Windows 8 Won't Install over 29 Updates

I have an ASUS laptop and about 3 months ago it got some updates that it won't install. It downloads and says it installs them, and when I go to restart the computer it gets halfway done and says "failure to configure updates, reverting changes."
I have literally tried everything. My computer has found corrupted files and it cannot fix them. Maybe I should start there? Not sure what to do though! HELP!

Hi,
Apologize for the late reply.

  • Recovery = Windows won't install from recovery discs

    I have a dv6, performed recovery off the purchased 2 discs, and it says Windows won't install.  Also, will not let me log into administrator...says my account has been disabled.  Need help asap, on roomies pc.

    I also tried using a HP Windows Recovery Disk from HP for my HP G71-340US Notebook Computer, but it repeatedly fails the installation with the message:
    "No OS Flag Set on Unit.  Please use EEPROM to set OS SKU value = 2.  Error RStone S Update  SRU option configuration is invalid, Loc # cound not be found in product #.  Next step: Please use EEPROM to set Loc # in either SKU # or CTO localization code". 
    This occurs repeatedly when trying to run the Recovery Disk from HP.
    I believe there is an EEPROM problem, but I do not know what to try next.   I have backed up all my persoal data, but everything is wipped off the hard disk, currently.  I can get into the BIOS, but that does not seem to be of any help. HP tech support is of no help.
    Thanks for any help or recommendations.

  • Windows XP won't install drivers - "UPDATE" file missing

    I have installed Windows XP SP2 successfully ( it was a bumpy road ) and have reached the step where I'm supposed to use a Leopard disc to install the necessary drivers for using Windows with the MacBook hardware (video, speakers, etc). When I insert the Leopard disc a window appears saying that the setup.exe file on the disc is newer than something or other, so I click OKAY ( the Boot Camp instructions say to agree to any windows at this point ). The window goes away, and another one immediately opens saying " the necessary UPDATE file is missing". I click OKAY and the window closes. The End. No driver installation. I can use XP, but there is no sound. Windows Movie Maker won't even launch because it says the audio components are not available. This is probably because the drivers weren't installed. I imagine there will be many other problems.... Anyone have this solution???

    Here is a correction to my post. The window says: "This package requires a newer version of Windows Installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?" ( I click yes and the window goes away). The second window says: "The required resource 'Update' is missing". ( I click yes and the window goes away ).
    I think maybe XP is trying to download something from the internet and maybe it can't since I probably need the drivers to do that....?

  • Reader update won't install--over and over

    Adobe's install procedure fails numerous times over several months. I see no way to provide
    feedback about the failure. Almost no information is given with the feedback. This strikes me
    as amateurish software development & maintenance.
    --Mischlbay

    You need to install all previous updates before you can install this one. If you have done so and it still won't install. Then uninstall Reader. Run the Microsoft installer cleanup tool, then try to re-install all from scratch.

  • Boot Camp  - Windows won't install

    Hi,
    I'm running OS X 10.10.2 on my iMac 7.1 (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM). On completion of Boot Camp partition Windows 7 DVD won't install - I get a black screen prompting me to select boot mode. However, keyboard and mouse are disconnected at this stage leaving me powerless to do anything. There's nothing wrong with the Windows 7 DVD, I might add - installs perfectly when running Parallels Desktop 10/Parallels virtual machine. Can anyone tell me, how to resolve this annoying issue?

