USB Errors while trying to install 64 bit Arch

I'm trying to install Arch onto some brand new hardware. I am installing using the Arch Netboot environment.
When I try to install 64 bit Arch, I get the following errors straight after archiso.img is downloaded and the kernel is booted:
usb 2-5: device descriptor read/64, error -32
usb 2-5: device descriptor read/64, error -32
usb 2-5: device descriptor read/64, error -32
usb 2-5: device descriptor read/64, error -32
usb 2-5: device not accepting address 4, error -32
usb 2-5: device not accepting address 5, error -32
hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 5
The same lines appear for usb 4-1, 6-5 and 7-1. The only USB device that is plugged in is the USB key that I booted ipxe.lkrn from.
Googling seems to point to a kernel module that needs to be loaded earlier or a faulty USB controller. I do not know how to change what kernel modules are used during installation, and I'm fairly certain the USB controllers are fine. Its a brand new motherboard and I can access my USB key fine (I can boot from it) in any of the available USB ports.
I was close to giving up until for some reason I decided to try and install the 32 bit version of Arch instead. This worked as expected and I am sent to the archiso installation prompt without seeing any of the same USB errors.
Can someone please assist me with this? I would really prefer to have the 64 bit version installed.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=158206
This seems to be related, although my errors are giving error -32 instead of -110.
Is there a way I can force the installation environment to use kernel 3.7.6? Does the 32 bit installer use a different kernel to the 64 bit installer?
Is there a way I can use the 32 bit installation environment to install 64 bit as well as the 3.7.6 kernel?

Error while trying to install SAP CE 7.1 EHP 1 on Windows 7

I am trying to install SAP CE 7.1 EHP 1 on Windows 7. I am getting below error while trying to install. can you please help to fix this problem?
Running msiexec failed with return code 1603: undefined
Commandline was msiexec.exe /norestart /L sapmmcX86u.log /i sapmmcX86u.msi /qn
If you want the installer to retry, choose Yes. If you want the installer to abort the installation, choose No.
Thanks,
Sridhar.

I donu2019t think so it is windows 7 or 64/32 bit hardware/software issue. I have faced u201Cmsiexec failed with return code 1603u201D error many times during SAP installation and solved this issue with below mentioned procedure.
Solution:
Just change the location of temp directory to empty folder in user environment variable without cancel installation in current user session. After that, click on yes button to continue the installation. If installation will ended after click on yes button, restart the installation with continue old installation option.
Regards.

Error while trying to install Oracle 8.15 on Redhat 6.1

I have been trying to install Oracle 8i (8.15) on my machine but I got an error while trying to run runInstaller:
Initializing java virtual machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre. Please wait
Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
: Bad Address
FYI:
- I downloaded the Oracle 8i from the technet download site (I am not using a CD)
- I am using Redhat 6.1
- I downloaded and installed JRE as advised in the documentation.
- My machine is a AMD K6, so is non-intel but I have not noticed any other problems using Redhat.
- I currently only have 96MB RAM as opposed to the recommended 128MB.
Please Help!!!
null

(All comments are based on redhat 6.0, not sure about other distros)
If u are only using one linux machine, then I don't think you need to have 'DISPLAY' defined. Unset it then. This variable tells X clients where to display its X output. If unsetting does not make it work, then try 'export DISPLAY=ip_address:0.0' and then 'xhost +ip_address', where ip_address is the IP of your machine, or try 127.0.0.1.
If u have two linux machines, like what I did:
* Ran X on client machine (192.168.0.2).
* Telnet to server machine (192.168.0.1 - where 8i will be installed), login as 'oracle'
* On the telnet session, I 'su' as root then mounted the CD, then 'exit' to return to the 'oracle' login on the telnet session.
* On the telnet session, I did 'export DISPLAY=192.168.0.2:0.0' - telling it that all X clients on this telnet session will send its X output to the host on 192.168.0.1.
* On the client machine (where X is running), opened another shell, did a 'xhost +192.168.0.1' - telling the X server on the client machine to accept X connections from the server machine (192.168.0.1).
* Went back to the telnet session to the server machine, then ran the installer.
In short, everything you do can be done remotely, apart from putting the CD on the server machine.
The installer runs on the server but send its output to the client.

1603 error while trying to install skype

I'm having an issue while trying to install Skype on this computer, when I try to install it, it pops up and says "Object Already Exists" and then I get a second window saying "Error 1603 has occured: Fatal Error During Installation." I had Skype and it told me I needed to update so I clicked it and I've been getting this message ever sense. I tried to find Skype to uninstall it but after clicking that update the program was gone. So I went into Program files and deleted all skype related things and tried to download and install again. Got the same message. Please help!

You have to reboot for that fix to work. If you already did this then for whatever reason the solution didn't work on your machine (possibly due to some other corruption). The issue you are having is not Skype based but Windows/OS installer based. Try to install the latest Windows updates to see if that will fix the issue as newer Windows updates were designed to address that problem. If you have already tried that then remove the problematic Windows updates that causes this issue on some computers.

