularly well with any Microsoft operating system).
Assuming you were just "hacking around" trying to see how well Windows 7 may work with existing applications, you should have deactivated the Adobe software running under Vista, backed up data, and totally reformatted the disk (low level format) before attempting any such experiments.
Please understand that Adobe does
not support operation under pre-production operating systems. CS4 was released well before there were any builds of Windows 7 available to developers.

I am trying to install current Firefox 3.6, as I am currently running an older Firefox on my Windows ME, but I keep getting this error message: "Setup has caused an error in SETUP.EXE Setup will now close."--Please help?

I have downloaded all IP changer Privacy software I have purchased and am trying to install it, and although it is made to work with WindowsME that I am currently using on my computer, it now says it requires Firefox 3 or above to be able to install the software. Therefore, I am trying to update my Firefox to current 3.6 but once Firefox 3.6 downloads it doesn't install. Instead I just keep getting the same error message: Setup has caused an error in SETUP.EXE. Set up will now close. Several times, I have also tried restarting the computer as the error message also recommended But I just still keep getting the same error message when I try to update/install Firefox 3.5. Please help/advise on how I can fix this problem. Many thanks in advance!

Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
You can get it from here, but you are better off using K-Meleon (derived from Firefox) or Opera instead an old version of Firefox:
[ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/]
You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz. 3.5 and later supposedly doesn't work.

I am trying to install my CS4 Suite onto new PC with Windows 8. It installed Photoshop but nothing else. It is asking me to "Install with 'setup.exe'" Which i dont think is on there. Is there a way around this? Thanks in advance.

Run the cleaner tool and reinstall with sufficient user privileges and security stuff turned off. Your install went wrong because you didn't consider this.

Explorer.exe hangs on resolution changes

I seem to have to have a very persistant, very reproducable and very annoying problem with explorer.exe just completely "hanging" frequently. This started happening near the end of November, about a month after I used Windows 7 (professional x64) with no problems. To make a long story short, it happens nearly any time my display changes (resolution or anything else).
Here's a more detailed description:
Before late November, everything worked perfectly. I don't recall what could have caused the change. I uninstalled anything I installed during or after November. I do not have anything visible on my desktop. However, any time the resolution changes, explorer.exe hangs using 50% of my cpu, or 100% of one core. Clicking on the taskbar or desktop lets me know that "Explorer.exe has stopped responding", allowing me to restart it, which I occasionally also choose to do via Process Explorer. At first, I only noticed during or after playing games, but now I have tested this thoroughly and determined that it is in fact most likely a display problem, concluded from the following pretty exhaustive list:
Unplugging my external monitor causes explorer.exe to hang.
Plugging in my external monitor also does.
Changing resolutions on either monitor, to any resolution, causes explorer.exe to hang.
Changing resolutions on the internal monitor while the external monitor is unplugged also causes a hang.
Uninstalling the ATI display drivers causes a hang.
Changing resolutions with the default Windows display drivers between 800x600 and 1024x768 (the only two options) causes a hang. (Uninstalled and followed with Driver Sweeper so no trace of the ATI display drivers are available and the display is running purely on Windows defaults.)
Installing updated ATI drivers causes a hang directly after the resolution is changed automatically.
Unchecking all options in the "Perfermance Options" causes explorer.exe to hang.
Unchecking all options but leaving visual styles on does not result in a hang (if it was on to start with).
Turning off visual styles causes the display to blink briefly before displaying the "Please wait" box and, when it is finished and the desktop is displayed again, explorer.exe has been hanging approximately since the display blink.
Running games that cause the resolution to change usually cause explorer.exe to hang, but not always. This is particularly odd. Opening the simple game Torchlight in full screen at 1280x800, does not pose a problem; however, Alt-Tabbing out of it causes the hang as well as closing it, which both revert the resolution to the desktop resolution (1920x1200). Running the game in a window is no problem. Running the game in full screen at 1920x1200 is also no problem, regardless of starting, using Alt-Tab or closing, even though the display blinks for a moment. Team Fortress 2 consistently causes explorer to hang when launching (hanging TF2 as well, until explorer has been killed). All goes well while TF2 is running, even with explorer restarted. When TF2 is closed, explorer hangs again. Thus, it always causes explorer to hang, whether opening or closing. In windowed mode, it causes no problems. I can give examples of a number of more games if it helps pinpoint the problem.
The event viewer shows no errors or warnings after a hang (except for the standard ones that are generated if the "Explorer.exe has stopped responding" dialog shows up by clicking on the taskbar or desktop. If it is killed manually before showing the dialog, nothing shows up.) It does log some information specific to ATI functions in the ACEEventLogSource which seem to be specific to an explorer freeze. No information was generated when Torchlight changed resolutions without a resulting hang but the following was generated upon closing, with an explorer hang:

Disabling all non-Microsoft Shell extensions (with ShellExView x64) didn't help.
As of writing, I have the feeling it didn't happen in safe-mode but I would need to retest this to make sure.
A clean boot yields no improvement. Changing the resolution following a clean boot still results in a hang.
Using Process Explorer, I have also checked all non-Microsoft DLL's running in conjunction with Exlporer.exe and these were only db's (some related to BitTorrent), a Comodo antivirus DLL and a bunch of Broadcom Widcomm Bluetooth files. Thus, I uninstalled all of those including the bluetooth software and drivers, unfortunately, to no avail. Changing resolutions still crashes Explorer!
My system is as follows:
ASUS M51Va Notebook
Windows 7 Professional x64
ATI Radeon HD 3650
Catalyst Version 09.12
DirectX Version 11
Direct3D Version 8.14.10.0716
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.9232
Internal monitor Generic PnP Monitor at 1200x800 32bit 61Hz
External monitor Samsung SyncMaster 2433BW/2433GW, SyncMaster Magic at 1920x1200 32bit 59Hz connected by an HDMI to DVI-D cable
Anti-virus is Comodo
If any more information is needed I'll gladly provide it! This is truly a very aggrivating problem. Particularly when gaming or hooking up displays for presentations etc. I really can't think of any thing else that could be meddling with Explorer, causing it to crash. I would love to find the source of the problem, but I'm prepared to finally bite the bullet and reinstall Windows to get rid of this extremely annoying problem. Help would really be appreciated.
If I figure anything out, I'll post the results.
