Is that not what I wrote?
I think the poster is making the distinction of just uninstalling and reinstalling themes only as opposed to your original suggestion of uninstalling and reinstalling themes and applications.

Roxio keeps trying to install, have searched forums for answer, need help
Hello,
About a month ago I bought an 8300 series Curve. That night I tried installing Desktop Manager with Roxio, had lots of problems, read the forums, and decided against using Roxio. I unintalled everything (so I thought), and reinstalled Desktop Manager without Roxio. Everything was fine until this week. The computer was on but not used for a couple days while I was out of town: upon my return I saw that Roxio was trying to install itself again. I'm assuming an update was pushed out. Now, I can't get rid of it. I have uninstalled Blackberry Desktop software. I have deleted everything from my computer that has 'Roxio' or 'Sonic' in its name. I have run my registry tools in System Mechanic Professional. It still keeps trying to install. I even tried system restore. I disabled Windows Installer in msconfig, now it just keeps popping the installer window up and closing it. I can't download and install the Microsft Installer Cleanup utility mentioned on some forums because either a) I have disabled my installer, or b) when the installer is enabled, I get an error message telling me that another installation (aka the Roxio installation) is already in progress.
Surely, there must be some line in some code somewhere that I can get to and change so I can stop this thing from triggering Roxio to install. And, how do I clean it off and ban Roxio from ever trying to install anything on my system again? It's literally like some kind of virus.
Thanks.This is an addendum to my previous post:
I somehow was able to sneak in an install of the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility. But when I went to run it, Roxio or anything related was not listed at all. So, that was not a good solution.
I tediously went through the entire registry and deleted all references to Roxio. I re-enabled my Windows Installer. Now, something keeps trying to install, but never references Roxio anymore. The Windows Installer window pops up, then disappears. This happens in spurts now: the window pops up about 3 to 5 times, then stops popping up for a minute or two, then starts again. There's obviously one more registry reference that doesn't have 'Roxio' in the name. If anyone knows it and can point me to it, I'd be grateful.
In the meantime, I now have to figure out how to fix the resolution on my monitor. Obviously deleting some Roxio shared thing affected that, and I can't seem to find the right settings again. I feel like suing Roxio for the time I wasted today! -
MacBook Pro 2010: Flashing folder w/? on not responding to startup keys & I'm trying to install a new hard drive, can anyone help?
Thanks. It started up com that disk but when I went to install it had an error message (didn't get to write out what it said). So I attempted to restore from time machine but it said there was no space, even though it's a new (replacement under warranty) HGST 1TB HD, so I did what I think was right and tried to partition the disk but it now says 'Partition faild...POSIX report...cannot allocate memory'. im not sure what to do, and I'm trying to remember how the previous hd was installed and formatted for use but that was over a year ago now. Should have erased the hd first or something?

2011 MacBook Pro, 64 bit i7 quad core, upgraded to Lion OSx, Bootcamp installed with Windows 7, wanting to install Windows 8 (don't ask), tried downloading/installing bootcamp 5.0.5033 (both on the mac/windows partitions (actually using a parallel to run Windows)), error message something similar to bootcamp doesn't support this Windows
So the question is am I doing something wrong? Should I just try and install windows 8 through my windows 7 partition and see if I can use the bootcamp 5.05033. Or do I solely have to use the bootcamp to install Windows 8? I'm not too familiar with bootcamp and how it runs.if you're using parallels and full bootcamp then you're making it 100% more troublesome for youself then it needs to be
bootcamp is running windows directly on the hardware this give full memory and cpu and 3d video game power
running windows in parallels is running a virtual machine where one can't run powerful games and the like but one can have it in a window and change fast between osx and windows
parallels as the only virutal machine (as far as I know) support not have the operating system as a file on the osx harddisk but can access a bootcamp parition as virtual machine but without the benefits bootcamps provides
it's a service parallels provide for those who want both to play games in normal bootcamp and sometimes use windows in a virutal machine
just install it like a normal virtual machine and you need not worry about bootcamp drivers and the likes
plus it would mean that the windows part would be a part of the timemachine bacup of osx
which it is not when it's in bootcamp -

Strange solution to "Something went wrong trying to install this application."
Basically the solution was to install
AIR
Beta 3 then install the AIR 1.0, copy "Adobe AIR Application
Installer.exe", "Adobe AIR Application Installer.swf", and "Adobe
AIR.dll" from the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
AIR\Versions\1.0 directory into the AIR beta 3 directory which I
think was "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0.6".
Then, I associated the .air file with the "airappinstaller.exe"
executable located in the AIR beta 3 directory. Amazingly, doing
this allowed me to install the AIR application without any
problems.
The problem this addresses is getting the message "Something
went wrong trying to install this application." every time I tried
to install an AIR application. The exact error message is below. I
assumed that I was having problems because I had installed an AIR
beta in the past. I'm not for sure on that though. The AIR
installer log seemed normal. At least there were not any error
messages that I could see. The AIR application installer log did
not output any data for me. I followed the instructions from
this
blog on setting up the installer logs.
Here is the error message:
Adobe AIR
Something went wrong trying to install this application.
Please install the latest version of Adobe AIR from
http://www.adobe.com/go/getair
and then try again.
OK

