[Solved] KDE won't install

I am installing ArchLinux for the first time, I am using an old Acer latop. I downloaded the base CD and then followed the instruction from the Wiki and got through to the end with a working X system. I wanted to install KDE so I entered the following at the command line
pacman -S kde
(as root)
This gave me over 250 files to download and install so I just let the laptop get on with downloading and installing the files. Unfortunately it failed to install kde (it did not even try, I assume because of some form of dependency) as It failed to download 9 files. The 9 files are
libpulse-0.9.23-1-i686.pkg
pango-1.28.4-3-i686.pkg
upower-0.9.12-1-i686.pkg
libcanberra-0.28-1-i686.pkg
libffi-3.0.010-1-i686.pkg
telepathy-glib-0.15.4-1-i686.pkg
pygobject2-devel-2.28.6-1-i686.pkg
python2-gobject2-2.28.6-1-i686.pkg
(I have left off the .tar.xz from each file name)
The system tried to download load the file 6 time from different repositories and the failing message was either Unknown resolver or file not found.
Can anybody please advise
Tim

You should use the website package search to check the versions e.g. http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort … =&limit=50
These packages you can't find have been updated recently and you need to update your local package database to make pacman aware of the changes. Run 'pacman -Syu' and try again.
If you need a fresh mirrorlist, use http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/

[SOLVED] KDE won't start

I've just installed Arch... again. I decided to go for KDE this time. I installed kde-meta-kdebase, have graphics drivers (xf86-video-intel) and everything. When I've try to run it by startx ("exec startkde" in my .xinitrc, copied from /etc/skel - everything done like always), the process ends after short blink of the screen. No error output now but before reboot it prompted "startkde: no such file or directory" - now no error message but it won't run anyway... there is /usr/lib/kde on my system but when I go
# systemctl enable kdm.service
- again: no such file or directory... it's like it's not installed the right way but pacman sees it. It was the same yesterday and I thought I just forgot about something so today I went step-by-step with Beginner's Guide... and still nothing. Only thing that is different from the usual system is zsh. Test xorg DE starts fine.

I had kde-meta-kdebase installed but now I see that
sms-linux% sudo pacman -S kdebase
[sudo] password for root:
:: There are 11 members in group kdebase:
:: Repository extra
1) kde-wallpapers 2) kdebase-dolphin 3) kdebase-kdepasswd
4) kdebase-kdialog 5) kdebase-keditbookmarks 6) kdebase-kfind
7) kdebase-konq-plugins 8) kdebase-konqueror 9) kdebase-konsole
10) kdebase-kwrite 11) kdebase-plasma
Enter a selection (default=all):
it's not there by default. Is it a mistake by packager that it wasn't pulled by any of the packages and it's not listed there too? "Minimal install" section of Arch Wiki article about KDE is now invalid and it wasn't like that before... I just went here to type that "I don't know why but after installing some other kde packages, the problem dissapeared" - now I know why, thanks! :-)

I discovered problem. It's caused by NetworkManager after last update (libsystemd.0.so trouble).
Recompile pkg by yourself to get working NetworkManager.

Firefox running under Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) 12 (KDE) won't install extensions for Firefox

Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) 12, KDE desktop
Firefox 10.0
Started up Firefox right after Mint was installed. On the add-ons page video download helper was shown as a featured extension and I installed it, then rebooted when prompted. After that, Firefox would never install another extension again. Just gives download error.
I google searched and in a forum I found a post about uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. I tried it. First time I started it up, it installed video download helper again, but then would not install any other extension after that. I tried numerous extensions I '''KNOW''' are working in Firefox 10.0 because they are working in Firefox over on my Win 7. Everytime I get a download error, either from the addons site or from the Add-ons Manager in Firefox.
Someone told me on the Mint forums that I needed to add a subdirectory on a certain directory, so I did that. Didn't work.
It seems Ubuntu disables the root, or cripples it, and I guess Mint does too. You can still use sudo when doing things in Ubuntu (and Mint I would assume, since it's based on Ubuntu) but you can't get true 'superuser' access as I understand it. But, I don't think this would have any bearing on the problem, or my search of the Mint forums would have come up with all kinds of threads screaming about this.

