Setup.exe "This app can't run on your PC"

Hello, I've been trying to install Windows 8 on my macbook pro (mid 2012) using boot camp. I was using a windows 8 .iso file with a flash drive. I got Windows 8 installed and running, but when I tried to install the boot camp drivers off of the flash drive (setup.exe) I keep getting a fullscreen error message saying "This app can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher." I've tried redownloading the windows support drivers to the flash drive but it didn't work. I'm having trouble finding any instance of this on all of the forums I checked and it is geting very frustrating. If anyone can help with this it would be much appreciated.

I think I found the problem, I discovered that I had installed a 32 bit windows 8 instead of the 64 bit one. Based on some other threads I've seen I'm guessing this is the problem and will post again when I'm finished reinstalling the 64 bit version in case anyone is curious.

  • SetDpmServer.exe (4.1.3465.0) on Windows Server 2012R2 (Azure VM) This app can't run on your PC: Access denied

    Hi,
    I've installed on a Windows Server 2012 R2 (Azure VM) the DPM agent 4.1.3465.0. This VM is not a domain member of my DPM 2012 SP1. So I ran the command
    SetDpmServer.exe -dpmServerName dpm.domain.com -isNonDomainServer -userName dpm -productionServerDnsSuffix
    domain.com
    Although I'm running the command prompt as Administrator I receive:
    This app can't run on your PC
    And in the command prompt I see: Access denied
    How can I tackle this?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi John,
    Here are 2 things I would like to confirm.
    1. Please confirm if Protection Agents is installed on target computer before running the command line. 
    In following article it provides the command line which you are using now. However it mentioned to install Protection Agents manually on target server first:
    Installing Protection Agents on Computers in a Workgroup or Untrusted Domain
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff399479.aspx
    And please noticed the 2 community additions:
    1.  make double-click on DPMAgentInstaller_x64.exe without specify DPM server name
    2. follow the examples in this article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff634193.aspx
    1). Enable NETBIOS over TCP/IP on BOTH DPM Server and proposed managed machine's WINS tab of NIC card properties sheet Local area connection status -----> Properties -----> Internet Protocol Version 4 -------> Properties ----> Advanced ----->
    WINS tab. Also assumes disable Windows Firewall OR create needed port openings.
    2). When using SetDpmServer.exe command also CRITICAL to use ONLY NETBIOS name of DPM Server and do NOT include [-productionServerDnsSuffix <DnsSuffix>] end command at username.

  • Can't run NMCAP on Server 2012 R2 - "This app can't run on your PC"

    Hi all,
    For some reason it would appear Microsoft have blocked NMCAP running on Windows 2012 R2 and 8.1 in the last week or so.
    When running NMCAP at the command line I get "This app can't run on your PC"
    Does anyone know how to get around this?
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Hi Paul,
    It seems to work on my Windows 8.1 machines as well, but nmcap won't won't run on any of our Server 2012 R2 machines now, it just gets blocked by SmartScreen.  I can run Network Monitor ok.
    It means I can't do things like this: nmcap.exe /network * /capture /file C:\nmcap\%computername%.chn:150M /TerminateWhen /KeyPress x
    Very odd!

  • My Asus Ultrabook says of the download of Premiere Elements 10 "This app can't run on your PC" and will not open installer (although I PSE10 working)

    I am running Win 8.1.  I have no DVD drive, so i downloaded. 
    Originally, the download #1 of 2 has an extension of ".7z".  I changed this to ".exe" .

    change it back to .7z.
    then download the accompanying file 2 of 2 (the exe), put both the 7z and exe in the same directory and click (or double click) the exe.

  • I Have a silver w/Mirror doors dual 867 running OSX10.2. I try to install OS9.2.1 I get "THIS PROGRAM CAN NOT RUN ON YOUR COMPUTER" Message I need to be able to run Classic.

    I have a powermac Silver with mirror doors 867 dual processors running OSX 10.2 no problem there but I need to run Classic but when I try to install OS 9.2.1 I get a "THIS PROGRAM CAN NOT RUN ON YOUR COMPUTER" message.

    Your G4 (MDD) dual 867MHz model Mac requires the model-specific version of OS 9.2.2 which originally came with that machine. It can not use any other version of OS 9.
    The model-specific version of OS 9.2.2 can be installed using the original disk set which came with that machine; that disk set boots to OS X 10.2, but the installer on it can install OS 9.2.2 (Classic) as an option.
    There is no stand-alone install disk (such as a retail, i.e. white-label, CD) which can be used to install Classic on that model G4.

  • Project spartan error - This app can't install

    I get an error that says This app can't install. Check the store for more info about Project Spartan.
    I'm running Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview Build 10049.

