Windows Downloaded setup.exe, not iso file.

Well... I just recently bought windows 8, but it downloaded a file called windows8setup.exe -- not an iso. I don't have a windows machine to open the exe, so how can i get the windows iso?

So i guess my question is: How can i get the windows8 iso from the setup.exe without having access to a windows computer.

Oracle 9iLite download setup.exe file does not work

Like many people (I am discovering more by the minute), I am unable to install 9i Lite.5.01. When the setup.exe file is triggered, a hourglass appears for a second, then nothing...
I am installing on a windows 2000 terminal server, therefore I have to go through (Control Panel) Add/Remove Programs. The Oracle Universal Installer says that setup.exe is either a directory or is corrupt.
I have tried a couple of fixes suggested in this forum, such as unzipping the files to /install/disk, but to no avail. I have also tried downloading the software again, but with the same results.
Is there anyone out there who has successfully overcome this problem ?

Yes, there has been a problem reported with setup.exe on the Pentium 4 processor.
To overcome the problem, copy the contents of the CD on to your hard drive.
Then search for every occurence of the file symcjit.dll under the base directory where u have copied from your CD.
and rename them to symcjit.old.
Then launch setup.exe.
This should take care of the problem

Office pro 2013 download: setup.exe "module could not be found"

Have downloaded Microsoft Office Professional 2013 4 times. Takes about 7 minutes. Then when I click on setup.exe, the computer (windows 8.1) asks if I want to let Microsoft make changes to my computer (this is normal for a software download). I say yes
and I get a popup that says "the specified module could not be found". You have other threads with this same notation but none seem to be with a software download so I am starting a new thread.
This was downloaded from Microsoft Volume Licensing. There was a note that I would need to download the Microsoft webapps something or other and I tried downloading that as well, but the download name was the same as the other download, and the
outcome and resulting error message also were the same.
Concerned because no where was I asked for any license key or setup key or anything else.
Any advice would be greatl welcomed.
Thank you
Eljayf

Hi,
A similar issue is addressed here, you can follow SpeakPeace’s reply to check if helpful.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-office_install/the-specified-module-could-not-be-found/92971d00-b54a-435d-829c-8b8d651f70c4
When you download Office 2013 from the Volume License Service Center, it comes down as .ISO files.
.ISO is not a file format that Windows can open natively.
There are several possible options you can use to install the software:
Use .ISO image file software to download and save the .ISO image file to a CD-R or a DVD-R.
Virtually mount and access ISO files as a virtual device.
Extract the .ISO files to your hard drive.

You can run setup.exe as administrator then try the install.

Windows 7 32bit bootcamp driver setup.exe not working?

I know this question has been asked several times, and I apologize for repetition, but I've downloaded the bootcamp files for 32bit windows 7, and copied them to install the drivers onto windows, but the setup.exe changes to an application that 'is not intended for this computer model'.
The 'new' setup.exe after accessing the external hard drive bootcamp:
As you can see, Windows 7 installed properly, but the drivers have not been installed. The only reason I am able to use Windows on this is because I manually installed the network adapter hard drive. If there is a way to fix this so I can properly install the drivers, I would love to know.
Thank you for your time.

You can find links for the various versions of Boot Camp here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
Just find the correct model and version of windows and download the Boot Camp version provided by the link.
Note that there are a variety of versions of 4 available so it is important to make sure you find the correct model in order to get the correct version.

Download tool part of iso files?

I have a 2 year old 640 gig dv7 laptop and I received the imminent "hard disk failure" message. So, I backed up the hard drive (8 dvds) and made recovery disks (6 dvds). I bought a new Seagate hard drive of 500 gigs and installed it. I then started the recovery process.
I then received a message that said my new hard disk was smaller than the original and to not continue. I did try four different installs with no success, getting a blank screen except for the hp logo on the center of the screen and a press esc for menu.
I have read the advice of trying the iso file download via either dvd or usb. My question is: the directions talk about using the w7 dvd/usb download tool. Is this download tool part of the iso files? How do I get it onto my computer first? I know it's probably simple, but it would be nice for me to get that clarified before doing the downloads.
Thx.
This question was solved.

Hi,
As the error you're encountering is just due to the fact that Recovery Discs will not install correctly on a drive smaller than the one they were created on, I would just burn the correct ISO to a blank DVD and use this to perform the installation - there's no need to create a bootable USB drive unless you have a problem with the optical drive on your notebook.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the exact same version that originally came with your notebook ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.
http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-windows-7-by-phone.aspx
Any additional drivers and software you may need can be found by entering your full Model No. or Product No. Here.

