incorrect operating system type?

Similar Questions

• How can I get the installer for my application check the operating system type and then install the correct driver type?

  I have a request that I wrote and have been use and distribute for awhile. The installer I created for this application is an additional installer to install a driver for the USB connection. The USB connection is actually a virtual COM Port. The problem is that the people who drafted modified driver setup the installation program itself. They used to have an installer that would check for 32-bit or 64-bit OS and then install the appropriate driver.

  Now, they have two distinct installation programs: one for the other for 32-bit and 64-bit. They let the user know their OS and install the appropriate driver. I'd rather not have to rely on my users to do. From what I've seen the creater Installer provides that an executable to be run after the application installs.

  Is it possible to have the installer of the application, check the type of OS and then run the correct executable file after installing my application? I think that I could write an Installer 'wrapper' that checks the type of operating system then executes the correct Installer. But I expect a better solution.

  So, I make it work!

  The trick is to find a way to determine what type of OS you are using. The method I used was, indeed, read the environment variable. A buddy of mine sent me this link:

  http://StackOverflow.com/questions/2401756/how-to-find-if-the-machine-is-32bit-or-64bit One of the phrases he bibliography the Processor_Architecture environment variable.

  It seemed like a reasonable idea. So I started to research how read LV it environment variables turns out, you do it by reading a registry key. There is an example of LV on how to read a registry key. But I did not know where they are in the registry. So, I searched the Processor_Architecture registry. I found it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment.

  According to the article in the link, this value will already be x 86 for a 32 bit OS, or something with 64 inside. I just check the response for x 86 string. If it is, I just run the x 86 version of the driver Installer. Otherwise, I run the x 64 version.

  It turned out to be as simple as that.

  I hope this helps someone.

• Windows Vista Build 6002 this copy of windows is not geniue (product key incorrect for the wrong operating system type)

  OK, so after having received a computer from second hand for the game, I started to find that he was not registered. I tried to register it with the product key on the machine, but wait - that's Vista Ultimate, not the business of Vista on the computer! To prove that it was legitimate, he says "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista. You should run Windows Vista set up or enter a Windows Vista Business product key." If I had to pitch the series up (I don't know how), would it erase my hard drive of all it's data and drivers (which I do not want to happen)? I tried to look in the little upgrade Anytime, but

  He just had an option to compare the editions of Windows Vista. Help please!

  The key used is the KMS of professional for Windows Vista Volume License.

  MS licenses require a reactivation with the host at least every 180 days.

  You must reformat and reinstall using Ultimate - you should be able to buy from Dell recovery disks, if the built-in recovery partition has been deleted.

  You can download files that can be used to create the startup disk for Vista of links to this site...  http://www.heidoc.NET/Joomla/technology-science/Microsoft

• Incorrect operating system on the new recovery disc - Satellite U200-115

  I have a Toshiba Satellite U200-115 model No.PLUA0E - 0970372N which ran from Windows XP Professional. Stupidly, I decided to reformat the hard disk to clean. When I got to use my original recovery disk I found that it was badly scratched and unusable. I just got a new recovery disk, but he installed Windows Vista not what the machine came with.

  It says "this copy of Windows is not genuine" and that the "product key is invalid for activation. I don't have a product key for Vista only for XP Professional!
  What should I do now?

  Is your laptop comes with WXP Pro. In my opinion, you should communicate with Bertelsmann (https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx) and ask what is the problem.

  In Windows 7, you can get a lot of details by selecting Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, system information, components, storage disks.

• Trying to type of SCSI controller with guest operating system list

  I'm trying to shoot a list using PowerCLI of each virtual machine, each SCSI controller and the operating system, it runs. I'm able to pull data very well, but the problem that I am running attempts to export it with anything (html, csv, xml). Here is my script up to now:

  $vm = get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine-property @("nom", "Config.Hardware.Device", "Guest.GuestFullName") | Select-Object - property name, @{N = "SCSI controller"; E={($_. Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_.} DeviceInfo.Label - match "SCSI"}). DeviceInfo.Summary}}, @{N = 'Running OS'; E={$_. Guest.GuestFullName}} | Format-Table - Autosize-Wrap

  The problem that I am running is when I try to make:

  $vm | convetto-html

  It exports which seems to be a GUID ID, but not the actual data. If I echo the variable $vm, I see the data I expect to formatted as I want to, I can't go out only in a format outside of the console. I also tried another method

  $vms = get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine-property @("nom", "Config.Hardware.Device", "Guest.GuestFullName")
  $result = @)
  foreach ($vm to $vms)
  {
  $newrow = "" | Select-object Name, controller, OS
  $newrow.name = $vm.name
  $newrow.controller = $vm | Select-Object - property ($_.) Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_.} DeviceInfo.Label - match "SCSI"}). DeviceInfo.Summary
  $newrow.os = $vm | Select-Object - property $____. Guest.GuestFullName
  $result += $newrow
  }

  It lists the name of the virtual machine, but the other two columns show VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine. Probably missing me something simple here, but I can't understand it. What Miss me?

