Thininstaller - Power Manager fails to install on T410 - Windows 7 32bit

I have a TVSU Repository set up and it has been working great for us.  I sometimes have to run the thininstaller command again after a machine images if the machine did a silent install of a BIOS upgrade the first time so other updates can't continue.  That is OK for now.
My biggest concern is that thininstaller isn't installing the Power Manager in Windows 7 for our T410 laptops.  The following line is in the thininstaller log file:
Info 2010-07-07 , 07:35:32
 at Tvt.FileDownloader.IndexRepositoryDownloader.Download(FileToDownloadBean bean)
 Message: the File to download is completed: \\server\d$\packages\drivers\lenovo\81u411ww\81u411ww_2_.xml
However - it never actually gets installed. If I manually do an update:
thininstaller /repository \\server\repository
It scans through but says no products were found for my system.  That isn't right though, the Power Manager (81u411ww.exe) is available and applicable in the repository.
I've delete this package from the repository and re-downloaded it and still the same issue.  This seems to be isolated to T410's (2518-F3U) units.
Any idea why thininstaller isn't installing Power Manager?  I have full log files I can provide but I didn't want to spam this post.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

Well, in case anyone else runs into this issue - I am getting around the issue by simply deleting the depencies on the package.  Now ThinInstaller is detecting it correctly on my machines.  I am not exactly sure what version of Power Manager introduced this issue but simply removing the dependencies works for us.

  • BUG: Power Manager fails to autostart

    Alright, this topic is a continuation of my conversation with Lenovo support on Twitter, as it has been a while and we were unable to resolve this problem.
    Until recently I had Windows 7 x86 running perfectly normal with a number of ThinkVantage tools such as Power Manager, HDAPS protection, HotKey integration, etc. - all the bare necessities, though not the latest versions.
    Recently I've formatted everything and installed Windows 7 SP1 x64. Immediately after installation I've installed the latest versions of Power Manager, etc. from Lenovo Support website (i.e. not through System Update). Upon installation, the Power Manager gave me this error: 
    Every time I rebooted my computer, the same thing showed up and the Power Gauge was not showing in the taskbar. After a bit of looking around, I have found that in the following registry entry:  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\Curren​tVersion\Run in the value rundll32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\ThinkPad\UTILIT~1\PWMTR64V.DLL",PwrMgrBkGndM​onitor the quotes were missing. Once I put them in, the Power Gauge started to show up during start up, however the message did not disappear.
    Then I tried installing the APS protection which gave me a couple of the very same messages during installation. When the installation finished, I tried running the APS protection from the Control Panel, but it crashed every time.
    Highly dissatisfied with all this, I've formatted the hard drive again, installed the same version of Windows and installed the Power Manager the very minute it finished installing, to be sure no other applications intervene. The result was the same.
    From @lenovo on Twitter I've received an advice to uninstall the Power Manager and try installing it from System Update, however the same error message prevents me from uninstalling the Power Manager. I have also tried using the System Update to install the HDAPS (which I haven't installed this time), but it failed.
    So there's my story. Any help would be very appreciated, as never before have I had a single issue with Lenovo tools.
    Thanks!
    Solved!

    All right, I've gone through some experiments in the VMWare. Installing my modified image and then the Power Manager gave the same errors I am experiencing. However, when I used the untouched image, everything worked fine.
    So I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this topic and apologize to @Lenovo for taking their time with this issue.
    Yet I am very interested in what it is with the modified image that makes the Power Manager installation use paths like C:\Program Files (x86)\... instead of C:\Progra~2 like it happens with the normal image, which I just verified comparing registry entries. And also why the ThinkVantage tools are the only ones affected by this.
    But in any case, thanks to everyone again and I will accept this solution now.

  • Adobe Application Manager fails to install when I try to download CC

    I have tried to download CC but keep getting the error messate that Adobe Application Manager fails to install. How can I download CC?

    For Windows 8, 64-bit,
    I Renamed OOBE to OOBE_old located at
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    I then relaunched the Browser
    I went to https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
    I Signed in with Adobe ID and password.
    I clicked on the  download button but absolutely nothing was happening.
    You will find below a video showing what happens when I click the download button when OOBE is not renamed.

    I hope this bug will be fixed promptly because all my CC applications are now paid for a while and not yet presently accessible and useable.
    I feel, in all fairness, until the problem is fixed, Adobe should provide a credit.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • CC Adobe Application Manager fails to install...

