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....?

  • Windows XP won't install Drivers

    Hello,
    today I installed Windows XP prof (SP2) via BootCamp. It worked so far. Then I inserted the MacOS X install DVD and tried to install the drivers. The setup started automatically but stopped at the installation of an audio driver with a bluescreen. I tried it several times and it stopped always at the same time with a bluescreen. I even reinstalled and reformated the whole BootCamp Partition but didn't help.
    I hope somebody can help me and
    thanks so far,
    Andi

  • Windows installer won't install v. 10.5 on laptop-any suggestions?

    When windows installer runs download of v. 10.5 it fails to install due to program error. Is there a way to bypass the windows in staler

  • Windows 7 won't install any Audigy 2 ZS drivers

    I did a clean install of Windows 7 and noticed right away, that the drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS didn't get installed. Here is the error I was given via device manager / properties for card:
    The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
    This operation requires an interacti've window station.
    Drivers I've tried:
    From Windows Update, dated October 4, 2008<
    Creative's website, Driver version?2.8.00, dated July 3 2009
    Creative's website, Beta driver version 2.8.00, dated Oct 2009
    Creative's website, Vista driver 2.2.0002, dated March 6, 2007
    danielk's audigy support pack 3.5
    When I tried the Creative executables and danielk's support pack, I do not get any errors during any parts of the install(s).
    Windows Updates says the install failed with unknown reason. When I attempt to "update driver" through device manager, it says it finds the driver but it gives me the same error as mentioned?above: This operation requires an interactive window station.
    What else can I try? I've also done an "upgrade" install of Windows 7 on top of the clean install (out of desperation). At this point, I feel like reloading my XP imaged install,?so I can have working audio again.
    So, please, if there is something I can try, then please help. Is there a way to do a "logged" install and send it to someone at Creative?
    Thanks for your time

    So, just to update everyone on my situation. I think my issue was caused by the migration tool, Windows Easy Transfer.
    I formatted the partition the partition that Windows 7 was installed on, and did a fresh reinstall. Upon first boot of the new reinstall, the audio drivers were still not installed. I then immediately tried to "update drivers" via device manager and Windows installed the latest beta drivers from October , 2009 with no errors.
    Is there any reason why the install won't install the drivers on its own? Did it not ship with Audigy 2 ZS drivers?

