Windows Install fails to detect VSTO 4.0 in Windows machine

I’ve to install excel based application developed in VS 2010.
Windows installer fails while detecting VSTO in Windows 7/8/8.1. Its perquisites are .Net framework 4.0 client frame work and VSTO 4.0.
Even we have installed VSTO manually and re-run our setup and again we are getting the same error (“Installer was not able to automatically download the VSTO installation”), the custom message. Don’t know what is blocking to detect VSTO on some particular
machine. I'm using only this condition "VSTORUNTIMEREDIST>="10.0.30319" as in Launch Conditions from last 3 years.
Now from last couple of months I'm getting this error when instating my application, somehow when I add another condition i.e. VSTORUNTIMEREDIST>="10.0.30319" OR OFFICERUNTIME>=”10.0.21022”, it works properly.
I want to know that is there any windows patch is released due to which my installer is not able to detect VSTO in machine.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks Utshek Jain

> Is VSTO Runtime detection depends on full edition of .NET framework?
I have never seen the client profile mentioned in MSDN. For example, take a look at the
Running Solutions in Different Versions of Microsoft Office article which provides the following info:
Version of Office targeted by the project template
Target .NET Framework of the project1
Versions of Office that can run the solution
Required runtime on end user computer
Office 2013
.NET Framework 4
or
.NET Framework 4.5
Office 2013
Office 2010

Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime
Office 2010

or

BTW Did you include the required interop files in the installer?

Windows update fails with error 0x800F0922 for KB2961072 on Windows 8.1 desktop

I just tried to install updates on my Dell desktop tower running Windows 8.1 Pro. The first time it said that updates did not succeed and that it had to roll them back. I started using computer and now that same update notification showed up again.
I tried installing it once more and got the same story -- it rolled them back. So I'm afraid I'm about to go into a deadloop with Microsoft here.
On the side note let me say that I am not a fan of stopping my work to reboot computer and loose 10-15 min on this foolishness, so if there's a way to make these go away, I'd follow it.
When I pull up an update window I get these:
As for "security update for internet explorer", if that's the hold-up, I'd gladly pick the one that says, "Remove internet explorer 11 FOREVER" because I never use it and I don't know why I even have it?
Anyway, when the update fails and gets rolled back after a reboot here's what I see in the event log:

BIP 10.1.3.3.1 Windows install fails if path contains spaces

Hi
A quick note to all who might be installing the latest BIP 10.1.3.3.1 windows.
I had the install media in a directory:-
C:\Software\Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.3.1\Windows\Oracle_Business_Intelligence_Publisher_Standalone
Running the Setup.exe.fails every time....
I moved it to directory:-
C:\Software\Oracle_Business_Intelligence_Publisher_Standalone
and the install runs ok..
(This might be a general issue with all Oracle Universal Installers, but it's quite annoying! ;( )
Happy BIP'ing with 10.1.3.3.1!

OK, the problem was ... in missing colon after "thin" -

Mac Mini 2012 BootCamp Windows install failing

Hello,
I have the new 2012 Mac Mini (model Macmini6,2). I'm having difficulties installing Windows 7 with Bootcamp.
I run the Bootcamp Assistant which successfully creates a Windows 7 install disk (on a USB drive). It also successfully downloads the latest windows support software and puts it on a different USB drive. The hardrive partition options come up and after selecting the desired partion layout the system reboots and starts booting the Windows installer. This is where things go wrong...
The Windows installer is unable to recognize my installed hard drive. It asks for additional drivers and regardless of what drivers I select from the Windows support files it never is able to see the hard drive, and therefore can't continue with the installation.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
Bill

Well, the first time I did format the BootCamp partition with Win 7, just like I did for the Win 8 install previously, and I still got the error.
But I just tried again after a reboot, and the Win 7 install worked this time.
But the partitions listed were different this time. Previously Windows displayed partitions on 2 disks (disk 1 and disk 2), but this time it only displayed one disk. So something changed between the first time I tried it and this second time.
After the failure the first time, I read some discussions on the Fusion drive, and it appears that the Boot Camp partition is created on the mechanical drive only, and that if you use Boot Camp / Windows, you will not gain any benefit from the SSD or Fusion architecture. If this is accurate, it is a bummer.

