Stalls on installation

I'm having some major issues at present. I restarted my Mac last night to see the dreaded No Entry symbol. I can start up from my backup drive and see contents of my Mac but can only copy some of them over.
I have done the following:
Repaired Disk Permission: Nothing found
Repaired Disk: Nothing found
Ran Hardware test (advanced): Nothing found
I then tried to Archive and Install but it seems to stall when installing the system. It gets around a third of the way and then my drive makes clicky sounds and will install no more.
I only really wanted to run the Archive and Install rather than a full installation because I have some files that haven't been backed up. To be honest I'm not sure that would work anyway.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

I've tried running Disk Warrior but that just stalls as well after a while (I think whilst it's trying to scan the faulty drive) and then I get the spinning kaleidoscope of death

IMac stalls during installation

I have a 17" iMac G5 that just recently started stalling during installation. The computer acts as if it is loading up the OS, but takes forever - somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 minutes. It has in fact eventually made it to the desktop. However, once you restart, it's back to doing the same thing.
I tried starting up from the MAC OS CD by holding down the "C" key, and now the computer just sits, and the icon spins and it has my CD in there.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and what did you do about it? Also, how do I now eject the CD from the computer?

1. What were you installing? Be very clear.
2. Where did you get the OS X installer disk? Is it a retail version of 10.4?

Stalled OID installation

Hi All,
I am installing OID 10.1.4 on a Red Hat Linux server. The server already has Oracle DB 11.2 and OAS 10 running. During the OID installation, the installation stopped at Configuration Assistant's - Oracle Database Configuration Assistant and stay there for hours without progressing. Checked the oradata directory and can't see any dbfs or any files being created there. The only message from the shell which started the installer is 'opmnctl: opmn is already running'.
Has anyone seen that before?
Thanks

Eh no, I was referring to the installation that complained about opmn already being started. At that point, you might try stopall, or startall (depending on what the actual status is).
Normally, this should not stall - I have seen this warning before, and it never actually stops the installation process.
However, at some stage the process tries to figure out what ports are being used, and it runs some hideous perl/java code. Just be patient when you find out netstat is running.
Are you actually installing now?
Cheers, Frank

PSE 2.0 Stalls on installation

When I try to install PSE 2.0 on my WIndows XP Home it stalls. The hour glass appears for 10 seconds then goes away. The program was installed on this computer, but I had to replace the hard drive, now PSE 2.0 won't reinstall. Can anyone out there help.
Thanks

Hi Rick,
There seems to be some issue with the installer. Can you share what does that log file says? The installer log file can be located in %temp% folder with the name like MSIxxxxx.log.
If you are enable to find it, then you may need to enable the windows installer logging explicitly. Following link might help you:

Itunes 8 stalls during installation

If anyone can assist,
I recently tried downloading the latest itunes software from this website and it will never complete. I am not getting an error message it just stops processing all together around 56%. I have been using a zune and their marketplace for sometime. Oddly enough i had the same issue downloading the marketplace software and had to have MS send me a disc for the installation. I want to buy a ipod classic but before I did I was trying to download the software and give it a test run.
I am a little reluctant now because I am having so much difficulty. I was worried about my system settings and extra junk on my computer so I wiped it clean and rebooted putting it back to the way it was the day I purchased it. I had not done this in years so I was assuming any problems I was experiencing would be cleared up this way.
Unfortunately I still cannot download the Itunes software. Anyone have suggestions as to what i am doing wrong.
Thank you.

Thank you for the response,
Yes I tried downloading from the website : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
I was trying to just run from the download at first but then I also tried saving to my desktop as you suggested. It times out a little farther down the way at 67% percent when i do this. Keep in mind my system was fully updated when I originally had the problem. All drivers from dell website....and all windows updates. I had installed windows sp 3 prior to rebooting my system all togehter.
I believe you are right in that it is a more general problem than itunes since i had the same issues with the zune marketplace.
The system is fully updated now, no cookies, pop up blocker is off. I am not sure what a web accelerator is to know if I ever had one running.
I also don't know of any alternate web browsers to download from. I am also going to check the dell forum to see if i can get some assistance. Thank you for trying. If anyone else has a suggestion please feel free to let me know.
Thank you.

Photoshop Installation Stalled: Another Installer Is Currently Running

Upon attempting to install Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended edition, a pop up box appears which gives the message at the foot of the post, however no other installers are running. I've tried rebooting the PC and all my current software is up-to-date but this message appears every time I insert the disc and attempt to install the programme.
I’m currently running the Windows 8 operating system but as far as I’m aware this shouldn’t affect the install.
Any help would be very much appreciated as this is becoming increasingly frustrating.
THE POP UP BOX SAYS…
Adobe Installer
We've encountered the following issues
Another installer is currently running, which must be closed before installing this product. Please close other installers.

