To: MSI and American Megatrends

I have a MSI K9A Platinum (MS-7280). I just bought a USB wireless mouse. At boot up, "PS/2 MOUSE NOT FOUND" "F2 - CONTINUE" "ESC - 10, 9, 8, 7........"
I know there is a work around, set don't stop on errors in BIOS.
My point is does MSI and American Megatrends know that USB devices were invented a long time ago?

I have the same motherboard and processor as you and have flashed to the latest official bios (1.4) without any problems. My system hangs on post sometimes, but only hangs when trying to detect the CD Rom drives. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just hangs, I fixed the problem by putting the CD Rom drive beneath the harddrive in the boot order. As long as you have Windows installed you shouldn't need to boot to CD very often. I have also encountered the XP Bitmap showing up as faded for a second or two, but mine always brightens up and boots up. I have no idea what the problem may be with that, I would guess that it is driver related in some way. The best thing to do would be to try a couple of different VGA drivers over the course of a few days and see if the results differ in any way. To find out the best timings for your RAM download and run CPU-Z. That will give you the SPD timings, which should eliminate any RAM associated problems. Definately set the RAM timings yourself, because allowing the bios to configure things made my RAM run at 333 fsb speeds. I wouldn't think that booting off of the 30GB drive should cause you any major issues if all you have on it is your main Windows partition and the data you access is kept on other drives. It may be a second or two slower to boot, but as long as you put your games and hard drive intensive programs on a faster drive you should have no annoyingly slow problems.

Hi offsmack. As the forum is for users of MSI products, I don't see any specific MSI hardware in your post. The moderators will probably lock this thread.

New to MSI and AMD... have some questions

Quick background for you guys before I dig in... This is my first AMD and MSI system so I'm less sure of what the good and bad practices are as I've always been an Intel person. However, since Intel hasn't really been keeping up I decidied on AMD for this system upgrade.
Anyhow, here is a list of my current specs before I get into my questions:
AMD64 3500+ (939, 90nm)
MSI Neo2 Platinum NForce 3 Ultra
1GB Corsair XMS TWINX1024-3200C2PT Link
BFG 6800 GT OC DDR3
Booting to a 30GB 7200rpm Western digital but also have an 80GB IBM Deskstar and a 300GB Maxtor 16mb cache Sata drive
Now for the questions/issues.
#1) I'm using all of the latest drivers from MSI and Nvidia for the motherboard and graphics card. I'd like to get to the lates bios version, however I've heard that there is an issue with upgrading this board when it has the a winchester (90nm) core processor installed. Is this true or should I go ahead and update?
2) While this may be bios related, the system sometimes hangs on the post. Usually when it is detecting the memory or going from the memory check to the ide checks.
3) Also may be bios related: about 30% of the time when booting and switching from the post to the windows load screen the monitor goes blank (not losing signal,just no screen) or the XP bitmap appears very very very faded and the pc never boots up. What eventually happens is that I have to reset or power off and reboot. The OS detects an improper boot and gives the boot options. Most of the time normal boot works, but sometimes the same situation occurs.
Thanks for reading, and any suggestions would be highly appriciated.

I am trying to remove the older version of iTunes but an error message appears saying that it cannot find the path to 'iTunes64.msi", and I tried the search option to find it on my computer but no such luck. Please help me

I am trying to remove the older version of iTunes but an error message appears saying that it cannot find the path to 'iTunes64.msi", and I tried the search option to find it on my computer but no such luck. Please help me

Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:

Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.

JRE 1.4.2_10 Silent install using MSi and JRE 5.0_06

I have been unable to install JRE 1.4.2_10 using the msi and mst silently. My company requires all applications be installed using and msi not an exe. and with no user intervention. I can install using the msi and mst but not silently,.
Also it does not allow me to choose IE as the default browser. I change the setting in the MST for IE, but this does not work, I still have to manually go in and change it after the install.
I have the same issue with version 5.0_06. This does allow me to choose IE as the default browser but does not install silently.
I am installing on Windows 2000 SP4.