  • Windows 8 Won't Install over 29 Updates

  • Windows 7 won't install on intel imac

    I'm having trouble installing windows 7 ultimate (64 bit) on my imac. it's the 20 inch model from early 2007 (EMC 2133) if that helps.
    It seems that when I try to install the windows 7 OS on my new partition the screen goes black and prompts the message "select CD-ROM boot type" and above that are options 1 and 2, both blank. Also at this point the keyboard does nothing; all I can do is restart the computer.
    When I start up the computer and hold the option key I can see that computer recognizes the disk as "Windows", so I know the disk is fine, but I can't use it to install windows 7.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I was having trouble myself with my iMac regarding a black screen and a blinking cursor after installation where the iMac would just stay idle. Below are solutions for all iMacs that have a problem with their graphics cards (ATI & NVIDIA).
    Some people complained that they can't find the "repair your computer" from windows DVD. In all cases repeat steps below:
    *Solution 1:*
    If you have a secondary monitor, connect the monitor to the computer before you install Windows 7. Then, you will be able to complete the setup process. After Windows 7 is installed, you can install an updated driver that corrects the eDP issue through Windows Update, Boot-camp or Snow Leopard DVD.
    *Solution 2*
    When doing the repair windows step, it didn't work asking to provide a repair disk or something. I then clicked install driver, browsed to the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers folder and then renamed the ati*.sys file (only one file!) to ati*.renamed (NVLDDMKM.SYS or ATIKMDAG.SYS depending on your iMac)
    Once installed, pop in the Snow Leopard OS DVD and run setup to get all the drivers working.
    This can also be done with an NTFS plug-in (Tuxera, NTFS-3G, Paragon, MacFuse, etc.) that will allow you to see the files on BOOTCAMP on OS X. Follow the same path and rename the file.
    The solution _+*Boot Camp: iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7 using Boot Camp*+_ (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173) didn't work for me...but!!!
    Drag "Drivers" and "AutoUnattend.xml" from the iMacLate_2009_Win7Drivers folder, which was expanded in step 4, to the USB or SD card device's icon to copy the files to it. Do not copy them to any subfolders. (Normal USB or SD, no partition or Master Boot)
    From the Windows 7 installation DVD, start the computer that has the AMD Radeon GPU that uses eDP (or NVIDIA). Immediately connect the USB flash drive after the computer starts from DVD. Follow the instructions to complete the installation process. When the system restarts for the first time, disconnect the USB flash drive.
    If this still doesn't work for you, there a more..:)
    *Solution 3:*
    If you applied solution 2 and you still have problems, try the steps below.
    Solution 2 will make the Windows 7 DVD have the option "Repair your computer" for those who can't see it.
    Repair startup issues
    1. Put the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start your computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted.
    3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then 4. click Next.
    5. Click Repair your computer.
    6. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
    7.In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
    Type (these commands are safe - more information)
    Code: Bootrec.exe /FixMbr
    Code: Bootrec.exe /FixBoot
    Code: Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd
    *Press ENTER after each command.*
    *Restart your computer.*
    That should do the trick! However if you still can't start Windows, then follow step 1 to 6 again and type these commands.
    This has been tested on iMacs with ATI and NVIDIA cards. I hope this helps everyone as it I know how frustrating this process can get!!! Once again, this is a complete guide for most iMacs that support Boot-Camp. (32-bit and 64-bit)
    Good Luck everyone and please let me know if it worked for you.

  • HP LaserJet M1005 MFP and Windows 7 - Won't Install

    I have just acquired an HP Notebook which connects well to an old HP LaserJet 6L as a local printer, but it won't connect to the HP LaserJet M1005 MFP.   It does not find drivers when it searches on the net, and the drivers won't install from the CD which came with the printer either - it just hangs after a while.
    I read some posts from other people who also have related problems.   Can anybody help please? 

    The Windows 7 32-bit Print/Scan driver software can be found here <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/S​oftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=1839459&​...>.
    The Windows 7 64-bit Print/Scan driver software can be found here <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/S​oftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=1839459&​...>
    You are correct though, the installer on the CD does not support Windows 7 and there are no driver in Windows 7 or in Windows Update for this product. Hope this helps.

  • Windows Vista won't install

    Hey i just got a copy of windows vista but it won't install. i tried to install it using bootcamp but it asks me to start installing on a existing windows. i don't have any windows installed on my mac book. Do i have to install windows xp before installing windows vista?

    Thanks nerowolfe.
    I'll start doing my homework.
    The obvious: Is vista proving stable on the Mac built in drive?
    While some might consider me "lucky," I don't believe i luck. I have had no problems with any of my three Macs which now all run Leopard. My two MBPs were updated, not even an archive and install and they both run fine, as does my old G5.
    I installed XP-Pro on my 32-bit MBP when I first got it using BootCamp1.0, beta.
    I installed Vista Ult 64-bit on his MBP also under a beta version of BC, 1.2, I believe.
    All the Leopards are up to date, as are my Winders OSs. I finished updating this MBP to SP1 this morning. I have never had any problem, issue or anything I would consider serious. I did have the problem some have noted with Leopard, that the WiFI modem would turn off when not used, but that was not a Leopard issue, it was a firmware issue with my Westell modem, which works fine now that I upgraded its firmware.
    As of now, I have nothing but praise for both Apple and, yes, Microsoft.
    I learned long ago, that when you get down the the processor, it's all the same 1's and 0's
    I do research things quite well before actually committing myself, but that should be normal for everyone. Even a daredevil driver or stuntman carefully plans what he does, although it looks as if it's spontaneous.
    I use computers for business and pleasure and I need them as tools. I do not fool around with strange software or unplanned updates. So far, that has paid off.

