Will Windows XP Home Edition UPGRADE with SP2 install?

Supposedly this disc can do a full install. I just wonder if it might create problems during installation with BC needing a previous Windows disc (does it actually require the disc to be inserted or just the key/sn?). I only ask because it could save $$ having to buy the full version. But I don't want to waste $$ on this if it doesn't install.

Hi Sakahara,
the XP upgrade disc need indeed a previous Windows disc to be inserted during installation.
Or a previous Windows version to be installed prior to the upgrade.
It is not just entering a SN/key.
Since both is not possible with BootCamp, you can't use a XP upgrade disc.
With the Vista upgrade discs, this can be overcome with a sort of 'double'-installation of it, but this procedure does not work with the XP upgrade discs.

Stefan

Can we install SAP server on Windows 7 Home edition

Dear All,
I have a new laptop that has windows 7 home edition. Can we install SQL2008, SAP server, SAP client on that laptop? I didn't see it from SAP portal. I guess the answer might be no. But just want to see if there is any lucky answer. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Yuka

Dear Yuka,
Unfortunately the answer is no. Windows 7 Home edition may not even support Client only. Professional, Enterprise & Ultimate Edition are supported for B1 client.
Thanks,

MANY issues after installing Windows XP Home Edition with Boot Camp

I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: "This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?" When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
How do I fix this problem?
Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
D: Some of these problems may not be specifically "Application" related, but the top one mainly is. (in my views)
~Twilight

Twilight:
Is it possible that you installed Windows XPSP1 instead of the required SP2? If yes then that is cause of all of your issues listed in your post. You have no sound and you cannot connect wirelessly because you still have been unable to install the boot camp drivers when you inserted the leopard disk.
Please double check to see which version of windows XP did you install. Remember, you need windows XPSP2 for all this to work.
Now, in the event that you installed XPSP1 then you will need to get to the microsoft windows site on a different computer and burn the Service Pack 2 for windows XP on a CD. After that boot your apple mac to XP side and insert the Service Pack 2 disk and install the pack. After that, it will ask you to restart the computer which you must and then once fully booted into XP then insert the leopard CD again and see if takes and installs all the necessary drivers.

Problem with PC Suite and Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit

I installed PC Suite on my desktop with Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit installed. I was able to eventually run PC Suite (granted it needed to run in XP SP2 compatibility mode) and sync my calendar on my W518a cell phone with PC Suite via Bluetooth communications. After I turned off my computer and restarted it, I could no longer open up PC Suite...its icon appears in my system tray with a red X over it as if it can't find the program.
The SonyEricsson website indicates PC Suite can run with Windows 7.
What is causing the problem I am having? How do I get this corrected?

I have downloaded and reinstalled the PC Suite software. Although it is not working as well as it should, as long as I have my cell phone on with Bluetooth enabled prior to clicking on the icon to open the application, it seems to work OK. Otherwise, when it opens, it just hangs and the only way you can close the program is to get into Task Manager and force it closed when its status is showing as "Not Responding". I also have found that just "closing" the PC Suite window does not close the application...you have to click on the option to "Exit the Application" otherwise you continue to have it in your system tray with a red X over the icon.

I have a Windows XP Home Edition computer. I recently attempted to upgrade iTunes to v10.7. It loaded and installed OK, but now it won't run. When I try to launch it, it gets aborted by the windows Data Execution Prevention software. Any ideas?

Yes, this did solve the problem. But I had some trouble updating QuickTime. It failed, with the installer complaining that it did not have the required permissions to install the files it needed in the program directory. I got it to work by telling it to install the files to another directory. All seems well now - Thanks!

Error message downloading j2se 1.5.0 on windows XP home edition (SP2)

Hello:
I am getting the following error message attempting to install the j2se 5.0 on my windows XP home edition (SP2):
"Error JavaTM installer
The installer cannot continue because the files necessary for installation are unavailable. If trying to install a beta or older version please check http://java.sun.com/j2se to determine if it is still supported. If so please try installing at a later time as these file might be only temporarily unavailable."
There is a bug report:
Bug ID: 6237992
Tested Bundle: 5.0u2_b09 JDK iftw on staging site
http://webwork.sfbay/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
Tested O/S: XP-Home (sp2)
Problem:
The installer throws error messages. I tried on three different
XP-Home (sp2) machines in our lab. It throws error message the very first or second time and after that, it seems to work fine.
Steps to reproduce:
1) On XP-Home(sp2) machine, try to download and install the JDK iftw bundle from
http://webwork.sfbay/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
2) During the installation the first or second time, one of the following messages thrown:
A) "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and than you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package"
B) Error - Java Installer
"This installer cannot continue because the files necessary for installation are unavailable. If trying to install a beta or older version, please check http://java.sun.com/j2se to determine if it is still supported. If so, please try installing at a later time, as these files might be only temporary unavailable"
This problem seems to occur on XP-Home(sp2). When error message pops up, keep trying it, it 's eventually OK. It may confuse consumers at the first two times.
xxxxx@xxxxx 2005-03-09 05:11:47 GMT"
I have tried the downloading five times to no avail, both by double clicking, and using the windows run utility. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I am getting the same error when opening the J2se Development Kit 5.0 Update 8 after I press the Run button. ( "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and than you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package").
Is there a solution ?