    I just purchased Adobe CC (I'm a current CS6 Production Premium owner) and login in with my Adobe ID, attempted to download Adobe Photoshop CC and got the following error:
    Adobe Application Manager
    We've encountered the following issues:
    Adobe Application Manager failed to install.
    My system is Windows7 64bit.  I looked thru my Windows7 event logs and NO errors are being shown.
    I've attempted to contact "live chat support" but I appear to be on infinite "hold" with estimated wait that goes from 23 minutes to 22 minutes to 23 mintues to 22 minutes (has been doing this for 50 minutes now) -- I guess A LOT of people are having problems with CC.
    I gotta say, my "introduction" to Adobe Creative Cloud has definitely NOT been a good one.  If I can't get a solution soon, I'll just get a refund on my CC Subscription and look for alternate "creative" software.  Not a happy customer.  I suspected this CC subscription approach was going to be problematic, and it is!
    Rob

    I finally got thru to live support and they resolved the issue.
    1.  Moved a file omp.db from AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE to desktop (it gets re-created later)
    2.  Tried to install AAM again from download center, it failed
    3.  Downloaded AAM to a local dir and extracted and "Run as administrator" on Setup.exe, it still failed.
    4.  Went to download center on web and tried to download AAM, click download button on web site and it opens AAM and I logged in ... most bizarre
    I'm not really sure how or why this worked since the install still reported at Failed even when "Run as administrator", but AAM is working now and I was able to install other CC applications using it.
    I'm almost 100% certain this is a security issue with Adobe's installer, somewhere in the chain something isn't getting/requesting elevated trust so when the installer tries to proceed it's hitting an OS security violation which is preventing the install.  So you might want to take this bug back to your CC developers and let them know they've got a trust/permissions problem with their installer.

  • Why does Adobe Application Manager fail to install?

    I just subscribed to the Creative Cloud. I am trying to download applications.  The download starts with an update to Application Manager.  Each time, I get the error message,"We've encountered the following issues:  Adobe Application Manager failed to install."  I'm not able to install any of the CC applications.  [I've tried Acrobat and Photoshop.]

    I'm going to write this information cause it was so darn frustrating and after two days I finally got it - so here goes - resolution:
    I'm running windows 7, and was trying to download cloud which apparently I was forced to do based on my subscription base (was on CS6 before that)
    Step 1: start task manager and close ALL adobe running apps including akami session
    Step 2: click on the windows icon and type in search bar %appdata%, enter
    Step 3: in browser bar above of folder, click on "appdata" (my file directory when i typed step two was C:\Users\study\AppData\Roaming, and I need to be be at C:\Users\study\AppData)
    Step 4: Click Local, then Adobe, then oobe, delete the oobe file
    Step 5: Go the the following to download the "cleaner tool": http://download.macromedia.com/pub/creativecloud/cleanertool/win/Adobe_Creative_Cloud_Clea ner_Tool.zip
    Step 6: Unzip the file and click on the AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool.exe, that was in my directory as follows (dependent on where you download and unzip of course) C:\Users\study\Downloads\adobe_creative_suite_cleaner_tool (1)\win
    Step 7: select (e) in the black box for "english", select (y) for yes, select creative cloud (whichever option # that is) and again anything with creative cloud (this did NOT delete my other adobe files, which I feared may - but I was simply instructing it to clean/delete the creative cloud.
    Step 8: close the black window
    Step 9: Click here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773  and download the creative cloud adobe application manager
    Step 10: Run the application
    Step 11: Log in and download the software you want
    If that doesn't work, what I did is between steps 4 and 5 I restarted my computer, then I went into task manager and closed all adobe apps.  I'm not sure I had to do this step but I was desperate after 2 days doing whatever.  Each tech person gave me different information.  The last person helped me best, but I spoke with her via chat AFTER I had rebooted the computer.  If you need support click http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and I personally did the "chat" so I wouldn't have to wait.
    Hope this helps anyone who hasn't figured it out! 

  • Installing cs6 on a new laptop, I get error message "Adobe application manager failed to install"

    installing cs6 on a new laptop, I get error message "Adobe application manager failed to install"
    Is this because I need to deactivate cs5 on one of the computers?
    CS5 is on 2 old computers. I used Migration Assistant to migrate the applications to the new laptop which is a 3rd computer.
    What do I need to do?

    I used Migration Assistant to migrate the applications to the new laptop which is a 3rd computer.
    Forget that part. The apps won't work. Adobe apps must be installed properly. That may well explain your issues with CS6, too. Generalyl, though, there is no need to uninstall older versions...

    You should try this
    1. Rename the OOBE folder to OOBE.oldthe locations are 
    For windows
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE and C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE.
    For Mac :--
    Macintosh HD>Library>Applciation support>Adobe>OOBE . 
    Note: The library will be hidden in Mac OS X version 10.7 and later you can access the hidden library ie the root library by In the Finder, choose Go > Go To Folder.
    In the Go To Folder dialog, type ~/Library and click Go to access the hidden library.
    2. Go to www.creative.adobe.com and login with your Adobe Id.
    3. Under the tab 'Download Center' you will see an application named "Creative Cloud .
    4. Download Creative Cloud applicaiton. This Creative cloud app is an upgrade to the Adobe application manager.
    Thanks

  • What next? Photoshop CC download, Application Manager fails to install

    I have Photoshop CS6 already installed.  I am trying to also install Photoshop CC.  I am running Windows 7, 64 bit.  I went to the CC download site, clicked on Photoshop download, and the Adobe Application Manager started to update.  After several minutes I received the following error message: We've encountered the following issues: Adobe Application Manager failed to install."
    I tried this first using Chrome and then again using the Explorer browser.  Both failed.  What can I do next?!