    Hi CellarDwellr,
    Thanks for your answer.
    Although my install DVD does indeed bear the "OEM" mark, I don't think the "OEM" is the root of the problem, as the DVD installed perfectly on my iMac by means of Parallels Desktop 10. Furthermore, I made a perfect and smooth installation of Windows Vista (OEM DVD) on my iMac some years ago by means of Boot Camp (running Snow Leopard at that time).
    Hence, I'm inclined to suspect this to be an OS X issue rather than anything else.
    Finally, I did comply with the Boot Camp manual on both occasions.
    Regards missil1
    You can't just compare your windows 7 oem to your old windows vista oem. There are many - probably hundreds - of oem versions out there. You probably have a limited notion of what "oem" stands for. An OEM version of Windows is a special version for a specific computer or models of computers and none of them are for Apple. Dell or HP might sell OEM versions of windows, tailor made to work with their models of computer. Which means they preinstall drivers specific for, say, a Dell Studio laptop. Often they will also force a partitioning scheme on a computer's harddrive as well. If it worked in Parallels, you were lucky.
    If you want to try Boot Camp again, use Boot Camp-assistant to delete your Boot Camp partition and start over.

  • Creative cloud app kills windows 8 on install or update.

    I searched in vain for any support or way to contact support from Adobe. Every link just goes round in circles and ends up with the forums.  So as far as I can tell, Adobe offer zero support for the creative cloud product I have just purchased.
    Anyway, just in case that any Adobe staff read these forums, and want to take note of major problems, the adobe cloud application (dont know what it is or does), which is required for some reason in order to install lightroom and photoshop (unfortunately), always crashes, and takes down windows 8.1 with it.
    I always disable it in startup, and I dont want it to slow down my boot up for zero gain.
    Today I realised that windows 8 has no desktop pdf reader.   So I thought I would fire up the adobe creative app thing, to see if there was an option to dowload an adobe desktop product for reading pdf.
    When it launched, it said I had to update.  It updated for a bit, then "blue screened" windows.  Not the old blue screen we know and love from windows 3.1 to windows 7, but a new blue screen reserved only for windows 8.  Basically, the updater simply kills all your running apps, no matter if you were in the middle of working on something, and gives a compeetly  blue screen, except I see a small minimised Skype bar in the bottom left.  All my desktop items - gone.  Windows bar at the bottom - gon.  Start menu - gone.  Windows start button on the keyboard?  Dead.
    So the only option is to pull the power plug, which can seriously dammage the HD etc.
    Nice one Adobe. This is why I hate installing the bug filled bloatware which too many companies fill your machine.
    I dont expect any help, but at least I tried to give feedback.

    Just to confirm: both, after installing, and after updating the "Adobe Creative App", everything on the desktop disappears, including the desktop background, and you are left with a solid blue screen (very similar to a blue screen of death, just without the error message), and a small window with skype compressed into the smallest possible area (just he minimize button and the word skype) in the bottom left.  I waited at least 5 minutes.  This is on a machine with a new and empty Curcial M550 SSD (very very fast), and a core i7 quad core 2.7GHz.  No key board action has any effect, except Ctrl-Alt-del does eventually allow you to shut down (which I could not find the first time I had this problem so had to litterally pull the power out of the back).
    It is a brand new machine with nothing but a fresh install of windows 8 from the Lenovo Factory installation disks, and utilities like skype, chrome, firefox, tortoise git, and java installed. 
    I have now uninstalled the creative clound app, as I cant afford to have it damage my laptop or windows installation.

  • RSAT Tools won't install (the update is not applicable to your computer) in build 9926

    Trying to install Remote Server Administration Tools in Windows 10 Technical Preview build 9926
    Downloaded WindowsTH-KB2693643-x64.msu
    Gives error "the update is not applicable to your computer"

    Hi SeanSauve,
    The below is the information I quoted from the system requirements part on the download page:
    Supported Operating System
                        Windows 10 , Windows 10 Tech Preview , Windows 8.1                
    **Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview can be installed ONLY on computers that are running the second release of Windows 10 Technical Preview.** Remote Server Administration Tools cannot be installed on Windows
    RT, computers with an Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) architecture, or other system-on-chip devices.
    Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview runs on both x86- and x64-based editions of builds 9926 and later releases of Windows 10 Technical Preview, including all updates.  This release does not run on Windows 10 Technical
    Preview builds that are older than 9926. Download and install the version that matches the architecture of the computer on which you plan to install the administration tools. If you are not sure whether your computer is x86- or x64-based, see
    How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit version of the Windows operating system.
    Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview is available only in United States English (en-US) for this release.