Problem solved - it was caused by an add-on called "PDF Download 3.0.0.2)
To fix - in Firefox :
Click on '''Tools''' command (top of screen)
Select '''Extensions'''
click on "'''disable''' button beside '''PDF Download'''
Close Firefox and restart it.
Clicking on any pdf file should open a new tab now and the document will appear there.

[SOLVED] KDE won't automount USB and optical devices

After a recent update KDE stopped being willing to automount e.g. USB devices such as sticks, HDs, cameras, GPS etc.
My ArchLinux is updated today and is thus on kernel 3.6.6, My wife's ArchLinux, which is still on kernel 3.5.5, has no problems automounting, so it must be due to a recent change, but which?
When I insert e.g. a USB stick, I get the 'Available Devices' popup, but when I select 'Open with File Manager' I get the following message at the bottom of the popup: 'Could not mount the following device: xxxxx' followed by 'An unspecified error has occurred.: Not Authorized'
I'm still on sysvinit but would like to switch to systemd, because I have the haunch that switching to systemd would cure the problem. So far my attempts to switch to systemd has failed (see my woes in this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1193076
I have tried to install 'udiskie' but that did not help.
I could give many more details but which? I'll supply any information required as we go.
Any help and/or pointer will be much appreciated.

I had an issue like this during an update several months ago. Reflector was the problem package and the existing files were owned by reflector. I think it's worth mentioning since reflector is also a python package. Anyway, iirc I simply removed and reinstalled reflector.
Unfortunately, it won't be so easy for you since pyastpi is part of a dep-chain leading to gnome-shell... looks like you're going to have to figure out how to do it the right way

Issue Solved: Itunes won't install on windows

Hey all, I have a windows computer running windows 7 and have been unable to install itunes on it. I tried all of the help site tips on the apple site and they didnt help. I had an error message 7 (windows error 193).
They said this was an issue with the dynamic link library (.dll) the solution fixed my itunes issue but they told me it may interfere with another program (but that hasn't happened yet and it's an easy fix if it does)
1. Go to your C: drive under "My computer"
2. select the "System 32" file.
3. find the "msvcr100.dll" item: it was a ways down but you need this exact one.
4. when you find it- click and drag it to your desk top.
5. a warning will pop up- ignore it.
6. itunes fixed!
if you run into problems with another prgram now, just put this "msvcr100.dll" back in the system 32 file. Apparently it's just an old .dll from windows that hasn't been fixed.
Thanks all!

Oh yeah - that sound of marbles, that's my brain dropping on the floor from the loss of marbles after re-install # 13 and 14. Here's some more error messages. Please - Apple tech folks - get out of your Porsche Panameras and please fix this!

[SOLVED] KDE won't start after Xorg update(nvidia driver)

After update, I disabled hotplug, with :
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
kdm starts normally, i can write login/password, i see kde boot splash, then desktop shows and after about 10 secs it is killed and goes back to login screen.
I think the problem is with hal, because (Xorg.0.log):

Well, I rebuilded my xorg.conf with
Xorg -configure
and it started working, even with evdev driver, just had to add
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
in section "ServerFlags". I'm not really sure what caused that error.

Thanks. I always thought this was enabled by default and maybe something was off. Guess not.

Hold c and reboot off the 10.6 disk, run the installer.
If the machine your upgrading is the 2006, I'd highly advise you stay on 10.6.8
It's a 5 year old machine, you're in the last life stages of that machine and 10.7 will push it right over the edge.
10.6 is a GOOD upgrade for that machine, faster than 10.7 or 10.5.
And 10.6 will run your 10.5 software, 10.7 will not.
Get iCloud with a new 10.8 machine coming out after this summer, seriously.
Your machine is too old to bother with Lion.
Or else you can learn yourself and use this link to get back to Snow, good luck finding your 10.5 programs.

chromium-pepper-flash won't install because the md5 checksum is invalid:
==> Validating source files with md5sums...
google-chrome-unstable_current_amd64.deb ... FAILED
LICENSE.txt ... Passed
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
This leaves me with three questions:
Does this happen often, or is it a freak coincidence that both recommended Flash packages are broken on the first day I start using Arch?
I can probably find the proper package file for chromium-pepper-flash-stable, but what is recommended practice for installing it (if I am in a hurry, or just impatient)? Should I hack the PKGBUILD file myself?
Should I flag these packages as out-of-date in AUR?
Thanks!