Error while trying to install WS2012 R2 Essentials evaluation copy

While trying to install (Setup.exe) the evaluation copy of Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials which I downloaded from the Microsoft site, after clicking on install and the temporary files start to unpack, I received the following error:
Windows cannot open required file C:\Users\Donald\Desktop\Windows Server 2012 Essentials\9600.16384.WINBLUE_RTM.130821-1623_X64FRE_SERVER_SOLUTION_EN-US-IRM_SSSO_X64FRE_EN-US-DV5\Sources\install.wim. Make sure all files required for installation are
available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x8007000B
I checked in the sources folder and install.wim is present. Should I suspect the file is corrupt? This was extracted from the downloaded 9600.16384.WINBLUE_RTM.130821-1623_X64FRE_SERVER_SOLUTION_EN-US-IRM_SSSO_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5.ISO file.
Thanks

Hi,
As Dave mentioned, maybe the ISO is corrupted. Please try to download it again to see if the issue persists.

Access denied error while trying to install graphics drivers

Hello,
I have a new toshiba laptop P70-A. I have installed windows 7 and the pc was working excellent up until now. Noticed yesterday that the nvidia automated system failed to install the new update. When I tried to install the new driver manually, even from the
device manager, I got the access denied message.
A day now wasted reading all the possible causes and solutions but with no luck. Read all the forums and all the posts, tried almost everything. Below youll find everything I tried as a solution and failed.
1.Disabled UAC
2.Enabled the administrator account and trying to take control from there
3.Run the subinacl and the reset.cmd
4.Tried manually to take control the folder windows (and access denied while changing the rights)
5. Scanned the system with everything there is available ( Kaspersky, MalwareBytes, RegCurePro, Tuneup Utilities, CCleaner) The system came out clean.
6. Tried restoring the system to an earlier time (got again access denied error code 0x80070005)
7. Checked all the group policies (all seem to be fine)
8. Run a script to take immediate ownership over all of C:
TAKEOWN /A /F C:
then the next one
TAKEOWN /F C:
9. With subinacl I run all the above scripts... (still nothing changed)
@echo off

Thanks in Advance and sorry for the long post

Hello,
Thanks for the replies, i much appreciate it. I tried all of the above with no luck again. Safe mode allows me though to install drivers but thats reverting the moment im entering windows. Im always running commands and programs as a administrator or in
the Admin enabled account.
It seems the problem is solved today. Via tune up utilities I disabled most of the startup programs and services and it seems that 1 service is causing this issue. Although I havent played much with the disabled services but 3 remain to be checked. One of
the three is causing this.
Thanks again guys and Ill keep you posted about the soft. conflict.

Error while trying to install printer on Airport Express

Hi,
I'm trying to install a HP Deskjet 3930 on my Macbook through the Airport Express. I'm getting an error:
An error occured while trying to add the selected printer Error:-9672
Anyone have any ideas?

BINGO!!
After trying every driver possible (and there were many...), I finally got my HP Deskjet 3930 to print through Bonjour. Here's how:
1. Reset the printing system with Printer Setup Repair from fixamacsoftware.com
2. Add a new printer with Printer Setup Utility
3. Select the HP 3930 connected through Bonjour
4. Instead of using the default HP driver, select the HP PSC 1110 Foomatic/hpijs driver (available at http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/)
I've tested the printer on a variety of print jobs and so far everything seems to be working smoothly. I should probably note that this driver does not grant access to the printer utilities, but at least it works.
Hopefully someone finds this useful.

Go to Solution.

I don't have a similar machine to look at so this is a bit of a guess:
Per page 30 or your user's guide http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/lenovo_g400sg400stouchg500sg500stouchg405sg505s_ug_e...:
How can I start the BIOS setup utility?
To start the BIOS setup utility:
1 Shut down the computer.
2 Press the Novo button and then select BIOS Setup
There should be a tab labelled something like "Configuration" and on that page something like "SATA controller mode". Select "compatible" and save and exit.
I'm not certain this will fix your problem, but it's worth a try.

Windows Installer error while trying to install Acrobat Reader 8

I am trying to install Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 off the CS3 disc. I already have Acrobat 8 Professional (8.2.3) installed. I just need the Reader. Whenever I try to install the Reader I get the following error, "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnal for assistance."
I have tried all the Microsoft fixes for this situation, but I still keep getting the error message. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Nevermind, I figured out what was wrong. I had disabled User Account Control (UAC) when I was tweaking my OS. So I enabled UAC again and was able to install Acrobat Reader 8 without any problems.

What are your source/target install directories. The installer seems unable to find the root drive.
To run the cleaner tool make sure you are running it as a user with admin privileges.
If the problems don't go please post the logs from these locations :-

When the iMac boots up a black screen (windowslike) appear saying : "no bootable device insert...etcetc and press any key"
First of all i'm using an external dvd reader because since i've upgraded to mavericks my superdrive stopped working (another big issue i've found out these days).
Then i've also tried making an usb bootable device....same black screen appeared.
I've been searching on the internet for days now without luck.
I believe i've tried everying but this funky situation keeps occourring.
I need to say that I installed windows on my iMac in the past and everything worked just fine, more then fine!
I need help please because i need windows on this machine due to working deadlines.
I'm desperate.
Help.
