Welcome to Arch Linux Installation Framework
/usr/lib/libui.sh: line 120: /usr/bin/dirname: Input/output error

Try 'mkdir --help' for more information.

I am attempting to install from an  ISO cd i burned.
I am extremely new to this and searched the Installation section of the forum with no luck. Thanks for any help.

I am using the 2010.05-core image. I tried installing on a different machine and it worked. I swapped the harddrive and it worked this time, but i received the following error before the arch boot screen came up.
Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 82944
I must have missed this error the first time by not paying attention, because the process continues after repeating the error a few times.

    Hi Anand,
    I would not care about those files, because they are unneccessary. mscreate.dir is a 0 byte file which just tells that microsoft has created this directory. The *.gid files are winhelp files that get created when you first use the help function.

  • Has anyone gotten a missing file error when installing 10.5 on windows 7

    I have tried to install iTunes 10.5 on my windows 7 64 bit laptop and keep getting a "missing file error" but it doesn't say what file is missing and I haven't been able to find any info to help resolve the issue. Any help would be appreciated!

    Ok, if you get this message I've read a bit further and found that you must uninstal everything that has something to do with apple. this includes the device driver. this link may help you with that. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925 Once I went through the list and deleted everything (device support is a *****). I installed it again and it came up with the same error. I then clicked ok and it rolled back but automatically started installing again and it worked. I know have itunes 10.5. but know my iphone 4 wont connect to it, lol. it says i have to reinstal because the driver didn't take or something. I really want the OS update for my phone but gd this is a bit much.

  • [SOLVED] Pacman error when installing Arch from installation cd

    Hey I''ve been checking the wiki, forum and even google and I've found some responses but they don't seem to apply to my problem and I just need a little help.
    I'm at the 4th step "Select Packages" and when I select it I get "Pacman preparation failed!  Check /dev/tty7 for errors"
    the error on tty7 is "pacman:  error while loading shared libraries:  /usr/lib/libalpm.so.4:  cannot read file data:  Input/output error"
    I apologize if this is an easy fix but its been almost a year since I've used arch and I'm a bit spoiled with ubuntu.

  • CRC missing file error when installing windows

    When trying to instal windows on my Mac Pro desktop I keep getting the same error message. I must have tried it 6 times and always get the same message whether I am trying to my main disk partitioned, or to my secondary disk. It tells me to check my disk and I have, and cleaned it, plus I have ued the same disk to instal windows on my laptop Mac Pro without problems.
    The message follows...

    fatal error:

    Data error (cycle redundancy check)
    If you are installing from a CD there might be a problem with the disk; try cleaning the disk or using another disk.
    Please help!
    Doug

    It should be "Cyclic Redundancy Check" I believe. If I were you I would check the disc for scratches...etc., and even if you can't detect any that are very visible, it would still be a good idea to go out and purchase some stuff designed for fixing scratches/blemishes on CD's so you can use them again. If that doesn't work, I'm at a loss.

  • What is the 0x80070570 error when installing Win7 or Win8 or Win 8.1 on a clean SSD/HDD ?!

    Hello,
    My computer was working perfectly with Win7 for about 2years until I formatted on monday to clean a little bit my drives ... Since then I'm unable to install windows again. I have the 0x80070570 error.
    The complete error message is:
    Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure that all files required for installation are available and restart the installation. Error code:0x80070570.
    What is the 0x80070570 error when installing Win7 or Win8 or Win 8.1 on a clean SSD/HDD ?! These versions are full from MSDN.
    What I did already:
    check my RAM (16go gskill)
    remove unnecessary hard drives
    replace my "old" SSD with a clean new one
    remove my sound cards
    remove the mouse and use only keyboard
    reset the BIOS
    check every LED on the motherboard (asus sabertooth z77) and there is no problem
    What are the problems?
    Thanks,
    Adrien.

    Hi,
    If all images cannot be installed, we have a reason to suspect the hardware cause.
    If you use two memory slots to get 16G RAM, I suggest you test with just one (8G) to check the result.

  • Errors when installing Oracle Client 10.2.0.2.0 on zLinux (Red Hat)

    I am receiving errors when installing Oracle Client 10.2.0.2.0 (Administrator) on zLinux. During the install I receive two notifications for File Not Found when the installer tries to create the link for lib32/libclntsh.so.10.1. I hit ignore on the pop-ups and the install completes. The Oracle Net Configuration Assistant then fails to launch with the following error:
    Output generated from configuration assistant "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant":

This file may be used to run these configuration assistants outside of OUI. Note that you may have to update this script with passwords (if any) before executing the same.
    I have seen multiple threads relating to very similar errors, but none of the fixes that were suggested have worked. I have double checked the required Red Hat packages and made sure they were all installed on the server. All of the prerequisite checks for the installer are successful. Any assistance would be of most helpful!

    Worked with my Linux system admin and figured out that we were indeed missing some packages. There are 390 and 390x rpm's for Red Hat on System Z, i.e. 64 bit and 32 bit versions. Since we are running a 64 bit os some of those 32 bit packages did not get installed. Since our roles are split up, I am kind of blind as to the OS setup so I was not able to catch the problem. It is truly puzzling as to why Oracle would need 32 bit packages even though Oracle client is 64 bit. Regardless, after adding the 32 bit rpm's the installer was able to perform the linking operation that was failing, and the network configuration script ran successfully.