  Thank you for your help in advance.

  Try this:

  $vms = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property @("Name", "Config.Hardware.Device", "Guest.GuestFullName")
  $result = @()
  foreach($vm in $vms)
  {
      $newrow = "" | select-object Name, Controller, OS
      $newrow.name = $vm.name
      $newrow.controller = ($vm.Config.Hardware.Device | where{$_.DeviceInfo.Label -match "SCSI"}).DeviceInfo.Summary
      $newrow.os = $vm.Guest.GuestFullName
      $result += $newrow

• downloaded updates for 64-bit os when I have the 32-bit operating system

  About 2 months ago, I downloaded some updates for vista 64-bit os when I use the 32-bit operating system and he did something, I believe, my registry. Now I have problems with my updates. Do you have any solutions?

  Hi batoutaaustin22,

  Thank you for using answers Forum.

  I suggest using the System File Checker to search for 64-bit updates files were damaged.

  The System File Checker tool

  To determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search .

  2 right-click cmd in the programs list and then click run as administrator .

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue

  3. at the command prompt, the following line, and then press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  Please let us know if that helps.

• had to install the new operating system and bookmarks are gone

  Hiya. I had problems with the computer and the fix was to install a new operating system (windows 7 it was old, windows 8 is the new). Most of my old files make the switch, but when I downloaded firefox, my favorites have disappeared. I looked in my profile in the menu, but it's the profile that I created today by downloading firefox. Where can I find my old profile? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you, Billy

  Was this an upgrade of type "on the spot" where your user folder

  C:\Users\youroldusername\
  

  was intact, or did you end up with a new user folder? In the case of a new user folder, you will find a folder named

  C:\Windows.old\Users\youroldusername\
  

  If so, your Firefox data are probably here - and here's how I suggest to access:

  First of all, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

  Then click in:

  Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

  Note: there is a cache under AppData\Local folder, but everything important is under AppData\Roaming.

  Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably one you want to restore.

  This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect these data in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.

  https://support.Mozilla.org/questions/1024189#answer-638319

  A little luck?

  Note that if you really ONLY want to bookmark, copy the last two backups of the old bookmarkbackups folder to a location such as the desktop, see the following article (you will use 'Choose file' in the menu to access these backups): restoring bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer. Note that this process will replace all new bookmarks that you may have saved since installing Firefox again. If you need to preserve those, first use the export feature: Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks.

• Use the 'Open with' dialog of the operating system

  Whenever I have right click on a file in Xubuntu and choose "open with another application...". "the next dialog box is presented by the operating system:

  https://support.CDN.Mozilla.NET/media/uploads/images/2015-07-29-00-31-36-e5da3e.PNG

  That's nice and I like Firefox/Thunderbird to the same behavior. But if these applications do not have a default application assigned the MIME type of that the following dialog box appears:

  https://support.CDN.Mozilla.NET/media/uploads/images/2015-07-29-00-31-45-80c2c1.PNG

  I don't want to add MIME types to FF, I want to change the window/dialog box that appears when I want to open a file with an application 'other '.
  Is it possible to say that by default, the operating system 'Open with' dialog box should be used?

  Thank you.

  Concerning
  Tim

  you could be wrong here - that points to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1129873 , that will be fixed in firefox 41 (I have not read all the details it y still)

• "Missing operating system" is displayed when you try to start Windows 10

  I have been using bootcamp to access the 10 Windows for quite awhile. It was working perfectly until a member of the family installed a Windows Update, but the battery is dead during the update. Following this window would charge any. A black screen with a blinking cursor. After that, I went back on fairing and wrong used the partition synchronization tool. Now, Windows is in a worse state and the "Missing operating system" message when you try to get back in. In addition, the Mac startup disk no longer allows me to reboot the laptop using the bootcamp partition, as if the partition is not more detected. Disk utility simply shows a greyed out "Disk0s4."

  I spent a lot of time looking for a solution, but without success. Here are some of the things I've tried so far:
