Windows programs fail to install or run with Win8 on my iMac

Two up to date programs for Windows OS either wont install or won't run on my parallels facilitated iMac - CorelDraw & WordPerfect. How can I make them do so?

Most people on this forum do not speak Windows, I'd recommend checking with the developers of each app and see if they are designed to run on Windows 8.

Windows Update failed to check for updates with error 0x800B0001

Hi all,
I have a WSUS installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box, I have a new Windows Server 2012 box (joined to domain) that cannot get updates from the WSUS, whenever I try to search for new updates I receive the following error in event viewer:
Windows Update failed to check for updates with error 0x800B0001
Note: I cannot see the Win2K12 server in the WSUS console under computers node.

I couldn't get it to run even after installing the mentioned KB fixes. So I investigated the error myself, and found a "hack" that seems to fix the issue. Wrote up a small piece on it here:
http://tplive.azurewebsites.net/2013/12/windows-update-error/
You and about a thousand other people have reported "I had already installed [the update], but installing it AGAIN fixed the problem.", which is almost assuredly a simple indication that the original installation of the update failed, and you simply did
not recognize that the installation of the update was not successful.
The fact that the /selfupdate folder was corrupted (read: missing files) pretty much says it all. There's no bug. Your installation of the update simply failed. (Or, the server wasn't healthy to begin with and you got what you got.)
Bottom line: The only known cause for a client-side 0x800B0001 error code is that the WSUS server has not been
properly and completely patched.

Windows 10 Fails To Install

Trying to upgrade to Windows 10 but having serious issues. The upgrade starts in Windows 7 Pro, asks the various questions, reboots to the install environment, finishes copying files, reboots and it goes to "Preparing Automatic Repair." Automatic repair fails to repair anything, and a reboot shows an error "A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed. Error Code: 0xc000000f." No matter what I try it fails at the exact same place. I'm to the point of having my laptop in pieces (I can reassemble) with only the bare minimum connected to get it to start, figuring it might be a driver issue. I've tried deactivating the "Data Execution Prevention," activated TPM, activated TXT, etc. and every combination I could think of. I have installed Windows 10 on the laptop with a clean install, however I cannot activate a clean Windows 10 install without first upgrading. I've posted a thread on the Microsoft community forums, however I have yet to recieve a resolution. If you would to see more info on what I've been told to try you can read it here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install/windows-10-fails-to-install/106312ee-9876-44fe-9a40-1037a6a454d3?auth=1 I am totally lost and any new ideas would be appreciated.

My Windows programs on VM Ware Fusion run poorly on Yosemite. Can I change back to Mavericks OS?

My Windows programs on VM Ware Fusion run poorly on Yosemite OS. Can I regress to the Mavericks OS?

Yes.
Your options depend on a few factors, like:
if you made a backup of your Mavericks installation (like with Time Machine) before you upgraded to Yosemite
what the original OS was that came on your Mac when it was new
if your Mac is capable of internet recovery
if your Mac originally came with installer disks (like DVDs), and if you still have those disks.

G500 win8.1 window updates failing to install.

I recently purchased a Lenovo G500 in France (intel I7 2.2 ghz, 4gb ram, 500gb) with Windows 8.1 as the OS, and just got the Internet back last wednesday, so April 30th.
Since then, I've had a total 3 microsoft updates, which in and of itself is not terribly interesting, except that two of these three updates have failed, leading to the following message:
"Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer"
Obviously in French, but that's the translation I got anyway.
So here's my question: How often does this happen? Microsoft's site tells me to wait for about 30 minutes while it resolves, but the first time it took me close to an hour (and after the 3rd restart after it showed me this, I manually turned it off after it shut down and then it installed properly). The second update worked fine and I had no problems (albeit it took well over 30 minutes to install though), yet the third (this morning) also failed to install (but this time it took less than 30 minutes, although I noticed it froze on the lenovo screen after a restart, where the "loading" circles didn't show up, although I don't know after which restarted this occurred, as I had left it to run its course while I ate breakfast).
Now that I think about it, the first update error occurred after a system error which required a restart (cause unkown, some kind of error along the lines of 0x0000000A, but I found nothing I I'm guessing I didn't see correctly), and last night I noticed my laptop had frozen when I close it, so I manually shut it down. Coincidence? The second update worked fine, and it was the only time I had maually selected restart and update, so this could be a plausible theory, although I have no idea why it froze last night. Maybe I closed it too quickly after closing chrome (although I have no idea why this would cause a freeze...).
So my questions are as follow: Has this happened to any win 8.1 users, are your updates abnormally long (well over 10 minutes), do they occurr extremely frequently (every 2-3 days, if not every day), and what could the causes be for the failure to install/reverting changes issue?
Thank you in advance for any help.

