Setup.exe won't compete to allow driver installation

I've been using my K7N2 Delta2 Platinum motherboard without issues for years now. Made no system changes whatsoever but a windows update caused me tons of issues. I took the opportunity to clear out all my files and start from scratch. Reformatted the drive, reinstalled Windows XP Home. Then I downloaded the driver files from MSI, put it on the desktop and ran setup.exe. The MSi screen comes up, then the install shield wizard initializes, then closes.
I am missing all my important drivers and I'm sort of stuck on what to try next. I've downloaded a fresh copy, same old.
Any thoughts, PLEASE!!!

No av software on as this was a clean, reformatted install, and since the ethernet driver isn't working I haven't put anything on yet.
I tried in safe mode, same thing.
I just reformatted and reinstalled windows, again. I had left everything (printer, router...) plugged in when I installed windows last time. Just in case, or some glitch installing windows started fresh again.
Running a memory test now, so far so good.
As soon as that is done I'll try again.
Any other ideas???

Photoshop 7 setup.exe won't start

Hello everyone !
Thank you for reading my question and taking some time to help me. Much appreciated
I have some troubles with my photoshop 7. When I click on the exec setup file, it starts and then stops. Nothing happens, no window, no error message, just the exec doesn't launch.
The setup exe seems to be running in the task manager but appart from this, zero.
I've tried the administrator mode, the XP compatibility mode, the installation files copied on the C drive, ... nothing works.
I'm running a Windows 7 64 bits system, 8GB ram, and an SSD drive on C:.
Could someone help me with this issue ?
I've looked into the previous discutions on this website about similar issue but it was on different versions of Photoshop.
If my question has been already asked, please forgive me as a first-time user of the adobe community !
Best regard

Oracle 9.2 setup.exe won't run on P3 with Win2K SP3

Hi, everyone:
We had difficulty in installing Oracle 9.2 onto our Dell P3 Latitude C800 laptop running Win2K Professional with SP3. As many of you already reported, after double clicking "setup.exe", it won't run and nothing happened. We tried to run "autorun.exe" but that didn't work either. We also changed the system Temp/Tmp environment variables but no help either. Since our laptop is P3, not P4, not sure whether changing the symcjit.dll name would help.
This seems to be a Java issue but not sure exactly what caused the problem. We had TrendMicro's OfficeScan AV s/w installed. Is that the problem? What other commonly used s/w are Java based and may cause conflict with Oracle installer? We only have MS Office, VisualBasic, UltraEdit, Acrobat, WinZip, and GetRight installed on the laptop.
Are there any other suggestions for us to try? Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Setup.exe won't run on Windows XP?

I am trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows XP (Pro).
When I run setup.exe, nothing happens. The task manager process
list shows that setup starts and it starts jrew.exe, then both
disappear from task manager process list and nothing happens.
How do you install on Windows XP?

I am haveing the same problem, but with Win 2000 Server
I tried running the third tier setup i.e. \\install\win32\setup.exe
Doesn't work either. I disabled most of the services on my server, even terminal services (which requires the install from ad-remove progs)sitll no show.
It is an older Proliant server w. Quad P1's @200mhz but I think it meets the minimum requirements. And if it doesn't shouldn't I get an error?
I am trying to install this for home eval in my DBA cert class.
Anyone?

Downloaded Discoverer4.1: can't install (setup.exe won't run)

Hi,
Just downloaded Discoverer 4.1 (admin4133f.zip) and unzip files in directory c:\temp (along with Oracle Forms and Report and Oracle 8i zip files) but whenever i run setup.exe nothing happens.
I've already got Oracle Personal Edition 8i and Developer 6i installed in my pc.
thanks

I've already got Oracle Personal Edition 8i and Developer 6i installed in my pc.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I've eccounted the similar installation problem - Oracle Discoverer installation at the OracleHome that already has Oracle Reports lead to setup.exe fail. This is noted since Discoverer 3.1.+ and Reports 3+
Try to install Discoverer into another OracleHome.
If installing in the same Home - Discoverer must be the first, Reports - the second...
(By the way - watch for the 9iAS EE installation - you'll see Discoverer goes first :) )

