Shockwave won't install on Vista x64?

When I try to install (both web and standalone EXE) on my
Vista x64 system, I get the error
"Could not load the DLL library
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Shockwave 10\gi.dll". The application
has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is
incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.
Any ideas how I can get around this? Odd that it's trying to
install a 32-bit app in system32 instead of the SysWOW64 directory
like it should...

Adobe doesn't care about you or your problems. Go away.
To get around this problem you would probably have to
disassemble the installer and then place the dlls into the correct
folders yourself. Adobe appears uninterested in doing anything. I'm
kind of pissed off, can you tell? On the plus side this is a great
opportunity for a competitor to take advantage of Adobe's
incompetence.

  • Toolbox won't install on Vista x64 with HP Business Inkjet 1100

    To install my HP 1100 on Vista x64, I was redirected to the only compatible driver which was for the HP 1000.  The printer works, but has lost some of it's features such as double sided printing and the Toolbox to monitor ink levels.  A search of the forums suggested installing OJProK550_Toolbox_en.exe, but after installing that I can't get it to function because it states the driver hasn't been installed.  What driver?  I'm confused since I have the functional driver for this printer installed and even reinstalled through New Drivers to be sure I had the latest.  I suspect the conflict and failure has something to do with this optional driver I had to use. 
    Can anyone offer some suggestions please?  I hate to wait until my ink cartridges are empty before finding I need one (it usually happens on a weekeng!) 
    Interestingly, I "scabbed" this printer to my laptop running XP x32 and from there I can do doublesided printing, but cannot access the toolbox either.

    Hello, have you tried using the PCL 5 UPD? In my experience, PCL 5 runs better and is not glitchy which seems what was going on before you uninstalled it. Also, how do you have the IP addresses setup for your home network?

  • ITunes won't install on Vista x64

    I've got a Vista x64 system that crashed a while ago. I've succesfully recovered all of my other programs except for itunes and quicktime. I have tried to uninstall them with a few programs and then reinstalled, but then whenever I try to run it I get a "iTunes has stopped working" message. Any advice?

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315353
    It says you need to re-register the DLL.
    All I did was google the error message you got -
    +The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.+

  • Purchased XFI extreme audio PCIe for someone and it won't install on vista 32

    The hardware isn't detected and thus cannot be installed. I had the same problem with my fatality titanium but at least there was a patch download for windows 7 so the card can be detected. No such patch exists for the extreme audio PCIe which means the card won't install under windows vista or windows 7.
    Am I missing something or what? I have read other similar complaints about this particular XFI.

    EUREKA!
    Reading the bowls of the post just below, It said to make sure shockwave was enabled. It wasn't!! I enabaled it and tried my web sites and things worked fine.
    Thanks to those that post helpful answers

  • ITunes will not work on Fresh INstall of Vista x64 SP1

    I have a strange issue. I have a Windows Vista x64 with SP1 (Yes the DVD is a production DVD from Microsoft not a slip stream copy.) and I wanted to do a fresh install of Vista with SP1. Reinstalled OS and everything is running great but iTunes. When I start iTunes I get this error message about "mssip32.dll" being damaged or corrupt please reinstall the app. So I looked around good old Google and apple.com. I found several fixes about re-registering a set of dll files. So did them all, no change. Reinstalled Vista from scratch again, no change. So for the heck of it I reinstalled Vista with no SP1 installed and then applied SP1 and it works fine. I reinstalled Vista with SP1 and have been running it for over a week and everything on the system is tested and solid as a rock with no issues. The only program that will not work is iTunes. I have also tried all the way back to version 7.4 and no luck.
    Any ideas on this?

  • ITunes 8.1 won't install on Vista after uninstall

    So I was trying to update my itunes and kept getting errors. I went on to uninstall it and reinstall which normally works. But this time around, I got some error messages and it won't install.
    When it is installing, I get this message:
    "An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\SyncServices\Schemas\iCal.syncshema\Contents\Resources\da.lproj"
    I select retry in the window and it still doesn't work so I press cancel. Then it continues and terminates the install with this message:
    "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330."
    It then proceeded to install quicktime with no problems so I'm quite puzzled on what I can do here. I just want to listen to music and my podcasts! If anyone can help me on this it would be greatly appreciated. I've looked through the forum and support things so I need some more guidance.
    Thanks,
    Peter

  • Onlocation CS3 won't install on Vista 64

    i have ppcs3. it came with encore and onlocation.
    when i try to open onlocation it tells me that the program has stopped working.
    any ideas?

    Well I have same problem. I know photoshop has never been the most user friendly bit of software but what good is it if you can't install it?
    The dialog with the progress bar appears for about 5 seconds and then absolutly nothing more. I am the laptop's admin. It had the majority of it's 320GB HD available. 4GB of memory and a very good display.
    I certainly won't be paying good money for something that won't install on a brand new machine.
    The most annoying thing about the whole thing is there isn't even an error message to indicate why the process was aborted.

