"...wizard was interrupted before Palm desktop by Access could be completely installed..."

When I attempt to install Palm Desktop 6.2 by running PalmDesktopWin62.exe everything seems to go fine until the "Configuring Registry" starts. Then I get a Microsoft Windows message that says: "... The wizard was interrupted before Palm desktop by Access could be completely installed. ...". Then the installation stops and the installation does not happen.
If it matters I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium. And before I attempted the installation, I: uninstalled my previous versions of the Palm Desktop using the uninstall feature from the CD installation disk, deactivated my virus protection, shut down Windows Defender, and set the PalmDesktopWin62.exe compatibility mode to the "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" option.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

Have you tried just running it "normally"? How about disabling your AntiVirus software temporarily during the installation?
At this point you may need to do a "Clean Uninstall" and some registry edits before trying again:

While installing Acrobat XI Pro, the installation automatically rolls back and I get the message "The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.07) could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again." How to resolve it.
How do I modify the system.

Hi Rgardezi,
The only reason why Acrobat installation fails and throw this error message is when there are some services running in the background causing the installer not to complete the installation. My take is try the following steps and suggest if you were able to install the products or not :
1) Navigate to control panel and confirm that there is no line Item that talks about Acrobat. If you see Acrobat XI listed there, please remove them.
2) Perform a selective Start up using the steps mentioned in this link.
Please suggest if the above mentioned steps were able to resolve the query for you or not.

"Wizard was interrupted before install was complete" Acrobat XI Pro Windows 8.1 any recent solutions?

Seen in past posts, some years old this has been a problem. Tried everything I know: turn off anti-virus, restart, used adobe cleaner, etc. Any other solutions? Thank you.

Hey eDougS,
Just need to ensure that after using Acrobat cleaner tool, do you get the same 'wizard interrupted' error?
Also, please try creating a different user account and then install the software.
You might also visit this forum link if that could help in your case:

I have a W520 that I have upgraded to Win 8.1. I'm trying to install the System Update utility and InstallShield Wizard fails with:

Click Finish to exit the Wizard.
I've searched for solutions all over the place and come up blank. This usually tells me there is something screwy on my machine or I'm not searching for the right keywords.

Installation of Lightroom 4.1 failed. InstallShield Wizard was interrupted

Have tried installing Lightroom 4.1 twice now. Towards the end the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.1 InstallShield Wizard appears reporting "The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.1 could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified." I already have LR 4.0 installed successfully. Am using Win7 Ultimate. Any ideas please?
Message was edited by: Digital.Geoff. I previously mentioned the Windows virtual keyboard but, on reflection, that was a 'red herring'. If the virtual keyboard /was/ related to the InstallShield dialog it would have appeared /after/ the dialog appeared, not before, so it can't be that that would have interrupted the install.

I installed 4.1 whilst leaving Kaspersky running and had no problems whatsoever. Install (on Win7 x64) was quick and easy. However, I do have LR set up in Kaspersky as a "trusted application", so perhaps this has some bearing.
To be honest, I've never had an issue with any install where I've needed to deactivate Kaspersky to enable it to work (CS6 being one recent example).

Wizard interrupted before QuickTime could be completely installed?

I bought license to use QT PRO 7 - downloaded the latest version of QT pro 7 (itunes + qt) yesterday (1/20) evening and repeatedly failed to get it either to install over an older existing version of itunes and qt. The installation routine stops close to the end of the process and returns the message "the Wizard was interrupted before QuickTime could be completely installed". The pre-existing old versions of I-tunes and quicktime are gone. And there is no sign of either in my add/remove software menu. I've tried reinstalling the package in safe mode. I've tried shutting down all running programs via the task manager and via msconfig. I've tried using the current QT stand-alone installer. I've tried going back to an ealier restore point. And Quicktime phone support was unable to resolve the conflict either. Anybody here recognize the error message and know how to resolve the problem?

I am having this problem too. QT7 gets past the registering part then goes into a publishing step, the window closes and another window pops up that says
"InstallShield Wizard Completed
The wizard was interrupted before QuickTime could be completely installed
The system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, run the installation again.
Click Finish to exit the wizard."
I have tried several times using both the itunes/QT7 and the standalone QT7 installers and both fail at this step. The itunes version doesn't even bother to post the above message though. It just closes the window leaving you thinking that it completed successfully. I have tried disabling my virus scanner, cleaning all references that I could find from the registry, deleting all previous installs, but nothing seems to work, so now I have no quicktime on my system of any version and can't get it reinstalled.

I get a "Palm desktop by access application has stopped working" message when switching to the Month calendar view.

I have a Z22 and am running Access version 6.2.2 on a PC with Vista.
When I move from Day, Week or Year to Monthly view in the Calendar, I get the "Palm Desktop by Access Application has stopped working" (and then the Windows message saying they are checking for a solution, which they never seem to find).
Does any one know 1) how to fix this and 2) what is the cause ? Am I running old software which I need to update ?
Thanks.
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Thank you, aeisha_anis for the steps to correct this problem. I verified that I must have corrupted calendar data as the PALM Desktop does come up and work when I follow your first 4 steps and remove the data from it. I can't, however, get through the importing step at the end of your instructions. I've tried a few times and am afraid I may have messed up the data file as it now is only showing a datebook. mdb and a datebook.bak file under the DateBook folder I copied to my desktop, but no datebook.dab folder as it was showing before and I never did find the datebook.dat file you mentioned. I still have all of my current calendar data on my Palm Centro but I can't get it to sync with the Palm Desktop without getting the "Palm Desktop by ACCESS Application has stopped working" message. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks much!