Yes, edit the PKGBUILD yourself. Both the link and the checksum.
Have a look at the comments: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chro … mments=all Being broken is not an uncommon occurrence for this package.

Windows Updates won't install - Error 0x80072EFD

Question
Windows Updates won’t install. I’m receiving Error 0x80072EFD. What can I do to solve this?
Answer
This particular error means that your computer was not able to connect to the Internet when it tried to install updates. First, check your Internet connection and then try again. If that doesn’t work, try the methods below.
Method A: Make sure that Windows Firewall is turned on, and temporarily disable third-party firewalls
Warning This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at your own risk.
To complete this method, follow these steps.
Step 1: Make sure that Windows Firewall is turned on
To open Windows Firewall, click the Start button, and then click Control Panel. In the search box, type firewall, and then click Windows Firewall.
Click Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
Click On (recommended), and then click OK.
Step 2: Temporarily disable third-party firewalls
Click the Start button, click Control Panel, and then, under System and Security, click Review your computer's status.
Click the arrow button next to Security to expand the section.
Under Firewall, read the firewall status note. This information will indicate which, if any, firewall is installed and whether the firewall is turned on. For example, for ZoneAlarm, the notice will say ZoneAlarm Firewall is currently ON.
Open the third-party firewall application that is listed in the firewall status note, and temporarily disable the firewall. If necessary, refer to the firewall application documentation, or contact the application vendor for more information about how to temporarily disable the application.
Step 3: Try to install the updates again
If this method resolved your issue, follow the steps in Method B, step 2 to re-enable your third-party firewall. You might want to also check for and install any necessary updates to your third-party firewall.
If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method B.
Method B: Temporarily disable third-party antivirus software
Warning This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at your own risk.
Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method A, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
Step 1: Locate and temporarily disable your third-party antivirus software
Note Windows does not detect all antivirus software, and some antivirus software doesn't report its status to Windows. If your antivirus software is not displayed in Windows Security Center, and you're not sure how to find it, try any of the following:
Look for the antivirus software in the list of programs on the Start menu.
Type the name of the software or the publisher in the Search box on the Start menu.
Look for the software in Action Center:
Click the Start button, click Control Panel, and then, under System and Security, click Review your computer's status.
Click the arrow button next to Security to expand the section.
If Windows can detect your antivirus software, it will be listed under Virus protection.
If the software is turned on, check the Help documentation that was included with the software for information about how to disable it.
Note You may have to look in the application documentation to determine how to do this.
Step 2: Check for Windows Updates
As soon as the antivirus software is temporarily disabled, visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update site again, and try to download and install updates.
If this method resolved your issue, and you were able to install the updates successfully, you should re-enable your third-party antivirus software.
If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method C.
Method C: Disable software accelerator programs
Disable any software accelerator programs that may be running. Some examples of these programs are file download accelerators and Internet speed accelerators.
Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method B, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
Step 1: Disable software accelerator programs
To do this, select from the following options:
See the documentation that was included with the program.
View the Help files for your program.
Contact the program vendor. For information about how to contact the program vendor, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors
Step 2: Install Updates
As soon as the software accelerator program is disabled, visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update site again, and try to download and install updates.
If this method resolved your issue, you should enable the software accelerator programs that you disabled in Step 1.
If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method E.
Method D: Add the Windows Update Web site and the Microsoft Update Web site to the Trusted Sites list
Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method A, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
To add the Windows Update Web site and the Microsoft Update Web site to the Trusted Sites list, follow these steps:
Start Windows Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Note If you are using Internet Explorer 7, and the menu is not available, press the ALT key on your keyboard to access the Internet Explorer Menu.
Click the Security tab, and then click Trusted Sites.
Click Sites, and then click to clear the Require server verification (https for all sites in this zone check box.
In the Add this Web site to the zone box, type the following addresses, and then click Add after you type each address:
http://update.microsoft.com
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Click OK two times.
Try to install the updates again.
If this method resolved your issue and you were able to install updates successfully, you should re-enable your third-party firewall if it is still disabled. To do this, see step 2 in Method A.
For more methods and advanced troubleshooting techniques, see You may encounter temporary connection-related errors when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates.