Firstly, thank you for your help and suggestions.
It seems the cause of the fault was nothing to do with Photoshop at all, but rather something to do with a recently installed version of Microsoft Office 2010.
Ultimately, shortly after my failed attempts to install Photoshop, Microsoft Office 2010 caused a computer crash, which corrupted a number of Office files and in order to avoid further complications, Windows elected to revert to an earlier back-up of the system (pre Office installation).
When I attempted to install Photoshop, following this system revert, it installed first time with absolutely NO COMPLICATIONS AT ALL.
To anyone else who receives the error message displayed at the top of this post, I urge you to check whether Microsoft Office is hampering the install.

Adobe updater stalls during installation (Mac)

We bought CS3 premium a couple months ago and have tried to use the auto update from Adobe. Unfortunately after downloading the new version of RAW the updater hangs up and never completes. It is the only CS app that does this.
It's kind of an old Mac, but it has 10.4.11 on it and enough disk space.
Any suggestions?

Adobe Updater:
Adobe Camera Raw 4.2 Update (never finishes install - hangs up around 40%
complete)

Adobe Updater is a piece of ****. It only works when you are the first user created on the system and it does not work when filevault is enabled. Amazing how they can get that program so crappy. It is hard to do this wrong. Just download directly and apply the updaters by hand.

Enabling Installation of CS3 and CS4 products that will not install on Windows 7 64Bit.

Adobe installers are not known for their helpful or forgiving ways & I have more than once had to reinstall Windows when installation of CS3 and CS4 products has failed with patently inscrutable errors.
The background to the current issue that I was attempting to install PS CS4 on a W7 system which already had CS CS3 installed. The CS4 installer threw up inscrutable messages indicating that the installation could not proceed and to contact Adobe (they are joking right ? Their phone & web support is notoriously UN-helpful).
After reading through threads suggesting that I uninstall CS3, apply CS3 and CS4 cleaning scripts I was in exactly same position I have found myself in on least 2 occasions with WinXP. By this time I couldn't event get CS CS3 to reinstall!
Then I decided to review the event log and found a number of installer events thrown up by the Adobe installers resembling "Error 1402. Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\xxxxxxxx".
I tracked down this very helpful solution which allowed me to change the registry permissions on the parent key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\ Components and propagate the new permissions down to the child keys.
http://www.okino.com/conv/changing_windows_registry_permissions.htm.
My advice is to follow instructions for "A More All-Encompassing Solution" and propagate the permissions right down to all the child keys as I could see a number of separate adobe installer errors in the event log. Also note the instruction to change the Owner from 'System' to 'Administrators' in Advanced settings. This is necessary in order for the Permissions change to be accepted and replace all the child object permissions.
As with most registry changes good advice to backup your registry hive first (although I didn't; by this time I was already expecting to have to reinstall Windows) and restart your system after making the registry changes before attempting to install / reinstall CS3 or CS4 products.
Hope this solution works as well for others as it did for me as the Adobe support on this issue has been next to useless.
[P.S. Q: Did you hear the joke about the guy who worked on product installation at Adobe rocking up at job interview with 'Adobe Installation Project Team' on his Resume? A: That that is the joke! If you wanted another job in installation development you would hardly admit to experience at Adobe ;)]

John Joslin wrote:
We don’t want people messing with the registry when they don’t need.
My apologies John I didn't realize that I was addressing the official custodian of Photoshop.
Incidentally my advice is intended for others in a similar situation who find themselves stalled during installation and otherwise contemplating a re-installation of Windows. I believe this would be obvious to most forum participants who had actually read my original post.

Attempt to install Flash CS6 stalled at 24%

I have tried to install flash CS6, with the Aplication Manager, twice and both times it stalled at 24% so I had to abort.
I was able to download & extract but it stalled on installation.
This did not happen when I installed it on my laptop.
Another strange thing is that my application manager only displays some of my installed applications as installed but not all.
Any suggestions for a successful install of Flash for me?

Jeff,
I did find the log file for this attempted installation. I searched through the file but did not find either ERROR or FAILED.
I am not a programer so I do not know what else might reflect a problem in the file. One thing I found was "Physical payload repair result:0" also it appears to have some things repeated over several times, one of which contains "1: sxsdelca: Skipping component 2:".
I wish I could attach the file here but it appears that only image and video files can be attached.
I am not really sure where to go from here?