Windows install fails at 75% completion

760GM-P34fx motherboard, AMD PhenomII X4 965e processor. I built this computer about a month ago with a different motherboard and it has been running Windows 7 flawlessly, no problems. I decided to upgrade to the MSI motherboard. All appears normal in the bios and it shows the CPU, etc in the bios system information screen. When I install Windows 7, the installation proceeds through all steps to part way through the final "Completing Installation." It completes "Setup is updating registry settings" and "Starting services." It then does a restart. The Windows splash screen comes up, but instead of the OS coming up, it simply goes to a black screen, and does the same on any further restarts.
All of the hardware has been operating normally for Windows 7 for the past month, except the new motherboard.
Any ideas? Any help appreciated!

That diagnosis fit the symptoms, but-- guess what, with a new Asus M5A97 R2.0 board installed, I have exactly the same problem, and this board supplies up to 140 watts. Everything looks good as reported in the bios, running cool temps, 4 cores at 3400Mhz, etc. And XP still running without a hitch.
More specs:
Graphics: Radeon HD4850
RAM: 2x 4 Gb Crucial (Micron) DDR3 1333
HD: 160Gb Seagate ST3160023AS
Power supply: Seasonic SS-500HT (500 watts)
At this point it's clearly not an MSI problem, but you seem very knowledgeable so I hope you (or anyone else with an idea) will help with this further. Since my first post here, I've: tried a Win 7 64 install from another source, (same result) removed one of the two ram chips, removed one of two hard drives, and run a diagnostic on the ram, which came up normal. Any further ideas? I keep thinking it may be a driver issue, but this is all mainstream hardware that should be supported well enough to do an install before any further driver updates.
Thanks much for any input!

IWork'09 install fail

Recently bought 24" iMac 3.06GHz, with the special iWork'09 deal package. iWork had to be installed separately. Install failed twice with the following from install.log:
PackageKit: Install Failed: PKG: extracting "com.apple.pkg.iWork09"\nError Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=110 UserInfo=0x100408900 "An error occurred while extracting files from the package “iWork09.pkg”." Underlying Error=(Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=5 UserInfo=0x1001d6fb0 "The operation couldn’t be completed. Input/output error") {\n NSFilePath = "/var/folders/zz/zzzivhrRnAmviuee+++++++++/-Tmp-/PKInstallSandbox-tmp/Root";\n NSLocalizedDescription = "An error occurred while extracting files from the package \U201ciWork09.pkg\U201d.";\n NSURL = "./Contents/Packages/iWork09.pkg -- file://localhost/Volumes/iWork%20'09%20Install%20DVD/Packages/iWork09.mpkg/";\n NSUnderlyingError = "Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=5 UserInfo=0x1001d6fb0 \"The operation couldn\U2019t be completed. Input/output error\"";\n PKInstallPackageIdentifier = "com.apple.pkg.iWork09";\n}
The same install failure message happened twice. All I get out of it is "The operation couldn't be completed.", which doesn't seem to help much.
Can anybody suggest a better interpretation and possible solution?

Thanks for the quick reply. I have been installing numerous software packages in the past several days since acquiring this machine. These installs are of Apple software, Filemaker (Bento) and numerous third party installs that nearly all use the Apple installer. These installs have all gone without problem. Only the iWork install failed.
Update: Tried the installation on another machine - iMac, early 2008, 10.5.8) and not only did the install failed but the installer - not the log, but the installer application - reported that the media is bad. "The source media you are installing from is damaged. Try installing from a different copy of the source media or contact the manufacturer for a replacement."
So it appears that the computer is okay and it's the DVD that is bad. I'll try to run this down with Apple. (Though I bought online and don't see a way to contact them back through that channel, I'll keep looking.)