Mark, I've just been through this update issue with two installations. In my case, it seemed intertwined with authentification and indexing not working, either. Upon a transfer of my system disk to new hardware I got hit with the issue and couldn't fix it. Which is why I did a clean install of Win7 ultimate 64bit on my T61p. The install (including update) worked great until I ran the intel matrix storage manager update. This broke windows update. If you surf the web, and include "intel rapid storage manager" or "intel matrix storage manager" and "Windows update fails", you'll see that a lot of folks feel that the intel driver (or how windows handles it) is what breaks update. I tracked this down to a driver, iastor.sys, in windows\system32\drivers. I was able to fix my Window Update by copying an iastor.sys from another recently built machine (should be exactly the same, but this was my wife's T510, but still Win 7 Pro 64) to overwrite the iastor.sys that the intel update changed. To be clear: I couldn't get windows update or indexing to work. I overwrote* the "bad" iastor.sys with one that worked on another computer. Rebooted. Update worked. I just wanted to point out that instead of blindly installing updates to fix problems, folks should be aware that sometimes the update is the problem. Especially as these systems are off warranty and the drivers are not being updated. I've asked elsewhere, so let me ask here: Where is the System Interface Driver for t61p? Not listed anywhere on site, links on the web referring to it are all broken. Is the System Interface Driver now part of another driver program? Thanks! Jim T61p, Win 7 Ultimate 64bit, and T510, Win 7 Pro 64bit