Setup.exe Won't Run on XP Pro

Downloaded the 3 files, checked the file sizes, unzipped them into Disk1, Disk2 and Disk3, went to Disk1 and double-clicked on setup.exe. Nothing happened. I've downloaded the files twice.
I've got a new P4-2.4 Ghz computer with 1 GByte RAM and 120 GByte disk, most of it empty. Running Windows XP Pro. I'm logged in as an administrative user.
I have no idea what is wrong.

Hi:
I've downloaded 3 disks to win2000 machine, but looks like the downloaded file size is smaller than that indicated on OTN download page. So when I tried to unzip them, i got the error messgae saying that "it's not the right archive".
did anyone of you ever experienced such downloading problem?
many thnaks for your kind response.

ITunes SetUp.exe won't install

I was so afraid of my computer crashing but when I tried to click the iTunes Set Up exe program is doesn't do anything. A window briefly opens saying "Preparing to Install", but after that, nothing.
What do I do?

Right click on my computer and go to properties. Once you get on properties go to the general tab and make sure that you are running service pack (4). If you are go and type how to uninstall itunes and quicktime for windows.

I have already checked the DB, it is up and also the log files; db is not running out of space and also checked with the admin pwd in the secure store.
Any pointers to this !!!!

Hi,
Bootstrap seems to be failing. I don't think it's up to the database, rather something on the filesystem level:
com.sap.engine.bootstrap.SynchronizationException: ERROR: Writing file http://.\bin\ext\Oracle JDBC Driver Cust\ojdbc14.jar.
Can you check if there's something strange about the location? Might it be permissions issue (bear in mind that except for CE dev edition processes are running as SAPService<SID> on Windows and <sid>adm on Unix and it's bad to have files relevant for the server that are not accessible for these users)?
Best regards, dido

Windows 7 32bit bootcamp driver setup.exe not working?

I know this question has been asked several times, and I apologize for repetition, but I've downloaded the bootcamp files for 32bit windows 7, and copied them to install the drivers onto windows, but the setup.exe changes to an application that 'is not intended for this computer model'.
The 'new' setup.exe after accessing the external hard drive bootcamp:
As you can see, Windows 7 installed properly, but the drivers have not been installed. The only reason I am able to use Windows on this is because I manually installed the network adapter hard drive. If there is a way to fix this so I can properly install the drivers, I would love to know.
Thank you for your time.

You can find links for the various versions of Boot Camp here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
Just find the correct model and version of windows and download the Boot Camp version provided by the link.
Note that there are a variety of versions of 4 available so it is important to make sure you find the correct model in order to get the correct version.

Install Adobe Premiere Elements 10 using the setup.exe in the root folder

I am trying to make an SCCM install package for PremiereElements_10_LS15_win64. I am following the directions I found here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/silent-install-instructions-photoshop-element s-1.html and I am using a Win7 SP1 machine with a new NT profile that does have admin rights. The error I receive is, "Install Adobe Premiere Elements 10 using the setup.exe in the root folder."
Also, when I try to use AAMEE 2.1 I am told that when I use the containing the setup.exe and the .msi that "A valid installer could not be found."

Hi Chris,
First of all, you will not be able to package PSE 10 using AAMEE. It needs to be packaged only using the xml method, that you tried and got the error.
So, here is want i want you to try.
> Take a Win 7 machine with a fresh OS installation.
> Follow the above article that you have properly i.e. create the application.xml.override.
> Test the xml package by running the command mentioned under step 2 using the command prompt.
Check if that works.