  • Centro desktop won't install over earlier palm desktop and can't un-install old version

    The Centro CD won't install the Centro Access Palm desktop
    desktop - it stops and says I must de-install existing Palm desktop as it won't upgrade the earlier version.
    Trouble is, I can't de-install Sony palm desktop. It is in c:\program
    files but doesn't appear in control panel / add remove prgrams; didn't
    allow revo to de-install it.
    I tried just plugging in the Centro but windows could find usb drivers
    (presumably)
    So i'm a bit stuck. HELP!
    Post relates to: Centro (Unlocked GSM)
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    That was the next step.
    I just needed to know what the OS of the PC was and the version of Palm desktop so I could tell you where to look for the correct folders.
    Here is some more info. for you.
    Click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.
    http://www.palm.com/us/support/centro/centro_gsm/
    There are links on the page to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc. 
    The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
    Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
    Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
    With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
    Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
    With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

  • Wiped my entire macbook drive and now snow leopard won't install over snow leopard server, HELP!

    I ordered, what I thought, was Snow Leopard a while ago because I was running Leopard and I wanted to get the app store so I could move onto Lion and then Mountain Lion. I ordered the disc over the phone and the woman sent me the Snow Leopard Server instead of just Snow Leopard, I didn't think much about it so I clean installed it and ran it on my unibody macbook for a while. I didn't see much use for the disc anymore seeing that everything was downloadable at this point, so I sold the disc on Ebay and carried on. The server edition started to slow my computer down due to all of its excess applications and what not, and I read online that Lion and Mountain Lion are also very slow on the old unibody Macbooks so I ordered a regular Snow Leopard disc, now available online, and tried to install it. My computer said Snow Leopard cannot be installed over Snow Leopard server so I went to disc utitlity and wiped my entire drive while the OS X Snow Leopard disc was running and trying to install. I went back to the install window and it still said OS X Snow leopard cannot be installed over Snow Leopard Server so I shut down my computer and tried to turn it back on and I all I got was a blinking folder with a question mark in it, what do I do????????
    P.S. All of my content is backed up on an external harddrive so I am all good with that.

    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. After formatting has finished quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the Snow Leopard installation.

  • Please Help! Windows won't install IPod Driver!

    My brother got a 2GB IPod nano and itunes and everything installs but when i plug in the IPod i get the install driver window. I click to intsall driver but it keeps saying it couldnt find anything to install (even when i have the disc the ipod came with inside). Its a Toshiba labtop. If anyone knows why the driver won't install or had the same problem please help! Thanks

    Hi brunos mum, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.

  • Offline updates won't install any updates with none in the name (outlfltr-x-none.cab, word-x-none.cab, outlook-x-none.cab )

    First, I'm running SCCM 2007 sp2 R3 integrated with MDT 2012 update 1 build 6.1.2373.0
    I've added the MDT task sequence step: install offline updates, in my OSD W7 task sequence.
    The ZTIPatches.log shows it runs without errors. But only some of the updates get installed.
    It expands all my updates:

    But only the updates with a kb number like: windows6.1-kb2936068-x86.cab get the next line:   
    Create Package Item : Package_for_KB2936068
    They also get a, copying package line, a copy file line and a package added line. The others don't.
    I've read that the offline updates will only install updates with file content .cab?
    So I've removed all the exe updates.
    Is this normal for MDT offline updates?

    Offline updates will only inject Windows CBS-based updates into an image. This does not include Office updates.

  • Mac won't install Software Updates

    I have a PPC G5 1.8 running 10.5.8 leopard. I try to run the updater and it tries but in the end it says software not updated volume "/". Please help.

    Some general advice on updating:
    It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
    The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 4.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    If you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.

    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
