Cannot install Installer.exe - a program "a newer version already exists"...?

I try to install Seagate Manager (I have a Seagate external hard drive for years and it worked fine).

I received an upgrade, and therefore he (Seagate Manager) software has stopped working.

I spend hours with the friendly support of Seagate to re - install the Manager, including the old version.

"But every time that the installation stops at halfway and I get a message: cannot install software - a newer version already exists.

The technician tried everything-no results.

I was told that it must be a registry error / number of Microsoft of bribery...

How can I find the problem?

I searched the registry for leftovers under the name of Seagate Manager: no results

I use CCleaner, which I trust and have no problem with - no result

MY machine is up to date, running smoothly, quickly, in good shape all - score 7.4

I ran all available maintenance tasks, sfc scannow, diskcheck, etc.

What other options do I ave to eliminate the alleged 'new version' - or what ever it is intended to prevent the re - install?

Thanks in advance

I use CCleaner, which I trust.

-> If you trust in the service of 'cleansing' of any registry cleaner, then you are a member of a small minority.

The technician tried everything-no results.

-> The message you see is triggered by Seagate Software. Only Seagate engineers would know these triggers, but it seems that they do not pass them on to their support department. They could consist of a file, an entry in a file or a registry key. Given the very large number of keys from registry and values, it is impossible to find relaxation by trial and error. ("Registry cleaners" facing the same problem: they cannot possibly know the purpose of each key of registry or the value.) They are just guessing.)

I try to install Seagate Manager (I have a Seagate external hard drive for years and it worked fine).

I received an upgrade, and therefore he (Seagate Manager) software has stopped working.

-> I want to use system restore to get us back to a point before you install the upgrade. Otherwise, I lower the rear machine to the last image I have.

  • Dist. Kit fails to install, a newer version already exists of reports

    I'm with CVI 8.5.1 on Windows XP sp 2.  distribution kit fails to install executable for a project, sites that have a newer version already exists.  However, previous versions did exist on either the c: drive or that they appear in the Control Panel Add / Remove programs.  Any ideas?

    The installation program is to find indications that the release 1.0.14 of your software already exists on the system. If this is not true, then he could have some problems when uninstalling this version. If you search your registry database for the product code {7D8D2E0B-CEB1-44D0-A081-1B0C039F9157}, I'm sure you'll get some hits. If the software cannot be uninstalled from Add/Remove programs as you say, then I recommend to use the enclosed MSIBlast utility to remove the order of it. Unzip and run the program, and then check the box "Display all installers" at the top. Find your software (by name, but check the product code) in the list, and then uninstall it. Be very careful when you use this utility that you uninstall the right thing. You don't want to accidentally delete something important.

  • Tried to install Adobe Reader on the Mac, "new version already installed.

    I am trying to install Adobe Reader on my Mac. I uninstalled and reinstalled. I keep getting the message that the new version is already installed...

    Hi Sarah Simac,

    Seems that the reader is always present in your system. Its not completely uninstalled.

    Try to directly remove the application from the Applications folder, which is just trash/Applications/Adobe Reader.app.

    Also, this can cause a break in the features of Safari to read PDF files using Adobe Reader plugin. To resolve this problem, go into/Library/Internet Plug - Ins / and remove AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin

    Also try to open this link in another browser: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution

    Let us know if it works.

  • Update of Adobe Reader DC - New Version already installed

    I am currently machine

    Windows 7 Enterprise x 64 with the image of the company

    G2 EliteOne 800 HP AIO

    The user has a corporate webapp that is supposed to view reports in PDF with Adobe Reader form through a HTML framework. The version of Reader included in the image is Adobe Reader X. After testing on the users computer and my own, I found that I could launch the report on my machine (with Adobe Reader DC) but not on the cost to build with Reader X.

    Of course, my first thought was to simply update X DC. I have downloaded and run the installer from the Adobe website, and received a message that says "the installation process failed. A more recent version is already installed. "

    East was quite confused as I was updating certainly from X (an older version) to DC (a newer version). What I found was that the original installation of Reader X disappeared completely and I couldn't reinstall all versions! No ads for Adobe Reader X lies in programs and features.

    The only remaining information that I could find were some reg entries and an empty folder in /Program Files called 'Adobe Reader DC", which was devoid of all files.