  • Reader 8.1.2 won't install on Vista

    Greetings,
    I can not get 8.1.2 to install on Vista. When I run the download I get a window asking permission to continue. When I tell it to go ahead I get the little twirling circle (that replaces the old hour glass) for a few seconds then it dissappears and that's it. No popups, no message windows, no error messages, Nothing.
    I've tried inactivating the UAC, virus protection, clearing the transaction log, running as administrator on top of being in an admin account.
    The same download installed with no problems on my laptop ( which also runs Vista Home Premium ).
    At this point I've loaded 7.0 and it's running fine; at least so far.
    There have been several posts about problems after installing 8.1.2 but I have not been able to get that far.
    I'd be greatfull for any suggestions ----- and ecstatic for a solution.
    Thanks

    I regret the moment I thought that installing Adobe reader 812.I had had a blissful relationship with all previous versions and apart from the interfering busybody (ie account control) giving me dire warnings about known compatibility problems - which ive not had - all was fine ; until I tried to download and install 812.I have had the same experience as others with the processgoing smoothly.However,each time ive ried to use it sends a record up with the message "invalid plugin detected adobe willcease workining.I disabled the plug ins and still he is on strike.Indeed,On one occasion I think he must have had his militant friends round as not onlydid he refuse to work but my whole system refused to work and I ended up having to disconnect the power.I would have made him redundant but I had already sacked his predecessor.I suppose I could try to tempt him back with higher wages but the real issue is that the longer people carry on using older versiond the more likely it is that version 7 will fall in with the wrong crowd and be a likely candidate for corruption.(why did he have a copy of woodworker monthly and has been talking to fellow conspirators about wooden ponys?).You have to retain a sense of humour but to end on a serious note - if solution is not found soon I can envisage the trial seperation becoming a permanent divorce!

  • Power Manager 2.30 Won't Install on Vista on R60

    I have used System Update which tells me Power Manager is availa ble for install.  I install and its says it is successful and asks me to reboot.
    I reboot, but still now Power Manager.  If I rerun System Update, I again get told that Power Manager is available for install.  You get the idea.  Also, the first install removed my orginal Power Manager.
    I did successful install a Vista Power Manager driver.  I tried removing it and attempting again, but have only been able to install the Driver again and no Power Manager.
    Help appreciated.

    Hello,
    that´s bad, i would try a system restore, and when your system then runs satisfactionally, don´t Update!
    The new power manager seems to have trouble with starting up und some functions are deleted.
    Like showing of how much "watt" the system needs in DC mode.

  • ITunes won't install on Vista

    Hi, I'm having real trouble installing iTunes. I've been using it for years, and tried to update around Christmastime, but that failed. Ever since, the programme won't open. I uninstalled iTunes, and tried to reinstall it now, but the error message I got was...
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version=28.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fd8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x800706BE.
    I'm not a computer expert by any means, can someone explain what's happening? I'm sick of Spotify to listen to music on my computer, and having an unupdated phone!
    If it helps, I have the other error message from a while back saved, but let me know if you need it..
    Thank you.

    I too have Vista, the evil entity, and not only can I not re-install itunes, but it has also disabled my 3 month old iphone and does not recognize the usb hook up, please tell me that there is a resolution for this. Mine all started with just trying to manage some files on my iphone through my pc, like I have done before without any problems. I received a message asking me to perform an update, I stupidly clicked ok, this is when my trouble began. The update failed and it then requested that I restore, stupidly again I did, and received this message:
    "The iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred 1603" I then noticed that my screen on my iphone was in a frozen state and had a picture of the usb cord with an arrow pointing to the itunes icon on it. (the phone was never disconnected during updating, so it was not user error) I attempted again, it requested a connection and diagnostics check, both passed without any problems. I tried again, yes gluten for punishment, and same occurrences but received an error log. I called Apple and they ran me through different rebooting methods both with the phone itself and my pc, nothing worked. Then tech then had me uninstall apple itunes and quicktime programs and associated files and try re-installing, this again did not work and now I have nothing. Apple is stating that it is a windows problem, which with Vista, I would not doubt!
    And here are some of the other error messages I have received:
    that it cannot complete download because of "unknown publisher" and doesn't have "valid digital signature"
    in Re to the "apple synch notifier ": "this application has failed to start because a CoreFoundation.dll was not found, please try re-installing" (no disc ever provided, so I can't do that)
    In Re to the driver: Apple needs to reinstall driver software for your apple mobile device, with one of the choices being locate driver software...windows will lead you through process or please insert disc (again no disc provided, cannot comply and it cannot locate on web when attempted)
    If anyone can help with this I would greatly appreciate it. I am just a general user and have spent countless hours yesterday and today trying to resolve this.
    you can email me privately too at [email protected] with any help or suggestions. Thanx again!