Oracle 9i download setup.exe problem

Downloaded and unzipped Disk1, Disk2, Disk3 per instructions, but when I try to run setup.exe, I get an hourglass for two seconds, then nothing happens at all. Running Win2k Pro.

We has a similar problem with 8.1.7. Is your machine a Pentium 4? If so, it may be similar to the problem we had.
The advice we got from Oracle support was as follows:
--There are known issues where Oracle Universal Installer(OUI) hangs on Pentium IV
--machines. Any Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.1.9.0 and earlier installation on a
--platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the Sun JRE and Symantec
--Just in Time Library (JIT) will encounter this problem. Windows NT is confirmed
--to be affected by this issue.
--Please refer to <Note:131299.1> which suggests three possible workarounds for
--this issue.
--Currently there is not a patched Installer available to deal with this problem.
--Hence I'm afraid one of the workarounds listed above has to be used.
You'll need to go to metalink to look at the note if this does apply.
Hope this helps,

Trying to update Firefox and I downloaded setup.exe, but then nothing happened

I currently have 3.0.19 version of Firefox and finally decided to update since this version crashes whenever you go to google maps. My automatic updater did not work (error message was just that it failed for an unspecified reason). I went to the mozilla website and clicked on the free download button. It then asked if I wanted to save the Firefox 7.0.1 setup.exe which I saved to my Mozilla folder. Then nothing happened. When I clicked on the link if nothing automatically happens it just asks if I want to save the same file. I've restarted, but still have the same old firefox version. Is there more I need to download, or do I have to run something?

Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Cannot install on Windows 7 setup.exe freezes.

Hi I am trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection from a DVD by running the setup.exe however, it freezes at around 90% and I cannot continue any farther. I have tried copying the dvd to my hard drive and that gives me the same result. It also did the same thing when I had XP SP3 and I never found a solution. I really need to get this installed so I can finsh a clients site so any help is aprieciated.

Hi again (for the last time),
I must stress the most annoying thing about it is the fact that Adobe clearly lies in stating that ( in my case CS3) should work on Windows 7. In the article: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/508/cpsid_50853.html on the website there is a claim CS3 has been tested on Windows 7 and should work.....
"In the article `Support policy for Acrobat 7 and 8 on Windows Vista...` no other conclusion is possible. In his answer Bob Levine admitted that Adobe 7 and 8 are supported in Vista.
And of course we can fight about the number of applications working well in Vista but not in Windows 7 and that (quoting Bob:) ´some` applications from C3 work fine in Windos 7.
Later on, there is a statement I recieved by mail that declares the opposite:
***Notes to Customer***
11/09/200908:36:02
Dear -------,
Thank you for contacting us through Adobe Web Email Support. This
response addresses your request about acrobat 8.0 on windows 7.
Unfortunately only Acrobat/Reader 9.2 will be fully supported on
Windows 7.
All previous versions will not be supported on this platform.
Thank you,
***Notes
But that doesn´t make sense in the light of the promises Adobe makes about CS3 in Windows 7 on its website.
So my complaint is still the same... don't lie on internet about things you must later take back for the sake of commerce. I personally made my decision to upgrade (from XP) to Windows 7 partly because I should still be able to use CS3 (including Acrobat 8).
Adobe is highly (probably even more than Microsoft) arrogant to users who bought their expensive products..

Windows 8 setup does not prompt for license key, then fails, on hp envy notebook

Hi,
I am trying to install Windows 8 pro on an hp envy dv7 notebook, that came with a Windows 8 home pre-installed.
I tried by running the setup from the CD inserted while Windows was running, but setup complained that no license key matched the CD and faled. Strange enough,
setup did not prompt for any license key!
I tried the setup on another, older PC, there it did prompt for license key and setup ended well. At least it was not the CD.
Then I retried booting from setup CD, it loaded files, then started the setup without promptiing for any license key, and failed again.
Then I tried with a Windows 7 CD, same behavior, not prompting for license key and fail to setup.
Then I "repaired" Windows by booting from CD and reformatting the hard drive, dropping all Windows partitions, then restart setup from CD, but it still behaved the same way: not prompting for license key, and failing to setup.
I called the HP support, and they answered that it was a problem for Microsoft (what a good support, the only place where the problem occurs is the hp computer, but let the Customer call Microsoft instead).
So here I am, did any of you use an hp computer, and succeeded in installing Windows 8 PRO NFR from Technet plus on it?

Pierre

Is it a Chinese Editon preinstalled in HP notebook?
Windows 8 preinstall machine includes a license key in system firmware. So Windows 8 setup will use this key rather than pop up product key input text pop. It is a Microsoft by design issue. So no good mathod to workaround this problem.