Any help or guidance is appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The Lenovo System Update installed the "Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver 8.9.2.1002" right before the Windows Upgrade got broken. So in the Device Manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, I choose Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller, on the Driver Tab, I choose the option "Roll Back Driver" and after rolling back the driver and restarting the OS, now Windows Update is working like a Champ!
The End!

ProClarity 6.3 PAS install fails on Windows Server 2012

We are trying to install PAS 6.3 on Windows Server 2012 and the install fails with the following error
The following requirements are missing:
Windows Server 2003 SP1
We have successfully installed on Windows Server 2008 R2, so it really isn't a Windows Server 2003 SP1 issue.
Has anyone successfully installed on Windows Server 2012? Is there a way to force the installer not to check for the OS?
Thanks.
Kevin

I have a PAS server running in Windows 2012, by doing exactly the same pre-requisites that you do in Windows 2008 r2 (iis, Framework, SQL ADO 2005 / 2008). With the Windows Server 2003 SP1 message you can avoid it by doing a really simple thing that
is right click the setup file --> properties, and head to the "Compatibility Tab" and run it with compatibility mode Windows 7, also run it with Admin permissions. This let you pass by the message and let you install the product. Remember, after the
installation, you need to check all the IIS config, folder permissions, that you did in Windows 2008 x64 installation. Also, the App pool needs to work with .NET 2.0 not 4.0.
Good luck!

SSD's not working/ being detected - Windows install errors on HP Dv6-1149wm laptop

Okay, well I have tried three different brand new ssd's: 1. kingston v300 120gb SSD, 2. samsung 840 120gb ssd, and 3. another kingston v300 120gb SSD. Tried in that order.
The Kingston drives- Were not detected at all by the bios no errors or nothing, nada. When attached to a different computer running windows the drives are detected fine. nothing wrong there.
The Samsung drive- This was the second drive I tried. It was detected by the bios but diagnostics gave me the "303 quick" Error. When installing windows through a USB, it would ask me for drivers before proceeding. When installing from a cd, I could get to the point where I see the drive listed. I would get errors when I would try to partition it or format it. Not even partitioning the drive through command prompt using diskpart worked. It would return an error saying incorrect parameter or something like that (Note I was able to partition the drive here but not format to ntfs). I could manually partition it on another system all the way. Formating/partitioning via a different system allowed me to get all the way into the installation up until the point where it says "installing features" then it gives me an error saying it was unable to set the system local - or something like that. On top of that I also tried installing windows on the other system which worked great but would not transfer over to the laptop. I also tried cloning the previos drive onto the ssd but when booting up the computer gave me a disk read error.
My personal desktop drive(OCZ Vertex 4 128GB)- This one worked fine. Computer diagnostics picked it up fine and didn't report errors. The only thing is I didn't try installing windows on it because I already had an install there.
My thoughts- My best guess is that there is some sort of incompatibility with the drives firmware and the computers BIOS. The Bios (Insyde h20 F.21) is very limiting to begin with, too user friendly and not much to do there, second it hasn't seen an update since 2011. Seems to me like SSD technology might be advancing quicker than HP can keep up with their updates (This of course assuming its the BIOS that is at fault)
I am open to ideas suggestions, basically anything that can help me out at this point. I've spent many hours on this and I have turned out empty.

Hi,
I suggest to read this thread:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Hardware-Upgrades-Replacements/probook-6560b-does-not-recognize-my-SSD/...
Your thoughts are exactly the same as mine. The motherboard doesn't like the firmware or the controller on the SSD.
This manual says that AMD doesn't support SSD:

Trying to install the latest iTunes on my Gateway w/ Windows XP. I keep getting the message "Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."