Can't help you with the MSI/MST part of your question directly, however we use the following command line:
jre-1_5_0_04-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v" /qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore,extra IEXPLORER=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress JAVAUPDATE=0 SYSTRAY=0"
You might be able to make IEXPLORER=1 work for you via the MSI?
Additionally, you can manage JRE settings via the following method -
Place a file called 'deployment.config' in the following location:
%SystemRoot%\Sun\Java\Deployment
This file can act as a pointer to a configuration file (aka jre.properties)
The contents of 'deployment.config' would look like (as an example):
deployment.system.config=file://///servername/share/jre.properties
'jre.properties' would then contain this like:
deployment.version=1.5.0
deployment.browser.path=C\:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe
deployment.javaws.version=javaws-1.4.2_05

When will Adobe release "AdbeRdr1011_en_US.msi" and "AdbeRdr1011_ja_JP.msi"?

I can see it is available in other languages already (since 2011/09/29):
Greek - ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.1/el_GR/ - MSI and EXE
Arabic - ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.1/ar_AE/- MSI and EXE
Hebrew - ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.1/he_IL/ - MSI and EXE
But for some reason we are here almost 2 months later and it is not available in English, Japanese, etc....
English - ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.1/en_US/ - EXE only
Japanese - ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.1/ja_JP/ - EXE only
Could someone at Adobe please explain or rectify this? We are planning to upgrade all our users from Adobe Reader 8.x, which has now reached end of support (thanks for the not so early warning Adobe), and we need to ready our testing and deployments. We will only deploy with MSI based packages. If it does not become available we will have to go to Adobe Reader 9 instead. Appreciate any support on this. Thanks.

Howdy,
First, the end of support for a particular version is usually set 2 years in advance. It should not be a surprise to anyone. Go here: http://www.adobe.com/support/products/enterprise/eol/eol_matrix.html#86.
The release strategy for updates is fairly straightforward:
MSIs are rarely released because they are more complicated to build, configure, and deploy. MSIs are released when the second dot increments and are usually available in all languages. Some of the least used languages are created an a slightly different schedule (e.g. Greek, Hebrew, Arabic).
Most updates/patches are MSPs which should simplify the work for IT. Nothing is uninstalled when using an MSP and any existing enterprise configuration persists. These updates are not language specific and can be applied over any MSI of any language.
It should be clear from the kb note 88814 (above), the Admin Guide, and the Release Notes that there is not and won't be a 1011 JP MSI because you don't need one. Install the MSP over your MSI (whatever its language).
On a side note, there is an EXE on the Reader Download Center for JP and 4 other languages, but these aren't usually used by IT. No reason why they can't be used if it doesn't interfere with your deployment methodology.
Most admins get their updates from the ftp site above. You can go here if you'd like: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows, but the FTP site delivers the actual installers so you can consider that the Real Truth about what's available.
All of the resources you need to configure and deploy Acrobat products in enterprise settings are here: http://www.adobe.com/go/acrobatitinfo. If something is not clear, please post again (preferrably in the Acrobat Enterprise Deployment forum).

Can I have both Shockwave msi and Shockwave Exe installed in a same system??

Can I have both Shockwave msi and Shockwave Exe installed in a same system??

This is my experience with MSI, and their NVIDIA GTX 570 reference card.