There are lots of possible reasons. Other programs interfering, insufficient permissions, AV blocking, – the list is endless.
I could say do a forum seach but that facility is as useless as the Adobe installers.

Windows updates fail to install

Every update other than Windows Defender definition updates starting with November 18 has failed to install in Windows 8-64. Since this is on more than one installation it is a systemic Windows 8 problem as far as I am concerned. I cannot be the
only in reality beta tester of this problematic (I am seeing program/driver incompatibility issues and IE 10 has very serious flaws) OS seeing this issue. I have tried installing them individually only to see each update fail to install. On rebooting
Win 8 insists on installing any of the updates, generally fails at about 15% and has to reset and reboot. The installation fix wizard works about as well any similar applet from Microsoft which is to say not at all. Apart from "refresh" or re-install, both
non-starters for an OS that is barely a month old, what solutions are there? As noted I see program/driver issues (try running CS6 with a Radeon video card) and wonder if that is part of the problem.

Hi,
to see the cause of Windows 8 update failures, we must look for error messages in the following log files:
Please run the Windows Explorer and go to the folder "C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\" and copy all files to your document folder, also copy the setupapi.dev.log from the folder C:\Windows\Inf, the "C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log" and the file "C:\Windows\winsxs\poqexec.log"
to your document folder (otherwise you can't upload it), zip all files into 1 ZIP and upload the zip to your SkyDrive [1] and post a link here.

Why do I keep having an app that fails to install, after syncing with iTunes on my computer?

One or two months ago, I purchased EA's game 'Need for Speed Most Wanted', when it was on special for $1.29 NZ. I downloaded the app onto my iPod touch (4th generation 8GB), and later synced the app with my computer. A few weeks later I deleted this app from my iPod to free up some space (this is around a 1.8GB app by the way). In the past few days I have tried syncing this app from the computer to my iPod. Every time I sync, the app loads fine, and starts installing for a few minutes, but then comes up with a message saying: 'Most Wanted' failed to install. If I try syncing the app several more times, I then get a message saying: 'Unable to Download Item. The operation couldn't be completed (SSMobileInstallationErrorDomain error -402620393.)'. I am using a Windows 7 laptop with the latest version of iTunes. My iPod is running iOS 6.1.3. I have two apple id's, the first being signed in on my laptop, and the second being signed in on my iPod. The id's are both authorised with the laptop, and my iPod is associated with both id's as a device. I don't think this would have contributed to the problem though. This has become very frustrating! Can anyone please help?

How much free storag do y have on the iPod? I would try freeing up more and try syncing again.
If your country allows redownloading app, then delete the app from the computer and redownload and sync
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Try redownloading directly to the iPod. Note you wil need about 5.4 GB free on the iPod.
See:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.
Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
Restore to factory settings/new iPod

Windows 8 fails to install EVERY update, error code 0x800f0922

So I had to do a System Repair thing where Windows would repair itself and removing all my apps but keep my documents, photos and music etc. So I was reinstalling every program again and also wanted to install the updates.
But I ran into 0x800f0922 error code and I couldnt install them. (I run Windows 8.1 Pro) I was trying to install Adobe Photoshop but couldnt continue cuz .NET framework 3.5 was required. But after trying to manually download + install I got
the same error (0x800f0922). I've tried almost every cmd command but couldnt fix it. (im a kinda noob on it anyways)
Any help would be appreciated!

I did that and it told me it succeeded, but I also tried to manually install net framework with DISM but gave me the same error.. And I reinstalled Windows trying the repair, refresh and reset options, nothing helped. I did not yet tried a clean installation.

