Shockwave installer fails at or after Execute: C:\Windows\system32\Adobe\Director\SwDnld.exe /regserver

Windows 7 32bit Firefox browser.
The file and folder exists.
I have administrator privileges.
I tried both the full and slim installer regular and as administrator.
I use Microsoft security essentials and windows firewall. I tried turning off both for installation.
I does not crash officially, in other words Windows doesn't tell me it's no longer responding. I basically sits and waits for something to happen.
Installed it on another machine and it's basically where it brings up the pop-up for Chrome. I'm not getting the pop-up.
What is the installer asking of windows at that point that it isn't getting?

Nevermind. While the installer does not finish, the plugin is installed in firefox and it works.

Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe reader installation error. null. tried using adobe cleaning tool. using XP sp3. seems that adobe 11 is not completely uninstalling. this is because when adobe reader 11 is removed from add/remove program. when pc is rebooted, adobe reader 11 entry comes back but it is like false entry as no size given. please help to succesfully install Adobe Reader 11. also tried:
1. uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled 2. installed from different locations 3. removed adobe key from
local machine and tried to install

Seriously, I do not understand what is going on - I have never seen this before!
The MSI installers are usually used in corporate environments to roll out installs on multiple machines. However, you can use it like a normal (EXE) installer; it will just go through fewer steps than the EXE. Not sure if it will improve the situation, but it's worth a try.
Another thing to try is to uninstall these remaining entries using Microsoft Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall - also no guarantee, but also worth trying.

Receiving the error Installation Failed when installing After Effects

I tried several times to download AE both through a trial of Creative Cloud and the "Download Now" button under the product. One time the download got to 99% and then abruptly quit. I'm on a Mac using OS 10.6. I have used PS, Illustrator and Indesign rather heavily for several years but have never tried AE. I wanted to try it and also the Creative Cloud at the same time.
It doesn't look very promising to me. Hope you get yours working.

I have branched this out to a new discussion. I would recommend you start with downloading and attempting the installation of the trial of After Effects. You can locate the trial at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=after_effects. If you are able to successfully install the software then please choose the option to License this Software after it is installed as a trial. You will then want to enter your Adobe ID tied to your Creative Cloud subscription.
If you continue to experience difficulties then you will want to utilize the Adobe Support Advisor - http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/ to automatically review your installation logs. Alternatly, or if you do not receive an actionable result, you may want to review the installation logs manually to determine the source of your difficulties. You can locate steps on how to accomplish this at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

Persistent USB Arch installation fails to boot after first shut down

Hey all,
I've recently installed Arch on a 32-GB USB flash drive (with the help of the wiki, of course). I have some experience installing arch on my computers, so the process went relatively smoothly. As some background info, I AM using UUIDs in both the bootloader and the fstab file, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Anyways, the problem itself: I have arch installed and ready to go, and it boots up fine (the first time). The thing is, after I shut down, if I try to boot the USB drive again, it simply hangs there-- no boot. What's weirder is not only does it not boot, but it also freezes the host computer at that point in the boot cycle. I mean, everything will be frozen up at the startup BIOS/splash whatever screen when the USB key is in, but once I take it out the computer will boot up regularly. It's really strange.
If I reinstall the bootloader on the USB drive then everything works again (that is, until I reboot).
Is the bootloader somehow getting corrupted while shutting down? I have tried using both GRUB and SYSLINUX (not at the same time of course) but they both behave the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time,
Ushahin

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … nvironment
Here you need to set the right hooks if the root is on a USB drive, if you use RAID, LVM, or if /usr is on a separate partition.
Did you remember to do this?
If not, mount the partition(s) starting with the root partition first, chroot into it, edit that file and re-generate the initramfs. Then reboot with the reboot command, don't forcefully shut it down using the power button or something like that.
It could also be a BIOS issue. Restore its defaults, set "Removable Dev." first, "CD-ROM" second (if you have an optical drive), "Internal Storage" third. Then select the USB stick as the first to boot in the boot priority screen.

Exchange 2010 SP3 Installation Failed. - Error While Locating Source (Windows Installer)

Hey Guys,
Urgent question here: I was trying to install SP3 for Exchange 2010. Unfortunately it failed on the install (all pre-requisites checked and passed). The problem: Windows Installer couldn't find a the exchangeserver.msi file. This happened immediately
after setup stopped the services.
I tried re-downloading the service pack and reinstalling, I got the same error. Anytime I selected the file using browse it failed and re-prompted me.
Error:
"click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "exchangeserver.msi" in the box below"
So here is what I did:
1) I reset all the services to automatic (the same way as before)
2) Rebooted the server
3) All Service started
4) DAG replication is working
I am going to work on figuring out how to fix the issue, however will this be a problem? will there be any data corruption? am I safe to let the server sit until I can open a ticket (if needed) ?
Thanks,
Robert
Robert