HP OfficeJet J6410 won't install under Windows 8 & Windows 8.1

Recently I made a posting about installing the HP OfficeJet J6410 printer on my daughter's new HP laptop.
Please, before answering my question, I would like to point out to two earlier postings from me.
1. The first posting.
Around april this year (2014) I bought a new laptop for myself (a HP 15 Notebook PC, d081ed). It had Windows 8.1 pre-installed on it. At first I had problems installing the HP OfficeJet J6410 printer. I received a very usefull reply by which I was able to solve the problem.
Read more about this posting here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officet-J6410-won-t-install-under-Wind...
2. The second posting.
Almost two weeks ago a bought a second HP laptop (HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11-e000ed) voor my daughter. This laptop had Windows 8 pre-installed on it. I experienced the same problem with the printer and made a posting. Unfortunatelly that didn't resolve the problem. I received no further reactions. The problem is still unsolved.
Read more about this posting here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/HP-OfficeJet-J6410-won-t-install-under...
A. What have I done afterwards?
Afterwards the previous above I first made sure I had all the updates for Windows 8 installed. I've read that in the case of the laptop of my daughter I could upgrade for free to Windows 8.1. So I did that too.
B. Why a second posting?
Since I upgraded to Windows 8.1. I realized my second posting wasn't quite accurate anymore. I realized it could lead to confusion since I now don't have Windows 8 installed on it anymore.
Now here's the strange part.
B.1.
On my own laptop (d081ed, HP 15 Notebook PC) I have the same operating system (Windows 8.1. ) as I now have on the laptop for my daughter (11-e000ed, HP Pavillion Touchsmart)
B.2.
After upgrading I tried the same steps, as described in my first posting, on the laptop for my daughter.
Strangely enough, and although we now both have a HP laptop with exactly the same operating system on it, I can not get the printer installed.
What can be wrong? I tried updating, the scrubber, the packages to solve the C++ redistributable packages... nohting works! And worse!! It seems I somehow made the problem worse...
Why do I think that, and are there things or error-messages that are different than the one I experienced before (with my own laptop, see point 1 above at the beginning of this posting).
B.2.1.
The first thing that is different:
If I want to install the printer, and after it extracted files, checked the system and prepares it for installation, I receive the message:
C:\users\<username of my daughter.\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS0FF0\Setup\de..
This is different than the message (Program: C\Users\IRN\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS28Db\Setup.exe) I experienced with my own laptop (the d081ed).
Note the difference between:
..Temp\7zS0FF0\Setup\de.. (<-- that is the message I get on the laptop of my daughter)
and
..Temp\7zS28Db\Setup.exe (<-- that is the message I had on my own laptop)
B.2.2.
The second thing that is different:
At some point I installed, after upgrading to Windows 8.1, the SP 40669 package. I can't remember having done that on my own laptop.
B.2.3.
On my own laptop I installed the C+++ packages for 2005, 2008 and 2010.
On the one for my daughter I only installed the C+++ package for 2010 (KB2562063, version 10.0.30319 and 10.0.40219, but I don't think that is the problem really, correct my if I'm wrong).
B.2.4.
Before I upgraded to Windows 8.1. I got an error message at rebooting the system (in Dutch
explorer.exe - Toepassingsfout
De instructie op 0x5d2c3e01 verwijst naar geheugen op 0x00000000. Een lees- of schrijfbewerking op het geheugen is mislukt: read.
Klik op OK als u het programma wilt beëindigen.
And after that the message doesn't wait for your click on OK. It just flashes away very quickly. Since I got that message a couple of times, I did manage to capture it with the camcorder on my mobile phone. In that way I was able to describe you the message as exactly as here above.
I sometimes get the message again, and then not. So it's not consistent. It seems to me the problem there is with explorer.exe and not with the printerproblem, but I'm not sure. Couple of days later, there were new updates for Windows 8.1, which I installed, and the error-message didn't show up again the last few days.
Last request.
I would really appreciate some help with this. The reason I like the printer installed is because of the HP Solution Center. I'm sure my daughter would use it for scanning documents needed for her study and printing activities.
I installed the basic printer for the time being, but only as I temporarily work-around, so she can - at least - print all of her study materials. Scanning, on the other hand, is some differtent then, but that is a known problem with the basic printer driver.
I truly don't understand this problem. We both have an HP laptop, we both have the same operating system now (Windows 8.1) and stil .. on my laptop I managed to install the printer, and on hers not.
Please help me.
(p.s. I do have a HP support Pack for both laptops, and if one thinks that this problem is too complex and would redirect me to HP support ... no offense taken, from my side. But, I really would like to try to solve problem myself at first and would really appreciate your help with it. )