  • Error when Installing Eax-console as part of Audigy support pack 3.6

    <div class="lia-component-body lia-message-body">Hey there, out of nowhere I have the following problem:
    I have used several versions of this audigy support Pack up to now, both in Windows XP and Windows 7 RC and all worked fine for me. Most recently I used 3.5 and 3.6 in both OS for a short time.
    now I had to format my harddisk an have installed a clean version of Win XP SP3. I installed an update pack (winboard.org), the latest direct X and drivers for nvidia motherboard and videocard. Then, when I tried to install this support pack, I get an error messagge I-00 when eax-console should have been installed, something about CTengine being unable to be installed.
    I read through many of the solutions here in the forum, since this error seems to be not so rare. But up to now, nothing helped. This is, what my install.log tells me:
    [EAX Console]
    GUID={5B7E626-7885-4FC3-A66A-73548A4F0FD}
    Warning=I-008 CTRegSvr fails to register C:\Programme\Creative\EAX\Karaoke.exc.
    [Common Audio Driver Interface]
    GUID={700932B3-A964-4878-82A2-96054622AF7}
    Warning=I-007 RegSvr32 fails to un-register C:\Programme\Creative\ShareDLL\CADI\ctcadi.dll.
    All other install.log from the other parts of the pack contain no warning. Everything except the EAX-console works fine, if I try to start that, I get an error "No components are registered", an I don't have a "karaoke" register, but otherwise it works well, I can use the effects and cmss.
    What the heck could I do?
    I made an new thread, since nobody seamed to react to my post in the support pack thread.

    HRe: Error when Installing Eax-console as part of Audigy support pack 3.6o What you have is a missing file, or perhaps your system is wanting to install direct X redistributable or something similar. Do a search on your system for install.log and when you find the newest one, or second to newest one, open it with notepad. It will tell you exactly what you are missing. I was trying to install some components for my Elite Pro and it said in the install.log that it could not find DXREDIST. So I copied a version I had to the installing program's folder and it worked!? So take a look at that log and see what is missing......write back with your results if you dont mind. In the original post I had seen the registration problems with components. You can manually run regsvr32 with the /? switch and see how to unregister that yourself and then try the installation again.

  • HT4759 getting hresult: 0x80070091 error when installing iCloud on vista sp2 pc

    getting hresult: 0x80070091 error when installing iCloud on vista sp2 pc

    There is a very long way which is removing anything related to Apple including stuff in the registry.
    The short way is as follows. It worked for me.
    I have seen that in the forum EXCEPT the registry trick which is missing and does the different.
    1. Remove the Apple account from Outlook.  In my case a me.com account.
    2. Disconnect the connection to ICloud in the control panel of version 3.1.
    REBOOT and open Outlook to see that all traces of the email account and of ICloud are gone.
    3. Uninstall ICloud 3.1. I used REVO Uninstaller in Safe way mode. It removed some stuff in the registry from what I see; but not sure.
    4. Delete as much stuff as possible in the C \Program Files (x86) \Common Files \ Apple
    and C\Program Files\Common Files \Apple.  My computer is 64 bits.
    5. Go to the registry by typing regedit.exe or simply type regedit in the Start Box. Search for ICloud.  I deleted TWO entries related to ICloud. Otherwise, you will still see the ICloud control panel despite the fact that you removed 3.1.
    6. then I was able to install ICloud 4 immediately.  Upon restarting it asked me my email and password and added itseft to Outlook like it was before. Be aware that you address book in Outlook could be deleted, so do an export before.

    Error - 1607: Unable to Install InstallShield Scripting Run Time
    Update to the Latest InstallShield Installation Engines
    http://knowledge.macrovision.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=Q108322&sliceId=1
    When running into installation issues, it is always recommended that you use the latest InstallShield installation engines. This article contains steps on how to download and install the latest InstallShield engines for the installation version you are trying to install.
    What to do?
    Follow the Troubleshooting steps below:
    Determine if the installation is compressed or uncompressed. 
    Launch Windows Explorer by pressing the Windows key + E or select Start > Run and type explorer. 
    Browse to the location of the installation files. For example, if the installation is on a CD, browse to the CD-ROM drive. 
    Search for the installation file. The typical names for installation files are setup.exe, update.exe, installer.exe, etc. 
    If the installation file is the only file in the directory (a single installation file), continue with the remaining suggestions in Step 1. Otherwise, if there are other files in the same directory as the installation file, continue to Step 2. 
    When a single installation file is run, it uncompresses the installation files into a temporary location (usually the Temp directory). Use these steps to find the installation in the temporary location:
    Start the single installation file, but do not continue or cancel the installation dialogs. 
    Browse to the Temp directory. For further information on how to find the Temp directory, see Clean the Temp Directory. 
    Search for the installation file. The typical names for installation files are setup.exe, update.exe, installer.exe, etc. The uncompressed installation file should contain other files in the same directory. Continue with step 2.
    Right-click on the installation file that you are trying to install and select Properties. 
    In the Properties dialog, click on the Version tab. 
    Look at the File Version field to determine the version number of the InstallShield engine you need. Follow the instructions for your version. If you started the installation in Step 1d, cancel it.
    If the file version number is 2.0x or less:
    Delete the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\engine from the machine. 
    Download IkernelUpdate.exe. 
    Once downloaded, double-click it. This installs the InstallShield engine for your installation.
    If the file version number starts with 6:
    Delete the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\engine from the machine. 
    Download IkernelUpdate.exe. 
    Once downloaded, double-click it. This installs the InstallShield engine for your installation.

    If Yes:
    Delete the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Driver\7 from the machine. 
    Download ISScript7.zip. 
    Unzip this file. For more information on unzipping files, see How Do I Unzip a File in Windows XP? or How Do I Use the WinZip Utility in Windows 2000 or Earlier?.

    I don't know much about the 10g Releases yet but I had the same error with 9.0.2.3. The problem is that OID isn't available when it needs to be.
    When you get the error, start OID using the command line then try running the config assistant again.
    Hope this helps

    I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install.  Does not work.  same message.  What is a solution?

    Is that an error 2 message?
    If so, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
