I guess the first problem I have is that I came across this forum to get an answer to a question from windows 7, and all I can see are XP and Vista of questions and answers. It's great, but I have the update above installed on Vista (Ultimate x 64). I can't seem to get installed it on Windows 7 Professional. When I stopped, he told me do not turn off the computer, because it is to install an update. But then the update is back.
Here's the updatelog of windows for the last screen full of lines:

HI - we are trying to install the beta version (18) on a Windows 8 machine for one of our customers. But, the update of Windows does not allow that to happen. We changed the approach of updating to do not have the automatic updates. But that does not solve the problem. Any help is appreciated! I guess it's a pretty easy fix, but unfortunately I'm not Windows savvy these days.
Thank you!
Oh, it's not good advice. Uninstall the last update to Flash will not remove Flash of the system, and it will leave you with a vulnerable version, the Senior Flash Player. Install the player ActiveX for Win7 won't upgrade Flash Player component built into Internet Explorer, then the user will be still stuck with an outdated version and no beta version until they run windows update again.
We distribute a beta version for Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and over all because we do not have this distribution channel (it's the same reason that we do not have a beta of Chrome), and the binary of Win8 differ from those we publish for Windows 7. There is no effective way to do at the moment.
We talk to Microsoft to provide a mechanism for the distribution of beta versions and releases of extended support of Flash Player in Win8 + users, but these vehicles of distribution would have to come directly from Microsoft and we always talk just to this topic, so there is no solution in the short term.
If you want to evaluate beta versions on Win8 + you look essentially NPAPI on Firefox or PPAPI on the opera.

I continually receive an error indicating this update has failed. I tried to understand what could be the cause. I just bought a new laptop (Acer - Aspire) which has been preloaded with Windows 7, almost a month. All other MS updates have been successful. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Please note that I am not a guru comuter, so if you can keep your answers in other words, it would be most appreciated. Thank you!
Hi Jejali_67,
Sorry that the problem still persists!
You can try to unregister and re-register Windows install and check if you are able to perform updates.
To unregister and re-register the windows installer
1. exit all Windows programs.
2. click on start, type run in the search box and then press ENTER, type msiexec / unregister in the Open box and then click OK.
3. click on start, type run in the start search box and then press ENTER, type msiexec/regserver in the Open box, and then click OK.
4 restart your computer.
This should solve the problem and you will be able to perform the update of windows.

Internal error during the installation of DirectX for the user final web runtime install
Hi all
I was browsing the forums and reading the discussions that relate to my question. Unfortunately, each of the solutions that I found do not seem to solve my specific problem.I recently got a new laptop (Dell E6540) and thought I'd try world of combat aircraft. My old laptop did not have a graphics card that has been up to the task, but I think this one does.I am running Windows 7, which integrates the latest version of DirectX (11). I downloaded and installed the game, and when I click on 'Play', I get the message informing me that I'm missing the d3dx9_43.dll. I then visit the Microsoft Download Center and try to download the installer of web runtime DirectX end-user. Following the installation of the components in the stage of finalisation of the web installer, I get the following message:"An internal system error has occurred. Please refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log in your Windows folder to determine the problem. »I then click OK in the error message, the web installer shows failed to install, so I click "Finish." At this point, the popsup Program Compatibility Assistant, saying: the program may not be installed properly and gives me the opportunity to 'Reinstall using recommended settings', what I'm doing. Then run the web installer a second time, giving me the same error internal system presented above.I wonder if someone might have suggestions as to how I can resolve this issue (or to find the above mentioned .log files).Thanks for your help.While Win7 installed DX 9, 10 and 11 it does not install with all files.
d3dx9_43.dll is the latest DX 9 files.
The best method when you have not already updated DX is to use the DX Web Installer,.
then you can try using them.
Download DirectX end-user Runtime Web Installer from the official Microsoft Download CenterIf you have the same problem with the DX Web Installer trying to boot into Safe Mode with networking
and try to run the installation program from there Web DX.-L' Web Installer does not overwrite the DX files, it only installs the DX 'missing' files, so when it
is a DX of corrupted files and you do not receive an error with the name that you will need to use the full
DirectX Redist (2010), which I assume is what you are trying to use, as this will overwrite all the
DX files.
-Similarly, you can use Safe Mode (networking not required that you have all files) may
be used when there is a problem installing DX with the complete installation program.-When there is a corrupted file of DX and you get the name of this file, an error, as with
your d3dx9_43.dll, you can delete this file in System32 (sysWOW64 when using 64-bit
Windows) and when you run the Web Installer will replace the now "missing" with a new file
copy.Absence of the foregoing, it may be your problem is more to do not have the necessary permissions to
install the DX.
This could be due to UAC settings too high, does not not as administrator or another
restrictive framework, maybe even your anti-virus (disable temporarily when trying to install DX).
Try - R / click the DXSETUP.exe. Then go to Properties-compatibility and check the box
next to the race... as an administrator.

Installation Wizard gives an error during the installation of update on CS5 CS6
We are trying to install CS6 on a new windows computer with windows 8.1. We bought a version update for CS5 a couple of years ago and the installation wizard asks CS5 serial number, but when we enter the code, the wizard says serial number does not match the product. We do not know what package it belongs to, but we tried all packages and the error evertime. It did not work on another computer 2 3 years ago, but we don't have access to this device more. Could someone help us please? Thank you
If you install CS5 there is not need to do this if your only reason is so that you can install CS6. CS6 is a standalone product and does not update CS5. You'll need is to first install CS6 and then activate it with CS6 serial number. After that he will notice that you do not have a version more old qualification and then did you select CS5 as this release candidate and then provide its serial number.

Recently, I received 646 error code when you try to install the important/automatic updates to Windows Vista. What patches are there for this issue? What risks are there to do not overcome this problem?
rivercitylady,
Usually with the code 646 error, if you download the update and install it manually that will fix the problem.
Go to the Microsoft Download Center and search for the number of the update has failed. Download on your PC, then run it from there. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

Original title: Error1711
Hi all
I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked. I could not find if it has.
I got ill of updates on some installation programs, java, adobe, iTunes. When I try to install the update, I get an error saying that there is not enough disk space. This computer is 1 month with a 1Terabyte HD, running Windows 7 x 64. I have 882 GB of free space.
I feel that it is probably a mistake with the TEMP files, but I am unable to find the location of the file. I ran system restore, CCleaner and disk cleanup all to nothing does not. I don't know why I can't find the C:\Windows\System32\Installer file, but I can't.
If you can help point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Hi GoGreen83,
As MVP TaurArain mentioned that the problem is related to the Windows Installer, I suggest you try the following steps:
Step 1: Unregister and then reregister Windows Installer
1 registration of Windows Installer. To do this, click Start, type run, click Run, type msiexec /Unregister in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. reregister Windows Installer. To do this, click Start, type run, click Run, type msiexec /regserver/regserver in the Open box, and then click OK.
Step 2: Auditor of file system (CFS) scan to fix all of the corrupted system files. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the link below:
How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
Now check if the problem is resolved
Deleting temporary files
Disk Cleanup should take care of temporary files, Temp location C:\Windows\Temp
Click Start > type Temp in the search box and press on enter, clear the contents of the folder
Similarly, type folder under search and delete temporary files
