Solaris installation won't start

I wanted to install Solaris 8 on my PC. When trying to boot from the Solaris bootable CD, it says "Not a UFS file system" and the installation aborts. I was using a clean Hard disk (Seagate - 10GB) without any partitions on it. How to get over this problem? Please help me.

i have installed windows on it before and then i removed it. I tried to install it again but permissions wasn't letting me so i refreshed my mac and now its going all dodgy on me
There's a lot of missing information here!
1) How did you remove it?
2) What do you mean by "permissions wasn't letting me"?
3) How did you "refresh" your Mac? Did you reinstall OS X through Erase & Install?
4) In what way(s) is it being "dodgy"?

Plugin installer won't start.

I got an applet which when loaded on systems without the version 1.5 of the pluging it will prompt the user to download the latest version. It works find in 18 out of 20 computers. The last 2 are laptops and the installer won't start and the applet won't appear.
Anyone know why?

Tim,
I encountered the same problem. Are you installing on a server with
a Pentium 4? If so, the problem is with the Pentium 4.
I found the workaround posted on Intel's website. Check this url:
http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/9011824413236561-prd24.htm
The work around is that the Oracle installer uses a program called symcjit.dll and this program does not properly function on a Pentium 4. Here is Intel's workaround:
If you are installing into Windows* 2000, one workaround recommendation by Oracle for this problem is:
1. Be sure that you have installed the latest Windows 2000 Service Packs.
2. Create a temporary directory on your Intel Pentium4 processor server (e.g. \TEMP).
3. Copy the contents of the Oracle Server CD to the temp directory created in step 2.
4. Search the directory structure created in step 2 for the existence of the filename SYMCJIT.DLL.
5. Rename each copy of the SYMCJIT.DLL to SYMCJIT.OLD.
6. Run the SETUP.EXE from the \TEMP\install\win32 directory and install Oracle 8.1.x.
I hope this helps

Mozilla on Solaris 10 won't start...

Adobe Flash 16 Installation Won't Start at All

I am unable to install Adobe Flash onto a Win 7 computer, 64 bit. I downloaded install_flashplayer16x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe and tried to execute it. It is listed in the Task Manager; but, nothing happens. It does not even begin to run the installation wizard. I tried to install it in Safe Mode. I ran it as administrator. I ran it without any browsers running. I got the same result in every case. It just shows in Task Manager and nothing else happens.
I installed and ran the latest version of MicrosoftFixit. I ran it a few times, selecting the option for trouble with installing a program in some cases and uninstalling a program in other cases. In every case, the list of programs found does not include Adobe Flash, Shockwave Flash, or Flash.
Between Fixit and Adobe's tool to detect if the program is installed, neither provided evidence that it was already installed; so, it doesn't appear to be an issue with remnants of a previously installed version that didn't get uninstalled correctly.
The file name suggests this is for a 32 bit version of the program. Should a 64 bit version of the program have been downloaded? I didn't have an option to select a 32 vs 64 bit program. The web site indicated that it knew the computer is running a 64 bit version of Windows 7; but, the install button still downloaded this file.
Any assistance you can provide will be appreciated.

Same issue here. Got pop up alert that needed to update Flash which had been fine. Tried both run/automatic install in IE11 and downloaded the same offline file as you. The installer window pops up but nothing ever starts. Was able to install successfully on 4 other computers all running Win7 Ultimate and no difference with this one. Been following other leads and have deleted all old Adobe flash and Macromedia files/folders and pretty much scrubbed all evidence that flash was not on here, Have run Malware, Spyware and AV software so the system is all clean, and this is still all I get.
Task manager does show it there also, but after it gets to this far, it does not process anymore
When I get tired of waiting on it, since it won't close by the red "X", I have to end it via Task Manager, and then it takes me to a non-existent web page { http://www.{completionpageurl}.com/?exitcode=-1 }.
Flash has been working great on this PC a couple years and updated regularly, so have no clue to issue now.

Desktop Software installation won't start

I downloaded version 4.7 Desktop Software w/o media manager for XP SP3. When I run it, it extracts the file, and the installshield starts up in the lower-right corner of the screen. When it gets to 100%, it disappears... and then nothing else happens. No installation screen comes up. There aren't even any processes running related to the installation.
I also tried opening the self-extracting executable in Winzip and manually extracting it to a separate folder. I ran "BlackBerrySetup.exe", and exactly the same thing happened.
I tried downloading the Desktop Manager software from Verizon, as well, with the exact same results. (I'm not sure which variation of v4.7 this was, but it was over 300 MB.)
Anyone have any idea of what's going on here? Thanks for your help!
EDIT: I tried disabling McAfee VirusScan, too, to see if that was conflicting, but it didn't make any difference.
Message Edited by bdr127 on 02-24-2009 12:24 PM

I've got the exact same problem... :'( I had to flash my phone, and subsequently got an upgrade I'd been longing for... to 6.0. When I upgraded my desktop software to match my new phone upgrade, the software on my laptop JUST WOULDNT start!! The screen stays white. I've tried reinstalling from - the internet, and from -the cd, but it stays the same. I decided to try a different approach, and connected the phone to my laptop, and now I cannot find my BBMessenger app, or my APPWorld button. If I could find AppWorld, I'd probably just re-download BBM, but now they're both gone! ...What do I do? Go back to version 5 on both counts? Does that imply I'd have to flash my phone again? Just so *frustrated!!

