• Update to Windows 7 RTM failing - error 80070652 - cannot install new software or run Windows Update successfully.

  I upgraded from Win 7 RC for Win 7 RTM on my 64-bit machine from Dell and started installing all my software.  Everything was fine until I started Windows Update and had a list of 15 updates that needed to be done.  Several have had agreements that I had to accept, he wasn't the normal process of "update in the background.  I had to leave and is concerned to let the process of continuous updating on its own and potentially hang, so I cancelled it.

  Since then, I can't install any software or to upgrade my system.  Updates fail with the error message "WindowsUpdate_80070652" which seems to be undefined.  In some cases, I get an error message another installation is running and the current installation or update cannot be performed until the end of the current installation.

  I restarted my dozens of machine time and then immediately began installing or upgrading windows - without success.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  It seems that there is a dead plant that does not block updates and installs.

• Windows install-"error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name"; After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, cannot load new software. ____

  After an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, everything on the system seemed to work properly. up to what I tried to re - install everything deleted software or install new software.  As soon as Windows Installer starts the following error message appears: "error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name.

  If this could have something to do with the new pads MSFT security permissions on folders (with padlock) during a upgrade as well as related hidden junctions by compared to the user by the system?

  I tried to install the update system of Lenovo and MSFT Windows Installer Clean Up clean in the hope that the software would help alleviate my problems. See below the link on advice from MSFT on the same error.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/%2Fkb%2F328162

  Unfortunately, I cannot even load the previously recommended THAT MSFT software to solve this error.  I also tried to install the software as 'Run as Administrator' and in 'Safe Mode '.  Even if I could not load the software recommended to MSFT, I was able to install iTunes to Apple through Apple Software Update, I guess, that they do not use Windows Installer.

  With the new structure of junction there is several files or links to the same folder across file system, if it is a folder authorization number which specific files/links are I need to remove restrictions?

  Any help would be appreciated, if not I'll have to do a clean install and individually reinstall each piece of software... Thank you.

  I think I found the solution for this point, because I have just encountered the same problem in our environment and here's what I did to solve it:

  -Create a higher level permissions at the root of the folder redirection (for example \\servername\mydocredirfolder): grant the Group authenticated users the following permissions and apply it to "this folder only" ALLOW: list folders/read data, reading, reading attributes, read extended attributes, create files / add data

  I think the MSI is trying to read the free space on the disk on the server, but it cannot because it tries to access the folder where your my documents redirection is sitting.

  Good luck!

• install new software, but the files are old

  I just got a Palm Centro.  I had a Palm 505 for years, had Palm desktop on my Vista computer for 1 1/2 years.  I installed the Palm Desktop software that came with my Centro on my Vista computer and my calendar, notes, addresses all look as they did there is 1 1/2 years.  I had synced immediately before installing the new software.  I had a return to the top of my file with all these files, so I replaced my 'Kris' file with address, calendar, etc. files.  I closed my Palm Desktop and restarted.  No luck, I'm still all my old info - not up to date.  I have not synced my phone with the computer, because it is not good.  And, I'm afraid to synchronize my current palm and lose everything out there (since my "backup") doesn't seem to work.  Help!  How to bring back all my current info?

  Did you install the version of Palm desktop that you got with the Centro, 6.2?

  There is a procedure to try to recover your files. Search in the following location to the user name of Palm Desktop folder.

  C:\Users\(Windows username) \Documents\Palm OS Desktop\

  Look in the folder of user name for category folders, of addresses/contacts, calendar/calendar, etc. In these files are data files. Search for files with names like address.mdb, address.mdb.bak. The .mdb file is the current data file, the. mdb.bak is the backup file. Try to rename the .mdb file to. mdb.old. Then rename it. mdb.bak (remove the.bak extension) .mdb file. Open Palm desktop and see if the data is there. IF you do not have the .bak file, then you cannot rename to retrieve the data.

  When you migrate to a new device, use of palm desktop 6.2, the files of the old version of Palm desktop in the user name folder are not compatible. You can't drag and drop the files to the new user name folder.  Data in Palm desktop 6.2 files are in a format that Microsoft Access Datbase, so the extension .mdb.

  See if you can rename the files .mdb first to see if you can recover the data. If you can not use method, can 'clean up' uninstall Palm desktop currently installed, install the version you were using before the update, copy the username folder you backed up from the old version and paste it into the old Palm Desktop folder. Open Palm desktop and see if the data is there. Another option is to sync the old device to the old version of Palm desktop and then export the data.

  Once it is installed and you have data intact in the old version of Palm desktop, export data, install the new Palm desktop and import the data. The export and import procedure, you can use the data in any version of Palm desktop.

  If the change of name does not work, do the 'clean' Uninstall using instructions below.

  You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
  is happening. You can find your data files by clicking on start--> Documents-->
  Palm OS Desktop. Select your Palm Desktop user name, and then right-click and
  copy. Then go to the desktop of your PC, click on a blank spot block and select.

  Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove anything that has to do
  with Palm Desktop on your computer.
  Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
  C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
  C:\Users\[Vista username] \appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
  PalmOne
  C:\Users\[Vista username] \appdata
  * Note You may need to show hidden folders to join appdata. To do this go
  in your control panel and folder options open. Go to the tab and disable
  hide hidden files.
  Once this is done, you will need to remove certain keys in the registry of your PC operating system.

  Word of warning, go here and removing the wrong thing can cause your PC
  commissioning, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
  you're not sure of yourself, see if you have a friend who can help you or a
  PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to remove. To make sure that we have a good copy of the current registry, we make a backup of the registry.

  Go to start on your PC in the search box type "regedit.exe" without the quotes.

  Highlight COMPUTER, go to--> export file. Should appear with a save as box.
  Current place of residence is fine, must be within My Documents, or save to a location that you will remember. In the name of the file in low type "backup [todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Then, the most difficult part.

  The best way to ensure that your work with the right key, select the key that is installation quick palm and press delete on your keyboard. You will be asked, you of course. Say Yes. Do the same for all the keys below.

  If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.

• Cannot install HP Software Solutions for C5550 on Vista

  I recently bought a new Photosmart C5550 all-in-one printer. I spent two full days, try to install the software on my Vista desktop. After countless hours on the phone with technical support to get the same results (fatal error & Windows Installer problems), I was told to contact the computer manufacturer. Another two hours on the phone with tech support and was told to reinstall Windows. I've done reluctantly. I received all of the updates in my installed security software and then tried the printer... same results as before reintsalling Windows. I tried to reformat once more, updates installed and then installed the printer drivers & software before installing security software. It actually installed and worked very well.  Last week, I discovered that there is an updated driver and software of the printer so I decided to install it, don't think not that I would have the same problems. Is it installed perfectly on my laptop (which she had done before), but would not install it on my desktop. After another few hours in line with the technical support I uninstalled all the software and printer drivers & stop all unnecessary processes (including security software), but still no luck. I am now without a printer on my desk and can't figure out what to do. I don't want to have to reformat again and try to install. I wonder if I uninstall my security software if it works because the printer seems to install without security software installed. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

  Just to update, I registered & re-recorded MSI before installing since that was the error message that I kept getting.

• Cannot install new hardware.

  It is a very weird problem...

  All computers are Windows XP with SP3.

  I can't install new hardware on computers.  When I plug in a USB keyboard or USB drive, the computer detects it and adding new hardware pop-up... and every time Assistant and he told me he can't install the new hardware.

  I tried with several (work) keyboards, mouse, external hard drives, flash drives all with the same result.

  The keyboard and mouse that are currently connected to the computer very well - work however, if I unplug and plug it into another USB port, they stop working too (probably because they are recognized as new hardware for Windows at this time), until I plug them into their original USB ports.

  In the BIOS, all new and existing keyboards work fine.  I also started a live CD of Ubuntu and all existing works and new material perfectly well there too.

  I uninstalled the USB devices from Device Manager too, but there is no change.

  I connected a PS/2 keyboard, which works fine in the BIOS, but then when I get into Windows, it stops working like the rest nine.

  I tried to start safe mode, but no change is.

  And Yes, I am an administrator on the computers.

  On one of the computers I tried to do a repair of Windows by using the Windows XP CD.  I am able to boot from the CD and select start Windows repair.  However, when I get to the part of the facility where you can only select your language, NO keyboard or mouse work, and I'm totally stuck at this time.  Then I had to do a clean install of Windows on this computer, and everything's fine.  But I can't really do it to my other computer.

  I don't know what else to try.  Any suggestions are appreciated!

  Hi BatmanBob,

  • You have security software installed on the computer?
  • Do you have a group policy on the computer?

  Step 1

  You can also try to temporarily disable the security software of the computer and try to install new hardware and check if it installs. If you are able to install, you can contact the manufacturer of security software and check if you need to change the settings. Later, re-enable the security software.

   

  Step 2

  You can also put the computer in a clean boot state and check if any third-party application blocking installation of the equipment and try to install the drivers in a clean boot state. Access the link below and follow the steps to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows XP.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

  You can also communicate with the system / network administrator to check if there is some group policies for installing the drivers and change it.

  If you are still having the same problem after following the steps above I suggest you to send your issuein the TechNet community, given that the computer is on a domain network. Please visit the link below to find a community that will provide the support you want.

• Cannot install printer software

  Try to install the software for the new printer and it does not allow me to. I changed our main account user to the Administrators group and rebooted the computer and the error msg still appears when I try to install the software that I am not an administrator. I even tried to disable UAC temporarily to allow installation and the error msg always comes to the top. Any suggestions? Tried to create a new user to be admin, but it would not allow me to create.

  When you go to run Setup, right-click on it and select run as administrator from the context menu; you will need to provide your credentials for administrator (user name and password).

  Kind regards