Hi,
Thank you for your question.
In order to resolve it, we could click the Browse button in the dialog box, locate the ExchangeServer.msi file, and then click OK
to continue the installation. The ExchangeServer.msi file is located on the Exchange Server 2010 installation media。
There are a referred link for us:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2888399
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Project Professional 2013 Installations Fails with Office 2010 installed on Windows 7 x86

When attempting to install Project Professional 2013 Pro (x86) on Windows Professional x86 PC that has Office 2010 ProSp2 installed client getting an error message at the end of the installation "Project 2013 has encountered an error during setup".
I have gotten the installer to work on x64 PC with Office 2010 installed. (Something worth noting that even thought I set the reboot to prompt its automatically reboots without warning but, appears to be working.) I also tried using the OTC, custom XML
file and just running setup.exe and get the error no matter what. When looking in the logs I there are MSI installer error with an error: Product:
Microsoft Project Professional 2013 - Update '{A6FFA77F-C1C1-43D3-A2C7-6A5B68138D9F}' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Windows Installer can create logs to help troubleshoot issues with installing software packages. Use the following link for
instructions on turning on logging support: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=23127
Without having to uninstall Office 2010 what do I need to modify in the installer to get it to Project 2013 Pro to install on the x86 machine?
Thanks

Hi,
Your environment will support 32 bit of Project professional 2013 (x86) as you have Windows and Office of (X86).
You try to modify registry then you wont face issue.
The issue when you hit a "1653" is that Windows
Installer "DisableRollback" is set. Office 2013 requires that "rollback" be enabled. If you are getting a "1653"
error in your logs as Ken did then the solution is to delete the "DisableRollback" (or set to '0') at the following registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
these are the issues I've seen:
Scheduler service was stopped. At a cmd window typing "net start schedule" resolves the problem.
CMD.exe was customized via the following registry key. Solution was to temporarily disable the customization by changing autorun value to autorun_old.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Command Processor
Permission issues - seems some custom permissions affected Ingram's install which he explained in his previous post.
Environment variable "ComSpec" had been modified (semicolon added). Fix was to remove the added semicolon (there should be no semicolon).
The way to identify you are hitting this specific issue is if in the %temp%\OfficeSetup.log there is a mention of "Office64MUI.msi" failing to install with return value of 1603
If you want to enable verbose logging via the following key, rerun your failed install, and collect all the setup and MSI* logs that will give more information.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"logging"= "voicewarmup"

Installation fails Photoshop CS6 Public beta 64bit windows 7

I tried to install the windows version of Photoshop CS6 Public Beta, the 64bit version failed to install said that it failed to locate folder tokens. I uninstalled it and restart my computer. I tried to reinstall but I still get the same error.
What I have tried, was turn off all none windows services incase there were conflicts, and truned of my virus checker(norton contant guard). I've also tried to created another admin account incase there were some corrupt certificates or permissions. Nothing has worked for me.
I'm running on a upgrade version of Windows 7 Ultimate (originally on home premium) on a HP Pavilion Elite e9180f.

Thanks for your response. I only find one folder in the Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers folder. It is AdobeInDesign7xIconHandler64 and the file is mod-mul.key so probably doesn't apply.
The Error Log (I've included two for each attempt) is below:

Silent installation fails registering gwab1.ocx file on W7

Silent installation is failing for GroupWise Windows Client 8.0.3 HP2 and HP3 on Windows 7 Sp1.
Problem is very similiar to KB7005755
Support | Silent installation fails registering gwab1.ocx file on Windows 7.
C++ 10 is already installed
I also installed C++ 2005 (version that comes with GroupWise Client)
Install occuring in the following order

groupwise.msi
msiexec /i groupwise.msi transform=groupwiseNONotify.mst /passive /L*V c:\gw.log

Experiencing same problem whether I run with batch file or ZCM 11.2

Transform created using GroupWise 8 Tuner.
Install rolls back after putting GroupWise icon on desktop.
Below is an extraction from the verbose msi log:

I tried the following:
-Rename WMS.exe to WMS.exe.old to make sure it will not get installed.
-Create an application for CDO and put that application as a pre requisite for Groupwise.
In my task sequence, before groupwise is being installed, the CDO component will get installed first.
In my latest test, the installation of groupwise failed with the same error message then before.
For the installation step, I am using this command line: "WIN32\setup.exe" /s /V"/qn /le C:\Groupwise.log"
The task sequence will download the files into is cache then start the install appending the path to the exe file to the command line. All the files are present in the cache folder.
The VCRedist 2005 is installed prior to the installation by another software but I did made some test that let Groupwise installed is own VCRedist. Still an error message.
The exact error message is: Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\Groupwise\gwab1.ocx failed to register. HRESULT -2147010895. Contact your support personnel.
I am deploying Groupwise during a task sequence on Windows 7 SP1 with IE9 and .Net 4.0 installed with some update. At the moment groupwise is installed as the second software.
The version being installed is gw8.0.3HP3_client_win_multi.
When installing the previous version, using the same exact task sequence, there is no error and the installation is done.
I did validate that the Windows NT Messaging was not installed.
If I can provide any othe information please let me know.