Palm Desktop by Access won't install in Windows 7

Guidance please! After upgrading Sony VGC VA1 from XP to Win 7, I cannot install a newly downloaded version of Palm Desktop by Access . I get error messages that ...Palm Desktop by ACCESS.msi cannot be found. Uninstalling ihe previous version hasn't helped.
This question was solved.

Great! Glad to help.
AFAIK, there is no such version - 6.2.2 is the latest Access made before ceasing support for the program.
MicroSoft has had a typo on their support site for a long time now. Is this the version number you are referring to?

"The installation was interrupted before iTunes could be installed"

For several months now I have tried unsuccessfully to install iTunes on my laptop computer. The older versions worked, with several bugs, but they worked nonetheless. After installing EITHER iTunes or QuickTime, I get the messages:
"The installation was interrupted before iTunes could be installed" or "The installation was interrupted before QuickTime could be installed". The result is that NOTHING has been installed on my harddrive. I have read over many previous tech support posts on this forum and have tried many of the proposed solutions to other peoples' problems.
This isn't necessarily an error message because it doesn't 'popup' after installation, but rather is on the iTunes+QuickTime screen that begins by saying "the iTunes for Windows installer has completed". Immediately underneath is where I get "The installation was interrupted before iTunes could be installed". Followed by "the system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, run the installation again." (no ****?). My only option at this point is to click "Finish", which takes me back to the desktop with no sign of iTunes or anything.

Just noticed the post below mine solved this problem. Now additional problems have arisen...

Palm Desktop by Access will not sycn with Android using CompanionLink

I formerly used a Palm Treo but I am now using a Droid phone. I have been using CompanionLink to sync the info between my Droid and the Palm Desktop, but recently experienced some problems with the Palm Desktop. It began with Palm Desktop not opening and giving me the error message, "Palm Desktop by Access application has stopped working." I was unable to perform a sync, so I uninstalled Palm and then reinstalled it. I can now open Palm Desktop and sync my Droid with it; of course since I did a reinstall, all the info was gone from Palm Desktop. I performed a sync, and the message on the CompanionLink box says indicates it was successful, but only a few days worth of the calendar and none of the other information appears in Palm Desktop.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get Palm Desktop working correctly again so that it shows all the information I am trying to migrate there from my phone and will sync properly in the future?
Thank you.

Just in case it is not clear... that post was made after I bought the bluetooth adapter and tried following the advice provided in the Vista 64 Hotsync solution found! post. Again-- my statement of not working is for the following reasons:
1) my PC tells me that the sychronization completed with errors.
2) when I look at the log that the Backup sychronization aborted.
3) It almost invariably tells me that it Failed to backup 1 file(s) and that file is "NetworkProfiles2" through a "Protocol Error: Unknown error. (6410)"
4) many of my contacts (over half) duplicate during this synchronization.
5) many of my appointments (over half) duplicate during this synchronization.
The information about creating a virtual serial port on my PC comes from my actual palm itself. The palm info is in the HotSynch verbage and it tells me to contact my computer manufacturer. In doing so however they have no idea how to do this and Palm does not either. I am still working with HP on trying to resolve that part of it but I am thinking from the hours of research that Palm wants me to create another COM port but again the help I am finding on this is beyond my pay grade so to speak... you can check out the following link and try to help me if you like:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms885792.aspx
So... any ideas my friend? It appears that some Vista 64-bit users are having success with a bluetooth synch but I have tried emailing those that claim to have been able to do this with no luck. I am not having any luck (I hope my outline above is clearer)-- and no one has seemed to had any luck recently.
I would love to make this work-- I bought this phone for this functionality.

I tried searching online, on the disk that came with the smartphone and even reinstalling a couple times and everything is dead in the water...
Anyone able to help me out on this?
Is there an additional patch of some sort to download?

Address book from Palm Desktop by Access is missing on computer!

Please help - My address book from my Palm Desktop by access is GONE - I can find only a "address.mdb" file, but no updated .aba file - Is there a way to restore this file or find a backup? I cannot imagine how it just disappeared! I no longer use the Zire handheld as it broke, please help!
Thank you

If Thunderbird will accept .csv or .tab file formats you can export the data in those formats from PD. Use the following procedure to export your data.
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.

Palm Desktop by Access

I installed the Palm Desktop by Access with its HotSync application because it was listed a while back as an upgrade to my existing Desktop software. It seems to work fairly well, but now I can no longer HotSync my Outlook account. My Palm is a Tungsten T3. I still would like to view my emails on my Palm after I synch. Any suggestions?

Hello Fisroy and welcome to the Palm forums.
Palm Desktop 6.2.2 and earlier can sync with either itself (Palm Desktop) or Microsoft Outlook on a Windows PC. You will not be able to sync your PIM data to Thurnderbird. If a third-party solution exists, I am not aware of it.

Month view off "Date" app on Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2.2

I have Windows XP (Home) with Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2.2.
I also have a Palm Z22 and a HP TouchPad.
My problem is with the Palm Desktop. In the "Date" application it will not display the Month view. There is no problem with the Day or Week view, but when I click on the Month view,
a screen pops up that says "Application has encountered a problem and needs to close".
It then says "Send report" or "Don't send".
After clicking on either of these, the Palm Desktop window closes.
I do not know where to retrieve the "Send Report" information if it has been sent.
Any help would be appreciated as the Month view is very helpful when planning future appointments or activities.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH....