Trying to install Adobe Premiere 5.1 and 6.0 (upgrade) on Windows 7 Home Edition?

Can't seem to do this. Saw a solutions to install Windows XP Virtual system, but that won't work on a Windows 7 Home edition. Seems wrong that you can't use software that says: "Windows 95 or later..." On the package. Is there any 'fix?'

System specs can only apply to hardware and software available at the time. 10 years ago nobody could even conceive of Windows 7 ever going to exist and what requirements it may have.... Anyway, they are simply not compatible. You need to upgrade.

Windows xp home edition works program does not sync contacts with ipod

I recently purchased a new computer with the Windows XP Home edition and it had a new program called Works installed. It takes the place of excel, powerpoint, calender, outlook, etc. Started to add contacts and my iPod 30gb says it can't sync contacts without outlook. Is there a patch fix for this? My old computer is on it's way to my son's, several hours away.

I don't own an iPod touch. I own an older 30 gb with click wheel. I am new to this whole thing-iPods, forums, etc. Of everyone in my family (adults) I am the most literate when it comes to computers and the other person is too young to be included in online forums. I just need to know if there is a fix for the iPod to correct the only with Outlook sync for the address book part of it.

Is iTunes 11.1.0 compatible with Windows XP Home Edition?

I am trying to update my iTunes to 11.1.0, but get a Windows error message that says it might not be compatible with Windows XP (Home Edition). I've never had this problem updating iTunes before. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Has XP been updated to Service Pack 2? Right-click Computer on your desktop or in the start menu and click Properties. Visit Windows/Microsoft Update and install the service pack if needed, otherwise ignore the error and continue.

Command "java" in Windows XP Home Edition with J2SDK 1.4.0-beta3

Hi
After succesfully compiling a Java-source, I can't run it. Whenever I type: "java HelloWorldApp.class" it returns "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HelloWorldApp" as described on http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/win32.html#2c
I tried to resolve the problem by doing what's said on the url above, but it doesn't work. I run Windows XP Home Edition with J2SDK 1.4.0-beta3 installed not on C. but on F:\j2sdk1.4.0-beta3
Does anyone have a solution? It would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I don't understand what is said on the help page. My mother tongue is Dutch, although I understand most English texts. Also, I run Windows XP, which doesn't seem to have a classpath variable. When I type what is said "set classpath=", nothing happens. After that, I try again, and is still doesn't work.
But running Java without extension works. Thanks man.

Will Windows XP OEM edition install on Mac Book Pro?

I have done a forum search, but the answer is not clear to me. Seems to be conflicting info in other threads.
I need to run Windows on a new Mac Book Pro. My account rep at CDW said it was OK to sell me the OEM edition of Windows XP Home Edition w/SP2 as long as I was buying some other non-Microsoft hardware (which I was). So I did.
Now the package has arrived and I read the Microsoft label/license, I'm afraid to break the seal and open it in case it won't install properly.
Can anyone confirm the OEM edition will install properly, just like the retail? Price is not the issue. Should I return it and buy the full retail version?

Hi Craig!
Simply put, OEM is just a form of a license but you should pay attention to what that license means.
Anything that is OEM is licensed to be used only with the "hardware" you purchased. That's why your CDW rep sold you something else. It may have been a token piece of hardware such as an Ethernet cable or electrical cord. IMHO, what he did was unethical but it's not illegal because they are technically following the rules of their reseller license. Many resellers do this with their customers unfortunately.
When you buy a new computer with Windows then that Windows license is OEM. That means its legal only for that computer. You are not allowed to transfer that copy of Windows to another computer or to a virtual machine. The hardware manufacturer (Dell, HP, etc.) is responsible for supporting you, not Microsoft. I would guess that technically CDW is now responsible for supporting your Windows installation. Do you think that will happen?
This document about OEM from Microsoft's website is fairly simply to understand <http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/e/3/4e3eace0-4c6d-4123-9d0c-c80436181 742/OSLicQA.doc>.
My advice is that you purchase a full shrink-wrapped Windows package and use that instead. You'll be paying more for it but you'll have the "legal" freedom to transfer it to any other machine once you're done using it on your current machine. I personally have no experience to tell you how OEM software will react if you try to move it to another system and activate it there.
Hope this helps!