Adobe Air on Mac: "Something Went Wrong Trying to Install This Application" Error
I have been reading several posts on this, but nowhere can I find a solution. Within the past few weeks, I receive this error any time I try to install a new AIR application:
"Something Went Wrong Trying to Install This Application. Please install the latest version of AIR from.."
Then it gives me the download link. I've tried reinstalling, but that doesn't fixt the issue. I'm using OS X 10.6.3- is there ANY way to solve this?Hi Jason. Can you post your install log here so we can take a look at what the problem may be? To see the install log, Open "Console" to view logging. Then copy and paste the log here.
In the meantime, try to uninstall AIR before reinstalling AIR to see if that fixes the problem.
Thank you!

Something Went Wrong Trying to install...
I haven't every been able to get AIR to work on my laptop
since it was called Apollo, but I got a bunch of cool links to
stuff at MAX that I wanted to try out, so I uninstalled the AIR
Runtime I had, rebooted, installed AIR 1.5, and now all attempts to
install AIR applications com back with the dreaded "Something Went
Wrong Trying to install this application." error.
I'm running Vista Home Premium, and I did run into a problem
where the HKLM/Software/Classes/.air keys were locked, and after
wrestling with the Registry permissions, I managed to clean that
up, so the installer now seems to be creating and deleting those
keys properly. However, I'm still getting this "Something Went
Wrong" error.
I've created .airappinstall.log and .airinstall.log files in
my home directory, but the .airappinstall.log file remains empty.
The .airinstall.log file shows a successful install of the AIR
runtime.
I've got several .air files that I've downloaded and saved to
my computer, and these seem to suffer the same problems as if I
were using the "Badge" installations online.
If I uninstall the AIR application, and then use a Badge
install to install both the application and the runtime, both
successfully install. However, any subsequent application installs
fail with the same "Something went wrong" message.Do you have Vista 64bit?
Does this look like your problem?

I have a mac os x 10.7.3 and am trying to install a dell v515w printer. Have tried numerous times to find driver, but mac says not compatible. I read something about using a Lexmark driver. Any suggestions???
Thanks so much,If there is no driver compatible with OX X 10.7 you might want to consider getting a different printer. It may save hair pulling and aggravation.

I'm trying to install Mavericks and got this message: You need 4.94 GB of available space to download OS X Mavericks. Remove items from your startup disk to increase available space. How do I do this?
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Look though other Apple Mail folders like the junk mail and delete the mail that is in there. Look through your sent items folders and see there is any mail in there that can be deieted.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck! -
Nokia E71 trying to install something when I switc...
I have just bought a Nokia E71 from a friend. For some reason I decided to delete apps I wouldn’t use and deleted Top Hits Solitaire and Global Race. When I turn the phone on now it starts installing something and then I get a message saying “Unable to complete the installation from the memory card. To install remaining applications go to Application Manager.” Could this be because I deleted the two apps? Any advice as to how I can find out what it is trying to install and how I can stop it trying to install it?
X-plore is here: http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=xplore
Y-Browser is here: http://www.drjukka.com/YBrowser.html
Install any one of them (or both) as you like. Then, using the file manager, browse to C: drive and then to the folder named "Installation". You'll find some SIS or SISX files over there. Move them to another folder of your own (you can create a new folder for this purpose). See if this solves the problem.
If you feel uncomfortable doing all that, I'd recommend you make a backup of all important data of the phone on to a computer first, just in case something goes awry. Good luck. -

Mac Mini Keeps Trying To Install Windows on Startup
I just got my Mac Mini in today, and I am very frustrated. I tried to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp, I created the partition and inserted the Windows 7 disc but when I tried to install it Windows 7 said it was not the correct format to install it on. So I just shut down the Mac Mini by pressing the power button on the back and now whenever I try to start it up it goes directly into trying to install Windows, is there any fix to this?
I think if I could just get the disc out it would help but I'm not sure as this is my first Mac.Probably ALT (but YMMV!)
BTW:
So I just shut down the Mac Mini by pressing the power button on the back
Probably best NOT to do this in future. Shut it down using the Apple Menu/Shut Down. -
I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I am using windows 7 professional install disc. I can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?
Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
"P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.