    Rename OOBE to OOBE_old located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe (64bit)
    Relaunch the Browser
    Go to https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
    Sign in with Adobe ID and password and download CC desktop app.
    Note: In case it doesn't resolve the issue. Please revert the OOBE_old to original name.

  • Application Manager failed to install message

    I'm upgrading from PS CS6 to PS CC. When I begin the download process, I get an error message saying that App Manager failed to install. When I start the download I briefly get a message saying that the installer had a problem because another instance of App Manager was already running. That message disappears almost immediately and the install proceeds. The progress bar gets about 1/2 way done when the error message appears. I rebooted my machine (HP, quad core, 8 gig, Windows 7, running with admin privelages) just in case a stray app was running, but I continue to get this error message each time I try to install CC. PS CS6 works fine as does LR 5.

    I have solved my problem, but the solution was considerably easier than the one detailed in the above referenced posting. I was surprised at the number of people expressing similar issues as mine, but no obvious easy answer was ever offered. When I didn't get any response to my forum posting, I decided to do some searching on my own. When i looked at the system requitements for downloading and installing  this app, I noticed a brief statement saying that when you install a single application, like PS CC, the process should first install CC Desktop. The note stated that you could install it separately from the downloads.  However, if it doesn't already exist on the system, the application will install it itselft. This did not happen when I attempted to install PS CC. The installer did try to install Application Manager (not CC Desktop) and it ran into the problems I mentioned in my oriiginal posting. So, I went back to the downloads section and manually installed CC Desktop. Once it was installed (more about problems encountered with this installation below) I was able to install PS CC from the desktop application just fine. I repeated this process on my laptop, ran into the same issues, and resolved them by first manually installing CC Desktop. PS CC now runs fine on both systems.
    Installing CC Desktop had its own challenges. when I first tried to install it, the process proceeded for about 5 minutes, the porgress bar got about 1/2 way done and then I got a message saying that the installation failed and that I needed to first close all browsers. And then the installation quit. OK.Not sure why the installer couldn't have detected that the browser was open and instruct me to close it before continuing the installation process, but it didn't. It just failed. I closed my browser (IE 9), and tried again. This time I got a message saying that the installation failed because it needed admin privileges, this despite the fact that I'm the sole admiin on my machines. I tried one more time. This time I right clicked on the installation app and chose "Run as Administrator" and sure enough, the installation proceeded just fine. This seemed redunandant as I was already logged in as an admin, but no matter, it worked and now am successfully running PS CC.
    This has been a very strange experience. I have been used to enjoying rock solid installations on all of my Adobe products. This time, however, the process was ridiculously convoluted and obtuse. Clearly the developers need to revisit this and try to fix the problem as it seems to be fairly common. Obviously I don't know if my work around is specific to my circumstances or represents a design flaw. Either way it was no where near as easy as it should have been.
    On the flip side, once I got CC Desktop installed, I have been quite impressed w/ the one-stop shopping I enjoy for installing and upgrading my products. The application suggested I needed to upgrade my copy of PS CS6, which I did and that upgrade went flawlessly. So, once the installation hassles get resolved, I do think this is good way to manage my Adobe applications.

  • Lost Beats Audio Control Panel, Windows Experience Index and HP Power Manager on fresh install...

    HP Pavilion m6-1035dx, product B5S06UA#ABA
    Please help! I installed a 240gb SanDisk Extreme SSD and a fresh install of Win 7 home premium 64-bit OEM. I did not reinstall the factory OS and all that goes along with it. I have managed to reinstall all drivers (it seems) but am having the following problems: 1) I have installed IDT HD Audio Driver sp56953 but it does not provide the Beats Audio control panel, any idea how to get it? 2) The Windows Experience Index will not provide a performance evaluation, something in the system is providing it with an error message when it attempts to rate the system and it stops. 3) I have installed HP Power Manager sp57398 and can bring up the control panel but the changes I indicate will not stay applied, when I bring up Power Manager again it show that no selections are made. I knew this fresh install was going to provide headaches, please help if you can. Thanks.

    I suspect this may all be related to a common cause.
    When updating the windows experience index, what is the error message you receive?
    Has the video card driver been installed? It is necessary for the windows experience index to complete.
    Also, ensure the HP Software Framework is installed.  It is under the Software Solutions category.  
    You did a clean install of Windows 7. Has all the software and drivers for Windows 7 from HP been installed? Here is a link should you need it.
