Uninstaller utility does not remove the installation from the registry

In our environment, we publish a script in Group Policy so that both the ActiveX and Plugin installs for flash player are easily installed for staff that have limited user access on their computers.  I usually remove or replace the old MSI files from the path the above script installs from when I get new versions of Flash Player.  For a while, I've run into a problem where when the new MSI files are installed, they try to uninstall the existing installation and fail because the old MSI file is no longer at the original installation source path.  I've tried to remedy this by having the script use the uninstall_flash_player utility to manually remove the activex and plugin first, but this utility does not remove the installation details of each from the registry, and the subsequent installations of the MSI files fail.  I have to uninstall the existing flash player installations first or perform a registry hack to formally remove the installation from Windows, and then the new installation will succeed.
Does anybody have any advice for making this process work better?  Would this be considered a bug with the uninstaller tool?

  • WRT54GX2 does not pick up time from the network...

    I have a WRT54GX2 running firmware 1.01.14 and it does not pick up time from the network. I have PacBell (now AT&T) as an ISP and a DSL link. My old Netgear router picks up the time immediately. I am trying to figure out if I have a defective unit or if this is a firmware bug. Without the time, I can not use any of the scheduling functions, nor measure uptime.
    Does anyone have this router with the time working? I have set the appropriate time zone.
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Thanks for you ideas.
    The backup file appears to be binary. However in searching through it I did see 3 time related text strings, namely: clock.stdtime.gov.tw, time-b.nist.gov and time.nist.gov. I can successfully ping clock.stdtime.gov.tw and time.nist.gov. This reinforces my belief that my ISP (AT&T nee PacBell) is not blocking access.
    however ntp works on TCP port 123. ping works on udp 7 afaik. if your old netgear works i guess this is a router problem.
    have you reset the router yet? afaik press reset button for 10 seconds.
    you will however loose all settings and need to enter them again. it may however fix the issue.Message Edited by linksysinfo on 07-09-2006 03:09 AM

  • TS2529 itunes does not let me restore from the last backup of my recently upgraded to 5.1 iphone

    I recently updated from 4.2.1 to 5.1 and now itunes does not show me the "restore from the backup of..." option. It doesn't even let me restore from any backup. I found the backup in the library and made a backup of it just in case. How can I restore from this backup if Itunes doesn't give me the option?
    Please help!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    go to iTunes/Settings and see if "Apps" is selected in General/Show:
    If yes, your App folder should be listed under "library" in the left window in iTunes again.
    There is no extra App folder listed when you click on your device in the device list.
    German version:
    Im Menü iTunes/Einstellungen/Allgemein nachschauen, ob bei "Anzeigen" die Auswahl "Apps" aktiviert ist. Danach sollte der App Ordner unter dem Punkt "Mediathek" wieder auftauchen.
    Wenn das Telefon in der Geräteliste markiert ist, gibt es den App Ordner nur auf der rechten Seite.

  • Incomplete Data on report (report does not show all records from the table)

    Hello,
    I have problem with CR XI, I'm running the same report on the same data with simple select all records from the table (no sorting, no grouping, no filters)
    Sometimes report shows me all records sometimes not. Mostly not all records on the report. When report incomplete sometimes it shows different number of records.
    I'm using CR XI runtime on Windows Server 2003
    Any help appreciated
    Thanks!

    Sorry Alexander. I missed the last line where you clearly say it is runtime.
    A few more questions:
    - Which CR SDK are you using? The Report Designer Component or the CR assemblies for .NET?
    - What is the exact version of CR you are using (from help | about)
    - What CR Service Pack are you on?
    And a troubleshooting suggestion:
    Since this works on some machines, it will be a good idea to compare all the runtime (both CR and non CR) being loaded on a working and non working machines.
    Download the modules utility from here:

  • Trackpoint does not work after switching from the tablet to laptop mode.

    I use my tablet to run a smartboard. Sometimes when I switch to the tablet mode and back by reversing the display, the trackpoint and mouse keys stop working. The touchpad below it still works.

  • Can an iPhoto library that does not exist be recreated from the AlbumData.xml file?

    Our iMac hard drive recently got corrupted and we hadn't backed up. (I know, I know, stupid, stupid, stupid. Won't make that mistake again!) The comptuer folk we took it too were able to recover most of the data on the drive, but my iPhoto library was not one of them.  I don't have the library - the file is gone. But I do have the AlbumData.xml file.  Is there any way to recreate the library from that file alone? I've tried it with iPhoto Library Manager and it wants me to have a default library for which this file is associated. I don't have that.  Is there any way to get this data back?  Some friends had trusted us with their wedding pictures. (I know, I know, stupid, stupid, and again, stupid. They won't make that mistake again!) I'd really, really, love to get them back if it's at all possible from this one file I do have.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    No
    iPhoto is a SQL database and you can only create the database (the iPhoto library) using a SQL editor - using iPhoto is the best
    The database has many components and all of them must be there with exact names and in an exact structure to work
    The only way you could rereate the library is from the photos (depending on the version of iPhoto you had they would have been in the originals or masters folder)
    And yes - it is unfortuante but you have learned the most simple and basic lesson of computers - If you do not have a good current backup (I have multiple daily backups plus occasional offsite backups) you will eventually lose all of your data including your photos

  • Mail does not show all mails from the same sender

    Hello,
    I have a problem with Mail - maybe an undiscovered bug? I play lotto on the free online platform www.freelotto.com. Each day freelotto sends me 6 mail receipts for any individual lotto game I took part of. The sender is always the same in each of these mails.
    When I receive these mails on my iphone I got all the six mails I expected. The same on my ipad. But in Mail on my Mac (same settings) I got just four. Two mails are always missing!!! I have no idea why. The are not in the SPAM or any other folder (also not in the recycle bin). They are just missing at all. I also checked my mail provider but those two mails are not longer on the mail server. So Mail must have received them - but does not list them.
    What can I do?

  • In Flash the sound does not play only started from the beginning. Can anyone please help?

    In Flash, the sound only plays if the file is started from the beginning. The sound doesn't play if starting from anywhere other than the beginning.
    This is very frustrating when trying to sync the animation with the sound as it's not possible to scroll back and forward with the sound playing. The only way the sound works is if it is started from the beginning.
    If anyone can help that would be fantastic.
    Thanks

    Many thanks for your help. Here is some additional information, which may shed light on the problem.

    The computer I'm using is then iMac running OSX version 10.9.3 Build 13D65 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
    I am using Flash, not a web-based editor that leverages Flash Player.

  • I'm trying to install Windows XP on my Leopard 10.5.8 using Boot Camp Assistant but when it restarts it says I should insert a bootable disk even though I didn't remove the installer from the drive. What should I do?

    More info: I'm using an external CD drive because the built-in one doesn't work for some reason.
    Also I went back and deleted the partition (also using Boot Camp Assistant) and just gave up on installing XP, but now every time I turn on my macbook I have to press the Option key to mount the Mac HD. If I don't, it returns to the black screen that says I have to insert the bootable disk and press any key. How do I stop this problem? I've already verified the disk and permissions, plus repaired it. It's still the same.

    Go into your system preferences and click the startup disk icon then select your Mac HD.

    Make sure that you can tnsping your Oracle DB. I have installed HTMLDB recently and also couldn't connect to my HTMLDB, only to Oracle HTTP server. However, as soon I got my Oracle networking done correctly, and tnsping to my DB, I also could connect to HTMLDB.