Windows 7 failing to install through bootcamp on iMac 27" late 2012

Hello.
I have recently received my brand new iMac 27" late 2012, and am trying to get it to install windows 7.
My machine is running 10.8.4 with a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB DDR3 RAM and 500GB SSD drive.
I launched bootcamp and went through the usual bootcamp standard steps, and after it partitions and restarts, the windows installation stops at the point of choosing a partition.
To elaborate, after the windows setup starts, and I click install windows, it asks me to choose a partition. It happens to be Partition 4 BOOTCAMP (the one that bootcamp supposedly prepared for windows as an NTFS partition.
It does not recognize it as NTFS. I click on advanced options and click format, but it takes a split second and never really formats. The only thing that changes at this point is the name of the Partition (the word BOOTCAMP disappears from the partition name). Another thing I tried after reading full threads for 4 days straight is that I click delete to delete the partition, then on the now unallocated space partition, I click *New to reallocate/format the partition. It also takes no time to turn this into a partition supposedly ready for windows, but it never allows me to choose it and go next to start installation.
I have done this about 8 times now and I am starting to worry about damaging my SSD because of all the partitioning and unpartitioning.
Here are a list of things I have done:
1. made an ISO image of the windows 7 (64 bit of course) and ran that on a USB
2. downloaded the ISO image from the microsoft website and ran that on a USB
3. used an exernal optical drive to run the windows setup using the windows installation DVD instead of the USB ISO image.
I have made sure everything is fully updated, had a friend install windows on his macbookpro retina with an SSD running the same OSX and it worked just fine.
*a small note that may or may not be of importance is that when in the list of partitions in the windows installation I click on Load Driver, it does not detect any drivers although the USB with the drivers that BOOTCAMP created earlier on the Mac side is inserted in the machine and detectable.
What is it that I'm missing?

SOLVED IT!
after 5 full days of research and trial and error (only error and no progress) and after I had hit almost every wall there is, I thought of reviewing all the elements that make up the set up.
1. iMac
2. windows 7 installation (i had both optical drive for the dvd as well as an image on a USB)
3. usb stick with the drivers on it.
the iMac i trust.
windows i doubted. so i went ahead and checked the format of the usb on which i had the drivers. weirdly enough, both were exFat, which is created by windows - supposedly.
I decided to change the format of the USB with the drivers on it to FAT. re-downloaded the drivers on it and restarted... and it worked !
Although it does not make sense at all, but windows was reading from the image on one USB which was exFat, but was not reading the drivers on the other USB.
My guess is that the reason is the Mac OSX was reading the windows through the exFat and that was working, but the windows was not being able to read its own format on the other USB. Typical windows weirdness.
In any case, I hope if someone has the same kind of trouble they would be able to benefit from this post.
Also, maybe its worth noting in the instructions of BOOTCAMP.
Thanks for those who took the time to read it.

Failed to install Solaris 10 with Jump Start

Hi all:
When install Solaris 10 with Jump Start method. I met below error:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
{3} ok boot net -install
SC Alert: Host System has Reset
Probing system devices

Thanks a lots!

thats because you wrote "-install", which will be parsed as "-i nstall", hence your system will try to execute a kernel named "nstall".
The proper syntax is "boot net - install", with spaces on both sides of the -.

Intel Chipset Support for Windows 7 fails to install

When I tried to manually install Intel Chipset Support for Windows 7, Vista and XP (oss907ww, Version: 9.1.1.1016, Release Date: 2009/10/02, http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-73684) on my W700 with Windows 7 x64, I got the following error message:
"This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. Setup will now exit."
The newly released System Update 4.0 also fails to install this version of Intel Chipset Support. However, the previous version, Intel Chipset Support for Windows Vista, XP and 2000 (oss803ww, Version: 8.7.0.1007, Release Date: 2008/08/20, http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70315) installs and works fine on my current system. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi,
I have a problem installing the above mentioned chipset driver for win7. TVSU can't install it, and when I do it manually, it gives me a message saying (translated - original message was annoyingly in chinese) "This system does not meet the lowest requirements of the software. The installation will end now."
I tried downloading it from lenovo's website, but it didn't work either, giving me the same message. The version of this driver is 9.1.1.1016 (according to TVSU).
Anyone have any ideas on what on earth is wrong?
Thank you all!

php-oci8-5.1.6-1.el5.i386.rpm or php-oci8-4.3.9-2.2.el4.i386.rpm
The installation always failed due to dependencies errors with oracle instant client.

All my tries gave me dependency errors.