    Hi,
    Meanwhile, you can also test the Project spartan using another user acocunt or create a new user account.
    Project spartan should be installed automatically after you upgraded to preview build 10049, if this issue only happened recently, then I would suggest you return the system to a previous state with restore point and check if it
    can bring back the app.

  • I have an Intel iMac running OSX 10.6.8. I would like to use Final Cut Pro 10.1. I know I need OSX 10.9 for this. Can I run both 10.6.8 and 10.9 on the iMac ? I do not want to convert completely to 10.9 because of my existing software. Thanks for any help

    It would depend on how old your IMac is, how mush memory you have, it it can be upgraded by OWC, etc. I have a 2006 Macbook Pro and would NOT put Mavericks on it or espeacially FCP 10.1.1 on it because the most memory it can have is 4 GB. You need at least 8 GB to work with Final Cut Pro 10.1.1. IMHO.
      I would try to find a copy of Final Cut Express perhaps.
      Does this answer your question?

    i am using windows 8 pro in my laptop, when i try to install icloud 3.1 its giving me a error message " this app cant be run , check the version " what should i do now ?

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • "This file server is running on your machine." Message on starting Classic

    I am having a problem with Classic starting up. When it is almost done loading, i get the message "This file server is running on your machine. Please access the volumes and files locally." The only option is Ok, but upon clicking it the message pops up again. At first it would crash Classic after about three times. After disabling file sharing in OS9, it shows up about ten times before stopping, and Classic continues to run.
    System specs are in the signature (the first one)

    Have you ever had AppleShareIP installed on your OS 9 System?
    When Mac OS X Server is installed, it tends to be perfectly happy with having the Server on the same machine.

  • Windows 8.1 Setup exe This product key didn't work. Check it and try again

    I am upgrading my machine with a new MOBO and SSD. I need a full windows 8.1 install disk so I am trying to create one from the WindowsSetupBox.exe file.
    I am doing this on the machine that I will be upgrading and it currently has 8.1 Pro.  When I enter my product key (yes confirmed correct) I get 'This product key didn't work. Check it and try again.'
    My MOBO is coming today and I really want to get this thing done tonight but I can't even begin without an 8.1 Pro install disk.  any help is much appreciated.
    NOTE:  I tried the regedit fix that I found for the same error on activating windows.  (no luck)

    I attempted this, and it installed fine but would not accept my key when trying to change.
    I had to call tech support and waste a lot of time only to get disconnected.  However, upon calling back the very first person I talked to was very helpful.  He had me run slui 4 which prompted for my location and then gave the activation id that
    I had to read to him.  Next, I was prompted for a confirmation number supplied by him.
    After this it showed windows was active, but a few hours later it said once again that I needed to activate.  At this time my original product key did in fact work fine for activation.  Thanks for the help guys.  Ultimately, there doesn't
    seem to be an answer for my problem other than letting tech support fix it and hope you get someone that knows what to do when you call.

  • What client-style apps can you run on Leopard Server?

    I have a small network and therefore want my Leopard server to also support a small number of OSX applications: iTunes (including iTunes sharing), DVD Player, Safari, Mail, etc. to allow me to use it as an occasional workstation for small tasks.
    Is this possible? I assume Leopard Server has all the underpinnings of Leopard, but it's not clear on the Apple web site.
    Other than risking server stability, are there any other issues with doing this?
    Thanks.

    I would agree with the assessment that Tiger Server is roughly as stable as Tiger Client where running 'client' applications (I would refer to them as GUI-based apps run from the console). I can't comment on the stability of Leopard Server in the same regard; haven't had it out of the box long enough yet.
    You have to ask yourself how much stuff you really want to run on the server; if it's a business-critical server that you can't afford much downtime on, then installing a lot of applications will start to work against you. In addition to eating up processor and memory resources that could be used by Mail, Web service, etc., GUI-based apps may make your server somewhat more crash-prone.

  • Java.exe problems. - can't run without class being placed in bin

    this is weird, but it's happened to me before. Something on my pc isn't letting me run my class files unless I actually place them in the bin directory under jdk1.3.1_02.
    what's the deal?
    I've checked my env. variables, but I don't know if I have them wrong or what.
    Can someone please help?!
    c:\ java Client
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Client
    Sam

    Actually I would bet money all he needs is the classpath statment such as I directed a few posts up..
    He needs the period at the end to tell the java interpeter to search the present directory...
    Most of you are mistakeing his questions. If the compiler could not find the class files it wouldn't compile. Since he said he get's the error when:
    c:\ java Client
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Client
    Tells me that he wrote a program called Client and the interpeter can't find his compiled class file..
    Because the class path variable isn't set to present directory (the piriod) I had this same problem the first time I installed java.. It drove me nuts. I spent 2 months programming out of the bin directory before I found the classpath statment.. hehe (hey we were all beginners once)
    Gehan
    Ps. If you want convermation on what I said go read the link I posted on classpath statments
