Trouble with Filemaker Installation Package-User Issue

I'm have an issue with a downloaded update from Filemaker (.dmg). When I open the file the Installation Package that we all see is a blank icon. Says it wants to open with Adobe PageMaker. If I change user to another I have set up, the package icon is correct and I can install the program. Unfortunately it is for the wrong user. Filemaker tech guy said it had to do with permissions. So I repaired disk permissions with Disk Utility. No good. What else can I do? Any ideas. I don't want to create a whole new user/administrator, since I have hundreds of programs linked to it.

    Managed to get the installation sorted. Go to Control Panel, and where you have a list of all installed programs, repair all the Apple/Itunes related programs. Installation worked fine after that. Hopefully it helps you out too!

  • Trouble with itunes upgrade I receive an error message problem with windows installer package

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • Any trouble with Mavericks installation?

    Any trouble with Mavericks installation?

    I too have upgraded four of my Macs to Mavericks and had no problems at all with any of them. One of the flaws of discussion groups is that one gets a skewed idea of the number of problems that users have because it is human nature to complain about something, whilst the majority of users who don't have a problem seldom bother to remark on this fact!
    I, like most of the successful upgraders here, always follow a simple routine that involves firstly backing up, then (if upgrading multiple Macs) creating a bootable drive with the updater on, using Disk Utility or similar to repair permissions before upgrading the OS. I never use the Mac when upgrading and close all the programs and disconnect all external drives, save for the one with the updater on.
    Following this routine means that I have never had a problem with an update since OS 7.5 on any of my 16 odd Macs. Of course, smugness always comes before a fall...!

    Go to "control panel" then "add or remove programs".  Highlight "Apple software update"  Choose "change" click "Repair"  This should do the trick.  Then download and install iTunes 10.5 again.

    Firstly, are you installing iTunes for the first time or are you updating your current version of iTunes?
    If you're installing iTunes for the first time have you tried redownloading the installer package? Perhaps the file you downloaded originally is corrupted...
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If you've tried that, then try installing iTunes as your computer's administrator. To do this right-click the install package and choose "Run as administrator".
    If you're updating iTunes to the most recent version try repairing the Apple Software Update program on your computer. It's under the add/remove programs.
    1. Open the control panel
    2. Open Add/Remove programs (called "Programs and Features" in Windows 7)
    3. Navigate to "Apple Software Update" in the list and click on it
    4. Click on "Change" then select "Repair" (or just select the repair option in Windows 7)
    Once you repair this, try running iTunes and the update again.
    Fingers crossed!

  • HT1349 Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.

    Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
    Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

    I pulled my brains out trying to figure this bug out and I may have a solution for you.
    All of it installed fine in my desktop, but a friend's laptop got the error you mentioned on quicktime, itunes, flash, officeXP and about anything else I tried to load for him.
    If you look in: C:\documents and settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp there will be an iTunes install log...open it in Notepad and see if it isn't exiting with a 1619 error while running msiexec.exe
    If this is the case, this fix should work for you.
    Seems some configurations of XP (and possibly Vista) aren't allowing full administrator rights to the account you set up when you installed XP (even though User Editor says you do have those rights.)
    I read 2 MS articles and turned off simple file sharing, then gave ownership of the entire C: drive to the administrator. Logged the admin account off, logged his "admin" account in, and then gave rights to his personal directory to his account (c:\docs and settings\<username>)
    Once I did that, every install that had previously errored out performed flawlessly.
    The MS articles in question:
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316309 (1619 error)
    and
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308419 (how to set special permissions)
    Hope this helps!

  • Problem with Windows Installer package.  A required program couldn't be run

    Hello -
    I have a problem re-installing iTunes on my Windows Vista computer.
    This is my exact message - note NO Error Codes included:
    There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
    Other similar problems to this that I've seen from Google searches have error codes included or different wording. This is exactly what I see.
    Leading up to this, my printer had unexpectedly uninstalled itself (card readers were Drive H) and my external hard drive (which used to be Drive G) and the printer's card reader swapped drive letters all by themselves so now the printer/card reader is Drive G and the External hard drive is Drive H.
    then I found that iTunes and QuickTime had also uninstalled themselves and I was getting BlueScreen of Death crashes.
    I had to manually delete as many iTunes and QuickTime folders, shortcuts, etc that I could find since I couldn't do a proper Uninstall.
    Now the computer is absolutely perfect (no more BlueScreen crashes) except I cannot reinstall iTunes and QuickTime - I get the message above.
    Can anyone please help me?
    Thank you!

  • SCCM - Image/OS Installation Package Permissions issue

    Hello,
    I receive the following error message when I try to import a .wim image
    (from the Vista DVD) as an Operating System Image or when I try to add the
    entire Vista ROM as an Operating System Install Package:
    "The specified source directory does not contain a valid operating system or
    you do not have permissions to access it. Please specify a valid source
    directory."
    The error changes slightly when importing a .wim to:
    "The specified source directory does not contain a valid WIM file or you do
    not have permissions to access it. Please specify a valid path."
    I've tried multiple .wim images in multiple shares- I've always specified
    the .wim image name on the import line when importing a wim or the directory
    path when importing the whole OS ROM.
    I've mounted both .wim files to verify that they are valid.
    I have changed the network access account I specified in Computer Client
    Agent settings to a domain admin and verified that the credentials are
    correct. I've added granular NTFS and share permissions to the domain admin
    network access account I'm using.
    I've rebooted the server.
    I've tried importing from a share on another server (same errors).
    This must be permissions related but I can't find the incorrect setting. Any
    help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Grant

    I have the same issue with my installation.
    WAIK was installed with SCCM as supposed.
    No way to import .WIM images.
    This is what OSDImageProperties.log states:
    Opening image file \\de1-s039\osd\Images\ReferenceImage7700.wim
    Unable to open the image file (0x80070005)
    Opening image file \\de1-s039\osd\Images\install.wim
    Unable to open the image file (0x80070005)
    Any Ideas on this?

    Hi,
    I like many others choose to update to itunes 10. Straight after installing the software itunes was not working. :s I was annoyed! So follow a message board followed the instructions. Uninstalled it complete, out of Program files everywhere even downloaded a really good uni-installer program to clean everythin up.
    Now Quick Time 7.6 installs. iTunes 10 gets all the way to the end then you get a error message: "THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS INSTALLER PACKAGE. A PROGRAM REQUIRED FOR THIS INSTALL TO COMPLETE COULD NOT BE RUN CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT PERSONNEL OR PACKAGE VENDOR."
    Somebody please help me my life is dull with out the constant flow of new music onto my ipod. :((
