Install issues with Rise of Nations
I have a version of Rise of Nations: Gold Edition - I can't install on new Vista PC. Tried to install from the disc - click on run as administrator, run auto - you name it, begins to run for a few seconds that everything stops. Even when I move all the files to the PC - can't the .exe to go.
Computer doesn't lock upwards, all the other apps will work perfectly. Is it a question of settings or a security problem? No engine installation seems to come.
Thanks in advance

Install issue with the Oracle database Client in Hyperion 11.1.2.4

That means ODP.net cannot be installed in an existing home to Oracle. If this is not the case, how can I install it separately to get the job of EPMA.
OK got it works by manipulating inventory. It seems that there is an old facility that was causing the problem.

Install issues with C:\Users as a symbolic link to D:\Users
I discovered this problem earlier this year, but has been recently bitten by it again, so I thought I should report it.
I have 2013 LabView student which was delivered with a Sparkfun Arduino edition. My computer has an SSD as C: and a magnetic HDD as D:. I am familiar with Linux (Debian) and like the idea of users being entirely on a separate OS drive install to do the backup not only data, but also my easiest settings. I have my entire users folder on D: and a symbolic link (mklink j) on C:. Nothing that I have installed or used seems to have a problem with this configuration, until I first tried to install LabView 2013. The installer actually converted the symbolic link to a directory which as you can imagine all sorts of things in Windows. I have to go in recovery to resetablish the symbolic link mode.
I got there, but recently installed Packager NI 2014 so I got to spend the last LINX and came across the same bug. (Installation of the latest LINX has not triggered the bug, just installing MPON.) Finally, I reaiized what has been wroing after panic that someone sniffed my network traffic and hacked my Microsoft account because I had just used a public WiFi at a local library without sending my traffic via an encrypted VPN tunnel...
I don't know how to get more details about this bug, and I'm really not want to try to reproduce due to the dispute must recover. I hope someone in the NC can it track down and crush.
SymbolicLinks under Windows using for Installation of the program paths is strongly discouraged by Microsoft itself as it break various things, not only confusing installers. They that prohibit specifically for several places because of that. Symbolic links, theoretically possible since NTFS v3 only appeared in Windows Vista and are even in Windows 7, a feature and not hidden. Hidden enough that it is not used often and he still has many quirks.
Windows Installer Component and component Wiindows Services still are struggling to work correctly with symbolic links, which makes it difficult for software developers to create standard installers who can actually work correctly when targeting paths that contain symbolic links.
Your Linux background very probably plays tricks on you. While symbolic (and difficult) links are an inherent feature of almost every Unix file system driver since its inception at the beginning, it is still a feature rarely exercised under Windows, except for some internal virtualization of Windows files to the locations of user files.
A lu interestying is this wiki article whiich details some of the possible problems with symbolic links even under the most recent versions of Windows. For example, it is interesting to note that redirect the program basically files will be an upgrade of Windows fail catastrophally.

Install issues with PSE8 for Mac...
I bought and downloaded from the Elements 8 for Mac yesterday - no problem with the download. When I go to Setup/install the software, however, I get a "Installer alert" blank screen - no click or rectify (AFAIK). I've seen other threads here, but I don't seem to have these questions (although I'm not the most tech savvy, I admit). Here's my info:
OS Tiger 10.4.1 (not upgraded to Snow Leopard)
Intel processor
Any ideas on how to move beyond the alert "Installer"?
Thanks - Melissa
Try to create a new administrative user (system prefs > user accounts) and running the installation from there.

Rise of Nations Thrones and Patriots - updated "Error", unable to find the Patch
As the title says, I have installed T & P RoN, and I can't patch for the latest version, which would allow me to play in multiplayer mode. Whenever I click on the button "Check for Updates", it says "Error", then "can't find the Patch. How can I fix?