Hello RNRMusicMan,
Glad you're willing to help me out. So Sorry I couldn't send a message earlier. I had a few appointments the last few days and afterwards I had to little time to spend enought time to try to solve te problem.
But o.k, let's continue.
I've followed the steps you mentioned as a second option. I'll describe what I've done.
First I tried the Hp printer install wizzard
No succes
Same error occured …\setup\de.. (at the second fase of the installation program of the printersoftware)
Restarted the system
I used the Scrubber
L4
Error: uninstaller didn't work. Clicked ok
Restart
At restart I got the same error about something with the memory. (In dutch; 'De instructie op 0x5d2c3e01 verwijst naar geheugen op 0x00000000. Een lees- of schrijfbewerking op het geheugen is mislukt: read.' and please note that 0x5d2c3e01 was this with different numbers etc, but I guess that's just the adress in the memory where the program wants to read/write to)
I continued with cleanboot
Msconfig – services – hide all microsoft services – disable
Startup – system configuration – open task manager
On startup tab in task manager – I disabled each startup item
Closed taskmanager
Startup – system configuration – checked ok box
Restarted
Tried to install again with the OI_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_4.exe software I downloaded from the hp website
At ‘systeem wordt voorbereid op installatie’ I got the same error again: ‘C:\Users\Simone\AppData\Local-\Temp\7zS46SD\Setup\de..
After this I followed the steps as described to start up again normally (that is: msconfig, enabling the services again, etc.) and that step went o.k and as aspected, so no problems there.
After that I restarted the system again. I didn't get the message about the problem with the memory again. So I guess that must have been due to the error in the scrubber program.
I really don't understand this. Me and my daughter both have a hp, both the same OS (windows 8.1), and on my laptop I got the printer running and hers not. What can it be? I'm guessing that there most have been something that went wrong then with either the installation with one of the windows 8 or windows 8.a upgrades, or with the upgrading from windows 8 to windows 8.1. Or is that to far fetched? But that just a question I have, trying to understand what went wrong or what could be the cause of this.
So what now? It didn't work.
Update (29-9-14):
Since all the suggested solutions didn't work out I decided to start all over.
One of the reasons I decided to do so, was the following:
I've got an external DVD writer (Samsung, Slim External, model SE-8084D/TSWS) that I needed to use for installation of the HP J6410 CD that came with the printer, since the laptop of my daughter doesn't have a built-in DVD player.
Now here the strange thing! When I use it on my own laptop, it starts the software on the the HP J6410 DVD flawlessly. No problems there! But, when I connect it to the laptop of my daughter, it sees the CD and I can explore the files on it. But, when I try to start HPSetup.exe on it it does ... nothing!! Now that's very stange! Me and my daughter both have a HP laptop, with the same OS. Still it functions normally on my laptop, and on for the one for my daughter it does nothing. Same with the software that you can download from the HP site. It runs on my computer, but gives errors on the one for my daugther. So I guess that was a good reason to decide to start all over again from scratch
This is what I've done so far.
- I made a (full) factory recovery.
- I've installed all the updates for Windows 8.
- After that I upgraded to Windows 8.1 again and installed all of the updates for it as well.
- I removed the antivirus program (Norton Antivirus)
- After that is done I tried to install the printer again.
No success!
But.. I'm convinced I've found out where the problem might lay.
My daughter had c++ 2012 redistributable installed (version 11.0.50727).
My other laptop doesn't. An even older hp laptop (with Windows Vista on it) does neither. On those laptops the printer software ran.
On the new laptop for my daughter it doesn't.
So.. I'm suspecting the problem does not lay in the printer software but in the c++ 2012 redistributable package.
Another difference is that my own laptop had an Intel processor. The one for my daughter has an AMD.
So I am convinced the problem must lay in the C++ 2012 package (maybe combined with the AMD processor? I don't know) and NOT the printer software.
Anyone got any ideas on what to do next?
If so, I thankfully await your answer.

HP OfficeJet J6410 won't install under Windows 8

Hello to you all,
Two days ago, I bought a new notebook for my daughter. She needs it for her study. It's the HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11-e000ed.
Again, just like the situation I wrote about before in this topic over here (link: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officet-J6410-won-t-install-under-Wind... the OfficeJet Printer J6410 won't install under Windows 8.
Now this is what I've done before the problem occured:
- I made a username and password for her,
- I activated Windows 8,
- I made a recovery-point,
- I took my external DVD writer, installed Office 2007 Home and Student for her (o.k, I know it's old, but it's very o.k - and legal copy -. for her study, used it myself as well and still do, and never any complaints about that one), and activated it,
After that and restarting the notebook;
- the notebeek activated USB 2.0 (it does that automatically at first use),
- installed XPS2OneNote (to use for Office OneNote 2007),
- installed SaveAsPDF&XPS,
- removed Norton Internet Security (I never use it, I use something else for that purpose, but was - and still am - planning to install that on a later moment),
- I made sure the notebook can access the server we have here at home, and made a share for her.
After that I used the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408.exe file (Dutch, but I'll translate the text in English).
From this point on I will describe as precisely as possible what happened
- - the program extracts some files, no problems there,
- - when the first screen appears, I pressed 'Install',
- - a bar appears, and after that another pop-up that says tha you must allow all HP processes. I pressed 'Next',
- - system is controlled, and after that one must agree with the licence agreements. I checked the box, and pressed 'Next',
- - the system is prepared for installation and - yes! - there it comes... an error message.
The error message says:
C:\users\<username of my daughter.\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS0FF0\Setup\de..
Please not that this is a different message than the one I got before, as I described in my posting before, (link again: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officet-J6410-won-t-install-under-Wind...
Nonehteless, I assumed that, as before, the problem was with the C+++, just like before. That is why I made the following steps:
- I used the OJ_AIO_J6400_140_408_Scrubber program, run L4 4 times.
- I looked for the KB2565063 update, but it isn't there anymore. So, instead, I ran all updates there are until the system said that there are no updates to be found,
- After that I took the old installation disk that came with the OfficeJet J6410 printer, and (tried to) ran hpsetup.exe. It doesn't do a thing! Literally!!
- after that I tried to run the the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408.exe file again. No success. I got the same error as before (see above, the ..\7zS0FF0\Setup\de.. thing again.
So, what to do now?
Anyone got some helpfull tips for me? I would really appreciate your feedback / help.
Thank you in advance,

