Could not create the required folder: / Users/username/Library/Application Support / Adobe / Lightroom / develop Presets. (2) an error occurred when attempting to change modules.

    When I tried LR 5 running on the previous system, I got the same error module changing, but cannot find anything on the Adobe site and thought that maybe the program was not compatible with the system. But here again the same problem. I really want to stop using the old computer with LR 3 and use the updates, I bought.

    can you please let me know what is the root cause?

    Thank you.

    Why do you need ODBC to connect to Oracle?

    Do you realize that I'm not standing behind you.

    I don't know what you post.

    Actually, you said similar to below.

    my car does not.

    Tell me how to move my car.

    You have not yet posted version or name of the operating system.

    ODBC is misconfigured.

    No one knows if you have error of commission (doing something wrong) or error of omission (not doing something that needs to be done).

    I installed Adobe Lightroom CC.  Launching, a popup appears, which says: "AN INTERNAL ERROR has OCCURRED.  Could not create the required folder: /Users/(my user name)/Library/Application Support / Adobe / Lightroom / develop Presets. "So even if Lightroom CC is installed, it will not launch.  What should I do to allow him to launch?

  • Installation fails with "internal error 2502.

    I have a client that is running Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) and my application setup CVI-built fails with "internal error 2502.

    This installation kit has been deployed successfully on hundreds of computers with different versions of Windows, and I never saw it. No device drivers or advanced libraries - just standard execution. I use CVI 9.0.1.

    Some old problems with the Office installation, date/time settings etc. of research show very little - but I still found nothing which indicates what means this error.

    Ideas or ideas very welcome.

    Thank you

    Thank you love. It seems that the problems #2 (permissions) were part of it and possibly other problems linked to the virus. It will re - open this computer from scratch. Detective Conan.

  • Installation NOR Configuration Portable 4.7.0 failed with the following error Internal error 2203

    Dear reader,

    some advice please, I can't find someone else with a similar problem on the Forums or I'm looking in the wrong place.

    I'm having problems with installing an evaluation version of LabView 2010 64-bit on Windows 7 Lenovo ThinkPad laptop. I tried three attempts to install and uninstall and I get different messages each time. I run as administrator and insured that no other software is running, with partial success. I got to the stage where the application looks like it is running, but after a message "installation failed." So I don't know what are the underlying issues there might be if I have to evaluate, I suspect that the installation is corrupted.

    The Update Service indicates that there is an update, but the Service is in a loop where the bar past green to almost 90% and then again about 10%, with a frequency of once every 8 seconds or more. Looking at my traffic on the Internet, I do not see evidence of any updates being downloaded.

    I have attached a few screenshots, I can add a little more if needed / given the chance to. Files to trigger an internal error during installation vary. For example 124f989.ipi with-2147287035; 2aa73f. PIP with-2147287035; and a448f2.ipi.

    I've also seen error 1310 with 1becbcb.msi; etsoutenirles NI Logos XT, installation failure; 2 error: cannot perform action License Manager Updating OS Compatibility.

    At risk of key players away from what could be the cause but for purposes of completeness, note that the laptop power saving has been initially set at 15 minutes before sleeping, then perhaps there were a few download / partial of installation problems.

    Any suggestions regarding the best solution please?

    Thanks, Alex

    I don't know if you have one or two problems here.  But the problem with the update service seemed familiar.

    Take a look at this link.  I would try first, and if you are lucky, perhaps that other issues will disappear as well.

    Vista Ultimate - trying to COMPLETE the backup of a computer

    Hi people,

    I had a similar problem with Vista (64-bit edition complete edition) machine. I run automatic backups for more than a year. Suddenly, backups started fail with the following error code:

    "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable 0 x 80070570.

    I thought it would be my external drive - so I tried an another one - same error. After a search of different topics around, I tried various fixes (similar to above), but none of them worked.

    I managed to find the problem though. The issue is not with the drive being written - it's the current backup disc that is the problem. If you want to save your primary drive (C:, for example), try to perform a check of the errors on this drive (right click on your drive home, you are trying to save, choose 'Properties' then go to 'tools' - click 'Check now' under the control of errors - and check both boxes). Since this is the current drive, you must stop and restart - the system then automatically checks the system files and windows files on the next boot.

    After doing this, my problem cleared up. Apparently, the backup software was crashing trying to read a corrupted file or a sector of the hard disk, that he was backing.

  • PC Backup doesn't work no-internal error: Server execution failed - error Code 0 x 80080005

    Hello

    I use Vista Business SP2.

    I'm having a problem with Windows complete PC Backup. When I click on the "create backup now" trying to create a full backup of the computer, spends about 15 seconds and then this message:

    The backup application could not start due to an internal error:
    Server execution failed (0 x 80080005)
    Please check the configuration of your system and try again.

    I click on ok, and the message appears once more.

    I'm trying to save on the same disk external I used for backups. Backup of the files on this drive works fine.

    Here are a few things that may be useful to solve this problem:

    1. I recently uninstalled and tried to reinstall Sophos Anti-virus, but I can't reinstall.
    2. My computer has been restored using the backup of the computer in the past. I have not saved since.
    3. I recently changed the permissions/owner on the external hard drive that I support up to.

    Thanks in advance.

    If you have replaced TrustedIstaller with something else, which could very well be a part of the problem.  It is a user of the system and it can be called by the name of some programs and if she isn't here so the program does not know what to do.  I don't know how to solve this problem - I don't think add that a new administrator account to the user with this name will do (because it will have a different code).  In my view, that a re - install is the only way to solve this particular problem.

    Here is an article on the fixation of 4201 event viewer error: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/110886-event-viewer-error-4201-a.html but I wouldn't bother with this if you have an Installation of Windows Vista genuine disc.  Come back if this disc does not (and I don't think it will be necessary).

    CONGRATULATIONS on finding a disk for Installation of Windows Vista SP2 genuine - I guess that it's 32-bit (like your system).  It is exactly what you need - a commercial version.  The OEM versions do not work because they include device drivers specific to their computers and those who will hose your system unless they have exactly the same system for (and I don't think you can do an upgrade by using the OEM versions - at least not all of them - just a clean install {although I found a HP and it has used to update my XP system crashed then) ({I was waiting the disc of real update that I bought from Dell - not exactly kosher but finally in compliance}).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side (by copy and paste if necessary even if you can't use the full backup feature). If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install.  What version of Vista do you have currently?  I think that the drive will work with any version of Vista (they contain probably all versions on them and that they install is governed by the Code of the product used - but I have never actually tried using a different version of disc - I only heard this said by people who seem to know what they're talking about).  The fact that it is SP2 means that you won't have to uninstall all the Service packs that is even better.  I REALLY hope it works for you.  Make sure you use the UPGRADE option or you're going to do a clean install.  If the upgrade option is grayed out, it means that it will not work (but I don't think that this will be the case).

    If the drive works (and after installing all updates), then there should be nothing to fix on your system - it should work like new.  You should be able to do your backup with no error message.  Have no other problems.  This will fix the problem with TrustedInstaller so.  I feel confident thiis will work.

    I mentioned that Acronis because first of all, it's the best backup software and secondly because there could be a workaround, because it does seem like there was another solution because you do not want to delete this special software (but now that you have the disc - which is debatable – although it is still the best software {even though) ({, as you say, it's not free}).

    As far as Windows7 goes, I refer you to the Windows7 Forum at: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads where the people who specialize in installation, the upgrade, and activation Windows7 will be more than happy to help you in the process.  I have Windows7 (my computer is not compatible and it is too costly to update since it's several components that need to be changed and my other computers are even older, so he has no hope here - I just have to wait until the "I need a new computer" but strikes me to new, but that will probably not for one or two years).  To be honest, I wouldn't intentionallly update at this point even if I could because I always wait a while before installing a new OS (generally up to the publication of its SP1 and in the case of Vista its SP2) to let other people work the new bugs - and there are some despite what you see in the ads.  Spend time on Windows7 forums, if you don't believe me.  Out of the box, she seems to be better than Vista did (which was awful) but there are still issues that need to be addressed - I'll wait instead until it is more stable (and a bit of my software is not compatible and I don't want to have to go out and buy all these updates at the same time (, because it will be too expensive overall).  But if you want to upgrade, which is perfectly fine - thousands of others do (always, especially since Vista has problems after all this time) and I totally understand.  This is just my own personal bias and procedure - I don't recommend to my clients that I recognize it as being just a personal preference rather than one-piece objective advice.  Before installing Windows7, make sure that your system is ready with the Windows7 Upgrade Advisor to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx - you should perhaps update or remove some software and may not even need to upgrade certain hardware - better know before you start (especially if you go x 64 which I assume that your PC is able to treat - mine isn't).

    I hope this helps and wish you all the best in your effort to make the repair/improvement of the system.  I hope it works.  Remember that you must use your own product key to activate the software if necessary.  If it does not automatically have to activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain that you had a problem and you need to reinstall the OS but it's the same PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.
