I installed my system from Vista to Windows 7 Premium. I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9177c PC. After that I have the latest version of the HP Support Assistant download and run it. It stops at half way through and comes up with a message "your system does not meet the minimum requirements. Does anyone know what are the minimum requirements? If this is not the case, is there a version that will run on my system and also with the Windows 7 Premium?
I am happy that it worked.

Some updates could not be installed: failure on the following security updates - KB974811 KB974556
Please help me solve this problem. I have automatic updates set to say "updates are ready for your computer. Click here to see these updates'; Here is the little yellow icon in the system tray low to the right of my screen. What happens when I click on this icon is usually I then click 'express install' (and non-personalized) and then press "install".
My computer sometimes slows down a bit that it downloads / installs these updates and which can be quite a pain in the thigh because it effects everything that I'm working at the moment, and of course because you have to restart the computer. I have external hard drives 4 or 5 so I to sequentially turn them off one at a time by ejecting them, turn off the computer and then start it back up and restart the hard drives.
In any case - I can never remember to "SOME UPDATES COULD NOT BE INSTALLED the SCREEN" so I'm at a loss to know what to do. My computer is perpetually slow because the small yellow Update icon sits in the systray continually trying to draw attention to me and when I do the same thing continues to be time and again - failure! I tried closing down my antivirus and windows firewall, but nothing helped.
your help would be much appreciated, either tell me how these updates to get the update of my systray icon, or to get updates of pit.
According to belarc Advisor - I am running:
Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600)

Try the following two programs to remove it.
If this fails, contact Support about problems with their software game maker:http://www.revouninstaller.com/
Revo Uninstaller helps to uninstall software and remove unwanted programs installed on your computer even if you have problems uninstalling and can not uninstall it from Control Panel ' Windows Add / Remove Programs ".
Revo Uninstaller is a much faster and more powerful alternative to "Windows Add or Remove Programs" applet!
With its advanced and fast algorithm, Revo Uninstaller analyzes an application data before uninstall and scans after the uninstallation of an application. After that program's regular uninstaller runs, you can remove additional unnecessary files, folders, and registry keys that usually remain on your computer. Even if you have a broken installation, Revo Uninstaller scans for an application data on your hard disk and in the Windows registry and shows all the files, folders and registry keys so you can remove them.
With its unique "Hunter", Revo Uninstaller offers you some simple, easy to use, but effective and powerful methods for uninstalling software. You can use it to manage your installed or running software.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CCleaner is a freeware system, privacy and cleaning tool optimization. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up space on the hard drive. It also cleans traces of your activities online such as your Internet history. In addition, it contains a complete registry cleaner. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware! :)
See you soon.

The error message happens chronically today.
It does not matter what I try to install the air file.
I uninstalled, cleaned the registry and all the usual things.
And then re-installed-with the same error messages
Windows 7. Current update.
processor 2.8 ghz, 12 G Ram - one machine to cook breakfast and make the beds.
" The application could not be installed because the Installer file is damaged. Try to get a new setup of the author of the application file. "
This is the last log of installation-
I am not able to find out how to decipher what it means.
Someone would have noticed?

I got a response on another area of support.
And
Because I asked for help here-
I think it's the kind of thing to do to post the
steps that allowed me to correct.
I knew I had the latest Adobe air platform.
I felt that I knew that the download files were updated.
So-
What was one of the suggestions I've had -
Told to turn off the firewall and antivirus.
Instinct made me disconnect the machine from the router.
I continued and disabled all the protections I had put in place-
and watched as the first program installed air -.
Since before January.
Then put those protections back in line.
And re-attached the router line.
It doesn't seem to work now.

What version of Mac OS do you have? I guess it's 10.6.8 which is not supported by the App Builder. You need to update to a newer version of Mac OS.