CS5.5 Design Premium: installer failed to initialize

Ok, I'm having this problem. This started because I had to perform a system restore. I ended having to go back so far with the system restore that all of my Adobe Products(among others) no longer appeared to be installed.
So I downloaded Adobe CS5.5 Design premium from a link mentioned elsewhere in the discussions. Everything extracts fine, but when I execute the installer it always prompts "installer failed to initialize". I have downloaded the Adobe support advisor. It shows multiple:
cpsid_82829s1: "A restart is pending," bootstrapper error has occurred.
Click here for details and corrective actions related to this issue.
I have clicked the links(http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-error-messages-bootstrapper-cs5.html) below and followed the instructions. There is no "InProgress" Entry in the registry in the locations provided. I have also ran the "Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool " Multiple times and have removed ALL. I have deleted every directory on this computer that says Adobe.
This is a clients computer and we REALLY don't want to wipe and reload(Money/time and all that). Can anyone help me with this error?

System restore is a first resort for most people when there is a problem in Windows. Obviously it wasn't a hit in this situation. I know a wipe and reload would fix it. If you read my post you'd see I'm trying to avoid that. If you have any information that can help me there I would love to know it.

                    installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer
                                                                                        for assistance.
I've looked around the support forums doing all the suggested fixes, I have so far : deleted the Java folder from the System > Library folder,
                                                                                                                          verified the disk permissions then repaired them if any errors where found.
I also improvised and downloaded a torrent of iLife 11 (not to intendedly use but to test to see if there was a problem with the disk) and then when I ran it I got the exact same message!! So the problem is not with the actual iLife / Bundled Software disk!!
Please help as I really require the programmes such as iMovie and Garageband for what I do...all help is welcomed and will be praised and below you can find a picture of the error screen! Thank you!!

I'm dealing with the same issue and I am afraid I anyway might be out of luck.
When you get the Installation Failed notice, look carefully at that window - in the upper righthand corner, there's a nondescript little symbol - I cant tell what it's supposed to be, but when I clicked on it, that brought up a notice saying that the software certificate "issued by: Apple Software Update Certification Authority"... "expired: Friday, March 23, 2012 12:26:07 PN CT".
The window has a lot of text in it, but will not allow the text to be selected, copied, dragged elsewhere or saved/ Scrolling down about a third of the way into it, there's two lines of interest -
"Not Valid Before -   Friday, March 23, 2007 12:26:07 PN CT".
"Not Valid After    -   Friday, March 23, 2012 12:26:07 PN CT".
So basically it looks like Apple locks it out after five years... funny, because this is supposed to be iLife 2011, which makes it one year old, not five years. I bought it a year ago, not five years ago, as a add-on for my children.
The text box also has these two websites for further information -
CPS URI - http://www.apple.com/appleca/
and
URI - http://www.apple.com/appleca/swupdate.crl

So it looks as if I can no longer use this product.
By the way, I wondered if the installer gets on the internet with Apple during the installation to confirm eligibility or something, so I tried installing again with the internet offline. Same result - installation failed.
I will be very unhappy with Apple if it is really the case that this program lasted us less than one year. I had to reformat this Mac because of some system-level corruption my young son caused, and I should not have to repurchase iLife because it is one year old. Let's see what happens...

Detection logic for Shockwave Installations

We'd like to deploy the latest Shockwave update but are stumped on what the best detection logic is. Is there a registry key to look for under HKCU or HKLM? I read that you used to be able to use swdir.dll to pinpoint the current version installed. Also, what to do about the Macromedia installed versions versus the Adobe versions?

I don't know what type of OS or script you are using.. But there is a file or registry on the system that is named after the installed version of Shockwave.
I'll start with File First:
If you have x64 bit OS.. the path would be:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Adobe\Shockwave 12
32 Bit OS:
C:\Windows\System32\Adobe\Shockwave 12?? (not too sure, dont have any 32 bit os to test)
the file in question is SWHelper_1207148.exe
The 1207148 is the version number:
12.0.7.148 (latest)
So if you have
SwHelper_1204144.exe ( Version 12.0.4.144 )
its outdated.. or if you dont have that file period its outdated or not installed.
Now For Registry:
on a 32 bit OS you would look inside:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall\
on a 64 bit OS you would look inside:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\wow6432Node\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall\
Inside there you should be able to find the shockwave GUID (usually looks like {NUMBER AND DASHES AND LETTERS} ) and inside of each, it should tell you what the program is and the version..
For this software, with the most recent version at time of writing (12.0.7.148) the GUID is:
{AA3B06B1-E89A-43C6-A26B-7109DB4BEE7B}
If you look inside you will see DisplayVersion = 12.0.7.148
So you can use that to your advantage as a check.
And personally, you can use both file and reg check for installs, I know I do.
so you would need to do a reg query to see what the version is, and with that, install or don't