Photoshop Elements 12 DVD contains no setup.exe file, just setup.xml files, won't install

Newly opened boxed copy of Photoshop Elements 12 won't install on new installation of Win 8.1. Turned off virus checking (which shouldn't be necessary), Searched files on DVD, unzipping payload files, including the temporary Premier software, and there are on setup.exe files anywhere. Tried viewing XML files with browser, which readers xml. Don't have time to investigate Adobe install procedure, which appears pretty sophisticated (I've written a few years ago). Any clues?

Thanks mytaxsite. Yes, I bought it at Costco, and of course have the serial number on the box. I'm a Microsoft developer, and searched the DVD, copying the contents to a hard drive and unzipping the "payload" files. I understand folder viewing filters and found lots of setup.xml files, which I could have used, with some difficulty, to see where Adobe wanted to put things. But Adobe knows its installation procedure better than I ever will, and so tried to get tech support. I even have full Photoshop CS5 on an adjacent machine, used by my daughter, but wanted to have basic editing functionality on a machine I use for film scanning.
I never allow anything to be installed without a dialog, whether from my own or a removable storage device. The Windows loader apparently didn't detect autoloading functionality and only offered me the options of viewing files and trying to find multimedia, if I recall (which, since it was irrelevant, I didn't note precisely). I just wanted to see the files anyway, at which point I was puzzled by the lack of setup.exe. I did, as Adobe suggested, disable my virus scanning software, but not my firewall. It made no difference, and I expected none. Though I've found no legitimate software that couldn't be loaded with virus scanning enabled.
I suspect your suggestion that I download fresh software from Adobe is the correct one. It is what I expected Adobe Technical support to suggest. Having some confidence in this newish machine, with its newish, and almost unused, BluRay/DVD burner, and my care handling DVDs, I was guessing at some xml-based installation procedure that I might need to install. Few Costco customers, not in the software business would know where to look, so I'm curious about how Adobe could ship something lacking the old-fashioned setup.exe, twenty+ year old technology based on the DOS shell? On the other hand, if there are new standards for installation scripts, I would like to know what they are using.

My computer won't let me run the setup.exe file. I am an admin I've run as admin and I've downloaded many times. I just reformatted my computer and now it won't work.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

I am trying to reinstall Windows on my macbook pro. I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive. However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode."

I am trying to reinstall Windows (would not launch). I removed the partition and started over. I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive. However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode." I was successful before, what am I doing wrong this time?

Try a restart.
If that doesn't fix the problem, shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Driver setup.exe and W98 (1st Edition)

Hello,
I have just built a computer with a MS-6734 VIA KM400 M/B and all the extras and only kept the old HDD which is running W98 (1st Edition). Everthying is going fine (except a cd-rom problem I have posted about else where). The only other problem I have is that the setup.exe on the drivers disk for the M/B wont run on anything under W98se!!! How do I get around this. I managed to get the svga and sound drivers on manually as their independent setup.exe worked fine. Its the USB and LAN drivers that I still need to do.
Is there a fix for this? Is there a setup.exe that I can download that does support W98 1st edition?
If it was just me using this puter then I would just upgrade to XP but it is also used for a business and upgrading would mean retraining the other computer users and transferring all the accounting programs and files to a new HDD which is not what I had in mind!!
Thankyou in advance for any help.
Kind regards,
Mame du Bois

Hi,
Just a note to let you know problem averted....the drivers were installed manually. The individual driver setup.exe files were compatible as far back as W95 but it was the main MSI setup.exe that wasn't.
The day after the sytem was all setup the descision was made to buy a new HDD and upgrade to XP!!!!
Thanks anyway.

How to install driver without setup.exe?

Bonjour,
How do I install the lan drivers (wired and wireless) I got from the download center. There is no setup.exe file in the zip.
thanks

Do as follow:
-create one new folder on the desktop with name UNZIP
-extract all files there
-go to device manager and click on device you want to install with right mouse click > properties
-go to tab driver and click on driver update or driver installation
-follow the menu on the screen and when you will be asked to find a driver simply browse into UNZIP folder
-driver will be installed automatically, just follow menu on the screen

Setup.exe won't compete to allow driver installation