    It almost seems that starts the process of update installer replaces the old program, installation failure somewhere but do not make back the installation and reinstall the previous version.

    I also tried to run the cleanup tool from Adobe to remove all persistent files but that did not help at all. In case anyone asks, I have run all the tasks in a user has administrator rights account above.

    Has anyone seen this problem before? As is, the only way I know to get Reader X is to make a new picture of the machine.

    This is not the latest version of iTunes. The latest version is 12.4.1. What version of Windows are you using? If you use anything in Windows 7, it does not support the latest version of iTunes and the iPhone OS. You will need to update your computer.

  • Cannot install the printer. The print processor does not exist.

    Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.  I am able to install HP LaserJet printers but no virtual printer.  I can not load the XPS from Windows printer or Print to OneNote.  I also tried to load more than one PDF printer and none of them work.  The error I keep gettig to "cannot install the printer.  The print processor does not exist. »

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    My laptop has been reloaded from a picture, and I was not able to start the print spooler at all. I have studied the issue and cleaned files and registry entries and was able to print on real printers, but not virtual. That's when I asked the question.

    Finished reimage the computer again, and once again, I could not start the print service. We discovered that the image that the laptop was built from was actually a VMWare virtual machine, so we started to look in that direction.   We had to delete the following entry in the registry and rebooting, how the print spooler began to work very well.

    [Print HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\ThinPrint for VMWare Port Monitor]

    You wanted to post this in case someone else ran into a similar problem.

    This is what worked for me.

    I copy the files from the print processor from another machine to work with the same architecture as the one who has the problem (x 86 or x 64).

    Step 1: Stop the print spooler service.

    Step 2: Copy all the files and folders on the system to work under C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64.

    Step 3: Make a backup of the system files listed in the C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64 problem.

    Step 4: Paste the files that you copy from the system of work in the case of the United Nations, the problem system.

    Step 5: Start the print spooler service.

    Try to connect or install your net printer and it should work now.

    I hope this work for all of you.

  • "cannot complete the operation because the file or folder already exists.

    Hi all

    Just spent in ghettovcbg2 and I must say it is indeed very nice.

    Just a small question though.

    It's not like it is possible to do multiple backups per day?

    I get the error "cannot complete the operation because the file or folder already exists.

    (1) is it only possible to make 1 backup per VM a day?

    (2) can I save to NFS I don't store files in the ESX Server data store?

    It should work automatically, this is more than a warning. You should be able to run more than one backup per day? If that is not the case, please read the FAQ here - http://communities.vmware.com/groups/ghettovcbg2 and then to provide me with the details requested.

  • Windows XP: cannot install Windows updates or programs

    original title: problems with updating programs on Windows XP

    For a few months, I had this problem with my computer when I try to update most of the things. For example, iTunes updates take forever and never actually update. So I'm always several updates behind. This isn't a problem for me yet, but on top of that, my Windows Live Messenger wants to update me to a new version that came out a while ago, but when I try, there is a problem with the Windows Installer service or something. In addition, whenever I try to download various MMORPGS like Maplestory or recently Iris Online or one of their update patches, there is always a mistake, or it is said it is impossible to connect to the internet when I don't know I have a reliable internet connection. Some games offline lemma doesn't install either if I have to get installed on an external hard drive through someone of another PC and then re - copy the files installed on my PC (or just launched from the hard drive) to play some games. I had to completely erase my memory some time back because of a false Spyware and I had to do a manual reinstallation, but had Dell walk me through it on the phone. I don't know if that contributed to the problem or no for sure yet... I'm really tired of not being able to update these things or play games more. Can someone help me out here? If you have further questions about things or you wish to contact me by e-mail directly, just ask. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help you. ^^;

    Hi Tony_Tenacious,

    I suggest you try the methods mentioned below and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Perform a clean boot before proceeding with the update of windows.

    Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting steps, restore your computer to Normal startup mode.

    Method 3: Reset the Windows Update components.

    That's all. I uninstalled a previous version because of a "Core" issue that has blocked the working version. I uninstalled this version, but whenever I try to install Adobe Acrobat now, I get the same message - a newer version is already installed. Evil. There is no such thing.