  • Shockwave Won't Install (Windows 8, PC, Google Chrome)

    Hello,
    I am on a PC running Windows 8. My browser is Google Chrome. I am trying to install the newest shockwave player, and I have downloaded the installer multiple times, and the installation window finished loading and then only gave me the option to close the window, so I thought it was done. I've restarted my computer several times, and tried to uninstall shockwave. When I first was attempting to install it, even before uninstalling my previous version, the shockwave checker said that I had no version of shockwave installed at all, which I don't think was true because now I can run fewer things than I could before using the uninstallation wizard. So now I've uninstalled whatever version I had (I think), and tried to install the new version multiple times and the shockwave checker still says that shockwave is either not installed or disabled on my machine.
    I have gone to the chrome plugins page and even after supposedly uninstalling everything and restarting my computer, it still lists:
    Adobe Flash Player - Version: 17.0.0.169
    Shockwave Flash 17.0 r0
    I have this plugin enabled still, so shockwave being disabled shouldn't be the issue.
    I have also tried to keep running everything in desktop mode my hitting the windows key+D, so that shouldn’t be the problem either.
    When I go to the page that allows you to click on the download button for Shockwave, I do get something called "Shockwave_Installer_Slim" to start downloading. When I click on it, the installation window I mentioned above just runs, the bar finishes loading, and then all it does is gives me an option to close the window. Nothing actually happens. I have about 5 copies of that same file on my computer from trying to download it multiple times. From the page where you can clock the button to install shockwave, after I click next to get to page 3/3, I feel like something isn't loading right because I only get a mostly-blank screen with "Thank you, here is another product that might interest you:" at the top, but no graphics - just grey. (Link below)
    Adobe - Adobe Shockwave Player
    How can I fix this? I just want shockwave installed and enabled on my computer. I do think it is downloaded, but it's not working because when I go to my control panel, it gives me the option to uninstall shockwave 12.1, but all the shockwave checkers still say that my stuff isn't installed/enabled.

    On chrome, nothing runs (ignore the stuff in the top right corner, that's what i used to take the screenshot):
    On IE, something used to show up, but after using the flash player uninstaller I'm not getting anything, so now I just see this:
    I could be confusing the two, I don't really know. If it helps at all, When I got to the "Test your Adobe Flash Player Installation" link on the welcome page window, it says "You have version 17,0,0,169 installed" when I'm in chrome, but it says "You have version 11,3,372,94 installed" when I'm in IE. Also, when I click on the "Test your Adobe Flash Player Installation" link (Adobe - Flash Player) in Chrome, I see no animation at the top of the screen. However, when I do the same in IE, there is an animation at first which then changes to an advertisement (screenshot of the animation playing in IE is included below). The fact that any version is installed at all is really confusing to me, because I thought I uninstalled everything, and when I go into the control panel under Programs>Uninstall a Program, there isn't anything with Adobe, Shockwave, Macromedia, or Flash Player in the name.
    Also, the reason I'm trying to download it is because when my niece tries to play one of her games, she is getting this message:
    ERROR : You don't have the latest Shockwave x plugin.
    You can download the plugin here:
    http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download
    Upon successful installation, please restart your computer, reload this game, and enjoy! Contact the customer support of www.macromedia.com for any issues with upgrading this plugin.

  • Vista 32bit driver won't install on Vista 32bit, but older XP driver wil

    So I keep getting this error,
    http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/p234/Spoudazo/Xfi_Vistaissue.jpg
    It's weird, as I can install older drivers in Vista, just not Vista drivers. Oh the irony!
    Any ideas?
    I don't have the driver for the onboard sound installed, so that's not an issue.
    Currently using WinXP 32bit driver, but in order to us ALchemy I need newer drivers.
    Here's a screecap of dxdiag (Run > Dxdiag)
    http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/p234/Spoudazo/dxdiag-2.jpg

    Well, I found a link on hardforum.com that actually worked.
    Please have someone cleanup the UI on your website. :P ?

  • Flash Catalyst Won't Install - Windows Vista

    Hi,
    I'm currently in a Catalyst/ Adobe Flash Workshop and Catalyst will not install on my computer.
    I have:
    No previous versions on my computer
    No Log files were created
    rebooted several times
    Disabled Anti-Virus and Spyware
    installed Adobe Flash Builder with no problems
    tried installing from the cd, changed to a different cd and attempted to download directly from the Adobe website.
    I am attaching a screenshot of the error.
    after receiving this error it takes me to the screen to give Windows feedback.
    I am using Windows Vista Ultimate.
    Please help!

    What I meant is
    when you try to download Flash Catalyst it begins to download in order to subsequently install.
    When it gets to the end of downloading onto the system to then subsequently install so that the application can then run it suddenly stops and gives me the Bootstrapper error.
    I apologize but I am no longer in the Workshop - me nor the tech team could never get it to install.