Hello my name is James king.
and This is my experience with MSI, and their NVIDIA GTX 570 reference card.
(5/27/12) Day one. I update my driver from Beta 301.24 To WHQL 301.42. and as you would expect, it worked. so i restart and go play kerbal space program (if you haven't played this go, play it now i love it) 5 minutes later it starts artifacting, eg. textures stretching, random green spots. "ugh" so i start troubleshooting, reinstall revert and so on. later i give up and go play Portal 2, i load the game opening screen i see lots (100-250) of little flickering green dots. first instincts says its the cable, test nope. then maybe the screen, test nope. i keep testing throughout the night, to no avail.
(5/28/12) so to the internet, for help. 3 hours later nothing, but people with bad cards. at opening i call NVIDIA Tech Support, they say to call MSI so i do. 3 calls no pick up, 4th call and i get a "Support technician" who is no help, says to fill out a RMA form online. and so i do more troubleshooting for the rest of the day. and i give up, and go to bed.
(5/29/12) i fill out a RMA form, end of day i get an email from MSI that says; "Dear Valued Customer [email] your RMA is pending approval, and you will get an email within 1 weak with shipping information.
(6/1/12) shipping information, instructions, but no shipping label.
(6/4/12) i ship the card, via UPS
(6/12/12) after using the most round about route eg. it got to MSI.
United States 06/04/2012 6:40 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

(6/13/12) email from MSI, says they got it.
(6/14/12) email from MSI, says it is in procesing.
(6/20/12) email from MSI, saying they shipped it and that [this] is the tracking number.
(6/26/12) end of day. i receive the card, and see the case is badly scratched. i install it in my pc and hey it worked (for now). watch some YouTube, and go to play skyrim. start up load my save and i make one step, and my pc hard freezes. "sigh" half an hour later, i give up and go play minecraft 10 minutes in, and it hard freezes. so now more troubleshooting,5 hours later no luck.
(6/27/12) i have called MSI Tech Support 2 times, when they picked up the phone they say to call customer service. 7 calls later no pickup.
and that is it MSI have sent my on the run around too long.

Where are SQLDOM.msi and SqlSysClrTypes.msi for SQL 2014?

On the SQL Server 2014 Feature Pack page (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42295), under Data-Tier Application Framework, it says:
Note: Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Data-tier Application Framework requires Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types, and Microsoft SQL Server Transact-SQL ScriptDom both of which are available on this page.
Those things are on that page but, the files are not links so they cannot be downloaded.
Where can I find SQLDOM.msi and SqlSysClrTypes.msi for SQL Server 2014?

Silent install using the MSI and incorporating the activation

Good Morning,
I am trying to do a silent install of contribute for SCCM 2007 using the MSI and although the install works i can't figure out how to get the activation and registration silent as well.
I have tried using admin stuido (SCCM version) and adding the registry keys but that is not working.
Does anyone have any idea how this can be done?
I appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks,
NS2057

In case you are deploying CS5, then I would suggest you to refer the Creative Suite Enterprise Deployment Guide -
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html
The Deployment Guide would provide you with information on how to supress these behaviours.
The above page also has a similar guide for CS4 deployment as well and also the links to download the Adobe Deployment Toolkits.
Hope this helps .

Itunes6464.MSI and failure to uninstall

I cant get the program to install and the updater and raw download methods complains about not being able to remove the previous version. I tried uninstalling iTunes by hand and refused with the 'itunes64.msi' cannot be found. All the other programs can and were removed. When it downloads it comes as 'tunes6464.msi' and I cant change the name. Help?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

Flash Player 16 PPAI available in MSI and EXE form for distribution?

Hi,
Do we have Flash Player 16 PPAI plugin available in MSI and EXE form for distribution?
Where can we find that?
Thanks,
Prakash

Hi Prakash,
Sorry for the delay and confusion about the application process. That was my fault as I thought your application through our normal channel would at least flag a manual response from the team that works on licensing.
As it stands, we're currently working through legal and logistical issues for PPAPI distribution. We hope to have a mechanism in place in the coming months. I should also note that we do not have plans at this time to create an MSI or PKG version of the ppapi installer. Of course, we'll reevaluate if there's demand.
I'd like to understand your use case a bit better. Would you mind dropping me an email at [email protected] and explaining how you'll be using the ppapi build and how many clients you expect to distribute to?
Thanks,
Chris