  • Windows Live won't install on my mac.  Can't Access Hotmail.

    I have MSN as my home page and access my email there with a link to Hotmail. In the last few days, the site has been changed and now when I try to access Hotmail, I am redirected to a new window indicating that I need to subscribe to Windows Live. When I download the file, it disappears from my downloaded files and therfore I cannot install it. I can access my Hotmail through a regular PC and have not been asked on a PC to subscribe to Windows Live. So, it would seem the problems lies with the Macbook, but I'm not sure.
    Can anyone assist me?
    Thanks

    wait. i'm trying to download windows live and it won't even let me get to the web page, on safari or firefox.

  • Itunes 8 downloads ok but won't install (not updating)

    Hi everyone.
    Got an ipod for xmas, downloaded itunes 8 for 1st time (not updating), downloads ok, but when opening install program, "open file - security warning" dialog box opens, i click on run, the "unidentified program wants access to your computer" dialog box opens, i click the allow button, i get the 'thinking' cursor for 1 second then nothing happens.
    I'm running it as an adminstrator, i've tried running the program in xp service pack 2 mode, i've redownloaded it 3 times, same thing every time i try. not a 64bit machine, i get no errors, it just does nothing.
    The file i download is 67,146kb so something is actually there, can anybody please help, this is frustrating and my new ipod is a paperweight.

    Hi Polydorus - Happy New Year!!! Thanks for your time and reply.
    Yes i have a 32bit version of windows vista (premium)
    Yes i downloaded itunes from the apple site, saved it and when i try to run it i get the hourglass for 1 second then nothing.
    Looked in the task manager and nothing is running.
    Never had any problem installing anything else or anything windows related.
    I have spybot (rescanning now) and my antivirus is Nod32 so no risk of anything there. I even tried installing in safe mode, but no luck.
    I am running firefox, not I.E. but that shouldn't matter.
    I realize this is where people with problems come to gripe, but there seems to me to be a LOT of problems associated with itunes?
    Spybot found nothing, Nod32 is Hey?????
    While typing this, i was downloading Quicktime from the link you sent to test if that works, the file I've downloaded was named itunes setup(2) shouldn't it be quicktime?????? Guess it automatically called it (2) cause i already got itunes setup in my download folderit's the exact same size as the itunes setup file i've been downloading??????
    Now the apple website actually says thanks for downloading Quicktime 7 not a thing about itunes.
    Click on the download now link on the site you sent me, http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ wants to download me the itunes file not quicktime??? Try it !!
    Maybe the people at apple got on the grog a bit before Christmas???
    NOW itunes is installed AND RUNNING !!!!!!!!!
    WHAT THE ..... ???????????
    This is really weird.
    Will connect ipod and see if this actually works or is a mirage and repost results.
    That might be a fix, download it from the quicktime download link???????????, or rename it with a (2) ????

  • 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:
    About to run command: expand "\\servername\lsdp$\SMSPKG\CO10021D\95508244-d070-43f4-b304-3efbd62090cd\word-x-none.cab" -F:update.mum "C:\_SMSTaskSequence\ZTIPatches.tmp" ZTIPatches 5/1/2014
    2:37:36 PM 0 (0x0000)
    Return code from command = 0
    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.

  • Windows Vista won't install Ipod

    Latest version of Itunes 7.4.2 has been installed, unfortunately Windows Vista has located Ipod mini in "other devices" in "Device Manager", but it won't install the Ipod. I've reinstalled Iteune three times and searched the Windows Vista disk, but with no luck.
    I'm on the verge of selling the ipod - any advice would be welcome.
    Thanks

    I suggest either getting a Mac or going back to Windows XP because Vista is known to have these problems.

Parallel Desktops is telling me I can install Windows via a PC, DVD or image file. Does this mean I cannot install Windows by downloading it.

  • 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.