Itunes installer won't start

Itunes 64bit installer wont start on my Windows vista/7 64 bit computers.
You double click and nothing happens. You right click and run as administrator nothing happens.
I've tried formatting the machines and re downloading it from apple.com and still nothing happens.
Anyone else having problems?

You double click and nothing happens. You right click and run as administrator nothing happens.
I've tried formatting the machines and re downloading it from apple.com and still nothing happens.
This one can be caused by the installer getting damaged on the download.
What browser are you using for the download? Does it make any difference in the performance of the installer if you user Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa)?

Corrupted 10g - Universal Installer won't Start - what do I do now?

Its a sorry tale!
Installed 10g - no problems, went fine.
Developed OCCI app against 10g. Set up test DB eventually getting some good results!
Realize I need 9i compatibility. Installed 9i client.
BIG MISTAKE - I think I installed in same home as 10g.
Now nothing works! Have even tried recovering PC to earlier checkpoint. Oracle still wont start.
Not even the UI will start!
What I would like to do is a COMPLETE and clean removal of 10g and start again!
I would be very grateful for any advice.
Many thanks.

Success!
I did a full uninstall and followed the clean up advice.
I re-insatlled and rebuilt my DB.
My OCCI application is now back under development!
But, just out of curiosity....why does the Oracle uninstall not provide an option to clean up and remove everything?
Thanks for your help and advice.

Itunes 7 installer won't start

Hi guys, i downloaded all versions of itunes 7+ and they never could install. once i clicked on the install icon, the timehour icon loads like its about to begin but then suddenly stops and nothing else happens. My itunes 6 that came with the ipod cd worked fine. Anyone that can help ???!!!
I'm running xp SP2

I have a similar machine. iTunes upgraded fine, looks great.
But nothing happens when I try to start a song playing. No crash or lock up, the song just doesn't play.
I too wonder it if is something to do with this model.
Does this suggest they don't even bother to test software on models more than a year or two old? I don't mind beta testing if someone tells me that's what I have been given.

Captivate 7 Installer Won't Start

The installation files have downloaded on the computer's hard drive without problem. The Akami (?) Download Manager does not open the bundle and run the installer. When I double click on the installer's executable file, a window that appears to be dosbox appears that has a blinking cursor inside and nothing else happens, no matter how long I leave the computer.
The computer is running Windows 7. It is on the company network, but the installer has been downloaded to the c: drive. I don't have administrator priviledges (maybe this is problem? But I thought an error message would have appeared if this was the case), but I did manage to use the download manager - which, according to the company IT policy, should not have worked...
Has any one got any suggestions on how I can proceed? I have no idea what is happening.

it allowed the 7z file?
if yes, i've renamed the zip to a 7z so you can download: http://www.kglad.com/Files/Captivate_7_LS21.7z
then rename to a zip, unzip and proceed with installation.

Installation won't start HELP ME

I'm trying to upgrade from an imac flat panel G4
I've got the osx disc and it reads just fine... i double click the install icon and it asks me to restart.... it restarts,,,,,,,, nothing happens.... PLZ HELP!!

Hi /\G3nt42,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
Unfortunately you do not give us any information about your system. Please fill in your computer details in "My Settings" in the right sidebar of this page. We need to now as much as possible about your system (Exact Mac type, processor type, MHz, RAM, current system version, etc.) in order to help! Whether your computer is compatible with Tiger at all depends on that information: Tiger system requirements.
Then make sure you have the retail full install version of Tiger (black DVD). You cannot use hardware specific disks that shipped with another computer (gray).
In order to upgrade from 10.1.x to 10.4.x you will have to either reformat the drive (recommended) or do an Erase&Install. You CANNOT upgrade directly. In both cases all your data will be lost!!! I suggest to reformat the drive using the OS 9 install CDs. By reformatting the drive with the OS 9 disk you are safe that all required OS 9 hardware drivers will be installed properly. Make sure you format as Apple Extended (HFS+)!
Update OS 9 to 9.2.2: Mac OS 9: Available Updates.
Now insert the Tiger install DVD and reboot while holding down the c-key. Install Tiger. After the reboot Repair permissions!
Download and apply the Mac OS X Update 10.4.7 Combo PPC.
Repair permissions again and finally run Software Update from the Apple menu to install all remaining updates (yes, you should install all at once because only the software update app knows the exact order in which they have to be installed).
Good luck!
If this answered your question please consider granting some stars: Why reward points?

[SOLVED]Installation won't start

Greetings everyone,
I tried to install Arch today and i got the following error message when the PC tried to boot from the CD-ROM drive:
isolinux: Disk error 80, AX = 420F, drive 9F
Boot failed: press any key to retry...
I retried a couple times but it wouldn't go past this stage.
Any suggestions?
My PC has Pentium 4 @ 2.4GHZ, 1GB RAM DDR1, 60GB HDD and a DVD drive which I used to boot from.
Thanks in advance for your time!

i'm installing it on HP 8100 Convertiable Mini-tower.
Windows loading files and then when the windows icon shows up it just restart the computer, and it enter an endless boot loop.