Hi, I'm trying to re-install the latest iTunes on my Gateway w/ Windows XP. I had to update it a while back to put songs on my brother's iPod, but my computer froze halfway through and nothing has worked right since.
I keep getting the message "Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
I looked through older discussions that told me to go to right click My Computer - Manage - Services and Applications - Services - Find Bonjour and restart it.
Well, the only option that I can click on is Start. When I do, it says "Windows could not restart the Bonjour Service service on Local Computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified."
Where do I go from here? Help would be greatly appreciated, I've been trying to fix this for over a year now with no dice. Also, I cannot do a factory reset (last effort) because it says the administor's account is disabled and I do not have the disc.

Sorry if double posting is a no-no here, but I forgot to add that I've already tried disabling Spyware Doctor.

Failed to Install The New Preview Build. Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.

Hello,
I'm having issues upgrading my Windows 10 Technical Preview installation build 9879 to a newer build that's become available late January 23rd.
I am installing the new upgrade in a Hyper-V virtual machine and get the following error:
Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0x80246007
What could be the problem?
Previously I've had messages that Windows cannot be upgraded on a computer with less than 2 Gbyte of RAM. That's a Hyper-V VM with dynamic memory and I was highly surprised to see this error; never had this before. Had to set 2048 Mbytes as a minimum memory
for this VM. Now that I have this 80246007 error code.
When looking up System log, the following error messages are listed multiple times:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.
The errors are returned for the Event ID 20 by WindowsUpdateClient
in task category Windows Update Agent..
I reviewed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
registry key as suggested in Windows
Insider stuck on build 9841 - "No new preview build was found", and here is what it shows:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]

"ThresholdRiskLevel"="low"
"ThresholdOptedin"=dword:00000001
Note, when attempting to install the downloaded update from a native boot, installation starts with no errors.
However, since setup is not supported for a natively booted VHD files, it does not proceed further showing a message that installation on virtual drives is not supported.
Looks like Setup is having problems installing in a Hyper-V virtual machine.
Possibly, some ESD files got corrupted during downloading? Is it possible to remove them and re-download missing files? (I, however, noticed that Windows seems to re-download upgrade files after you restart 9879 and attempt to check for a new build.
Any clue why installing under VM causes 9926 to fail?
Thank you in advance.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Hi,
According to the error message, this problem seems like update package installation failed during system upgrade.
You can try to remove ESD file which locate at boot of C drive and upgrade the system again for test.
On the other hand, make sure the system 9879 installed all Windows pushed updates before system upgrade.

Windows 7 install failing on brand-new Apple-replaced harddrive

I just got my (8-week-old) computer back from Apple, with a brand new hard drive. Before restoring all my files, I figured I'd get Boot Camp installed so the partitions are set, etc.
Every time I try, the Windows 7 install fails about 10% of the way in, with either a 0xC0000005 error (installation sources are unaccessible) or a 0x80070005 error (the only Apple support document about this talks about an upgrade from Vista, which isn't what I'm doing).
Reading posts, I disconnected my USB hub, and this time I got a BSOD with this error:
iRQLNOT_LESS_OREQUAL
In between tries, I used Disk Utility to remove the boot camp partition, and reset my Mac partition to use the whole drive, so that I could start cleanly with Boot Camp Installer. The one time I tried to launch in Windows and repair, it brought me to the "click any key to launch from DVD" but hitting a key did nothing.
I've installed Boot Camp and Windows 7 twice before with this install DVD, and multiple other times with other DVDs/computers.
Ideas? I'm thinking there's something other than a bad hard drive that was wrong with my computer.

Only by either installing Windows on your iMac as a separate partition through Bootcamp, or setting up a virtual Windows machine via the likes of VMWare Fusion, or Parallels Virtual or Desktop.
Factor in the cost of Windows and I think you'll find a new copoy of Mac Photoshop Elements would be cheaper.