Hi again,
No, it didn't work. And, the solution you offered neither.
This is what I've done.
After downloading the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe file, I tried to install it.
It failed. I got an error message similar to the one before.
'C:\users\<username of my daughter.\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS57DB\Setup\de.'
I tried to ran the scrubber again, and the CCCUninstaller and tried again.
Same error message occured.
After that I tried to look for the KB2565063 file again. Found it this time and ran the vcredist_x64 file.
I rebooted the system, tried to run the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe file again.
Same error message ocuured.
So, after that, I followed the steps you proposed.
Step 2 - searching for hpoins*.dat --> no results found.
Step 3 - searching for hpwins*.dat --> no results found.
Step 4 - I ran the Run Dialog box and typed MSIEXEC /REGSERVER (with AND without the extra space between ('MSIEXEC /REGSERVER') in the Dialog Box and pressed Ok.
Got an error message in Dutch:
'Kan het bestand MSIEXEC /REGSERVER niet vinden. Controleer of u de naam juist hebt ingevoerd en probeer het daarna opnieuw.
Translation: 'Can't find the file MSIEXEC /REGSERVER. Check if you typed the name correctly and try again'.
Step 5 - I ran the Run Dialog box and typed MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER (with AND without the extra space between ('MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER') in the Dialog Box and pressed Ok.
Got an error message in Dutch:
'Kan het bestand MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER niet vinden. Controleer of u de naam juist hebt ingevoerd en probeer het daarna opnieuw.
Translation: 'Can't find the file MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER. Check if you typed the name correctly and try again'.
So... conclusion: NOTHING worked.
My ideas for a possible solution didn't work, and neither did your ideas for a possible solution.
Reason why I want it to work is because of the HP Solution Center. If I can not install it with the software from the original installation disk, or the software that one can download from the HP site (the OJ_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe file that is), than I have no HP Solution Center. That would be a pity, for I am sure my daughter would really love the use and ease of the program, and would really use it a lot for her study.
What's next? What else can I try to solve the problem?
Got any more idea's or helpful hints?
Thanks in advance,

Indesign CS6 won't install on Windows 7 64bit via GPO

Good afternoon,
I created a installation of Indesign CS6 with application manager enterprise 3 to deploy to computers via the active directory.
It installs correctly without issue to Windows XP x86 machines however won't install to Windows 7 x64 machines.
When the computers starts it trys to install but fails and proceeds to the login screen. The following information is left in the Windows event log.
Has anyone else had this problem and more importantly know how to solve it?

Hi Abhijit,
I am able to install InDesign CS6 manually on the machines from the CD/DVD however when trying to install it via GPO or running the msi using the msi exec commands it doesn't install and leaves the above errors in the event log.
The installation was made using the same CD/DVD and the installation works on the Windows XP clients and software other than InDesign CS6 will install to the Win 7 64-bit machines via GPO.
Cheers,

[Solved] KDE won't install
