• Failed to install (restore) on Windows 2008

  I try to install RoboHelp 7 on a new system Windows Server 2008 64 - bit (very similar to Vista) who has never had any Adobe product is installed. Still, the installation fails and cancels all changes to the system. The files are created in the default installation directory (C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 7), then they are automatically deleted when the installation program fails. I tried to install several times, rebooted the machine, disabled UAC, run the installer as administrator and tried other ideas I've seen on these forums, but nothing works. I have exactly the same problem with Adobe Captivate 3, but not with other non-Adobe programs I've tried. The exact message in the InstallShield Wizard is, "the wizard was interrupted before Adobe RoboHelp 7 could be completely installed." Your system has not changed. To complete installation at another time, please run Setup again. »
  
  
  
  

  Thanks for the replies. I managed to solve the installation problem actually two things:

  I went to where RoboHelp was unpack the installation files (7\RoboHelp C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Adobe RoboHelp) and set all the EXEs to run in Windows XP compatibility mode.

  I opened a command prompt in this directory and run the installer of RoboHelp directly without user intervention: "msiexec /i"Adobe RoboHelp 7.msi"/ passive." This installed RoboHelp using the default options.

  It is apparently a problem with InstallShield on Vista which was experienced by many software manufacturers. I found the solution from Symantec for this page: http://tinyurl.com/3g2bl4

  As for your suggestion concerning the audit of the controller and then using vSphere converter, do you want to say I point the converter on the VMDK 'broken' and choose a Machine configuration option?

  What you can do with VMware Converter, is to run the Machine "set up" against the power off VM (simply select the virtual computer after connecting to the host or vCenter). I mentioned to check the controller before doing this, because this controller is the default configuration for the operating system you use.

I've been back up the System State and the drive C with NTBackup. After I restored on HP Proliant, that I want to migrate, the DNS server is timeout request and the client cannot join domain. I was surprised, because the backup and the material is the same, but it can work as well as the original server.
  in the second case,
  I have windows server 2003 in HP Proliant server and it works well. I'm doing a replication on this server to another windows 2003 server in an another HP Proliant and works of good replication (another user can join the domain). After, I have installed windows server 2008 to another PC and make the replication of the duplication of windows 2003. And this success to replicate, but not on the DNS (DNS query time-out).

• Problem starting Windows 2008 R2

  I've restored a backup BackupExec (State of data and system) to a server running Windows 2008 R2 to new hardware. New material contains PERC H710P RAID controller and Windows installation media does not contain a driver for it. So my freshly installed with driver PERC system clears my restore of the System State and the system refuses to boot.

  I was not able to find a way to inject PERC drivers in the Windows 2008 R2 (which is the same as that of Windows 7-64) boot environment. I tried to build a Windows ISO updated the with drivers PERC, hoping his recovery option would be smart enough to add the new driver to boot environment. Not only it doesn't seem to be able to change the boot sequence, there is no still load the PERC driver and I've always had to be loaded from a flash drive.

  Anyone have any ideas on how to add the driver support when starting a system that is already installed?

  Thank you

  HammerCR

  This problem has been resolved yesterday. Here is an overview of the steps:

  1. Download the latest driver off site support.dell.com and extract the files on a USB key.
  2. Insert the USB key into the server.
  3. Start on the support of the Windows operating system and use "Shift + F10" to launch a command line window.
     1. It might be a good idea to use two windows to start diskpart in to get the Volume letters
     2. Diskpart.exe and then run 'list volume' to view the volumes
  4. Run the following command:
     DISM / image: C: \ / Add-Driver /driver:D:\percsas3.inf
     Note: C:\ is assumed to be the Windows system drive Partition D:\ is the USB.
  5. Once the driver has been loaded, leave the Windows installation program and restart the system. The system can boot into recovery utility, but choose to boot in Windows 2008 R2. System will reboot and you will be presented with a login screen.

  I hope this will be useful to someone.

• Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor didn't finish and restore to Windows Vista

  I try to install Windows 7 and started using Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to examine the State of Vista.

  A number of questions appeared so I did the updates or of facilities such as specified. I then re-ran and it shows now no problems.

  The only things without green ticks are the wireless printer which he cannot evaluate but does report does not as a problem.

  The upgrade of Windows runs almost until the end and then fails and rolls back to Vista. When you are finished, he said to use Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor!

  Where should I go now?

  Notes:

  • Collect all the important application discs and discs of hardware driver, you might need to be reinstalled.
  • Consult the manufacturer and the site of developers of software for available updates and inquire about the status of compatibility with Windows 7. It is possible that if the software is compatible with Windows Vista it probably will work with Windows 7, because they share the same driver model.
  • If you use software like iTunes or Adobe programs, don't forget to remove and disable them before you run the installation program.

  Back up your data:

  When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. Windows Vista, depending on the edition you are running includes a form of backup. If you run editions such as Windows Vista Business, Enterprise or Ultimate Edition, you can use the built in backup of the computer of your Vista installation. This can be handy if your installation of Windows 7. For instructions on how to use the backup of the computer, see article following here. Of course, you'll need an external hard drive for this task.

  If you are running editions such as Windows Vista Starter, Home Basic or Home Premium, the only option available to backup the standard backup and restore that archive the records of your account with some settings. If you need a similar to the complete PC backup option, you will need a third party too.

  See the following article from Microsoft MVP JW Stuart on how to make a backup of a Windows here installation using Acronis True Image here

  Other steps that you can use to check your data is secure before the upgrade creates a backup of Windows Easy Transfer. Learn more here , this option is very limited and should be used only if do not plan to return to Windows Vista because the easy transfer of backups can be restored in Windows 7 or Windows 7.

  What you can do before performing the upgrade?

  You can perform certain tasks of pre-required to ensure a migration smoothly between Windows Vista and Windows 8. If you use a computer such as a Dell or HP brand name, go to the website of manufacturers for the model computer you are using and download the latest drivers available for this computer. Store them on a disk or a USB key. You should try to get important factors include network and video drivers. Its possible that they might have only Windows Vista, those that will work with Windows 7.

  Other things you can do:

  1. Uninstall all security software before attempting to upgrade.
  2. Disable any encryption software, that you may have installed such as file encryption, BitLocker Drive encryption.
  3. Disable/uninstall software utility to drive such as CD/DVD burning utility or third-party programs such as perfect disk defragment.

If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

• Install several Oracle 11 G R2 Oracle homes on Windows 2008 R2 x 64?

  I have a Windows 2008 R2 running an Oracle DEV 11.2.0.3 x 64 database. I would like to install a copy of a 11.2.0.3 PROD based on this same server to use as a backup. If the Production Server fails, I can switch to that server. I have not installed several houses Oracle/forums/databases before and a bit confusing. Can the two databases are running under the same Oracle Home or I can (..) If it is allowed...) install 11 G R2 another House on a separate disk and run the 2nd data base from there?

  You can have two databases running out of the House even if so, you want to or run different oracle homes.  Normally you would have separate/houses/databases, if you are likely to have separate patching strategies.

  Specifically, you say that want to restore a copy of prod on the DEV server to be used as a "backup".  How you will keep this up-to-date copy?  Have you considered dataguard?

• VCenter OS of Windows 2008 R2 update to Windows R2 2012

  I'm looking at upgrading my server vCenter for R2 2012 Windows, I do this as an upgrade output up, so I the Windows 2008 R2 machine fails on if I have problems, I will use the same IP and host name. Something that crossed my mind is the fact that we are not on the latest version of vCenter, I think that we are currently on 5.5.0 and the latest version is now 5.5.0u1c.

  Our database is sitting on another server, so when I was about to reinstall vCenter pointing to the database without overwriting, migration one thing I'm not sure of could also upgrade vCenter while making this gesture, so in theory circulates the latest installation of 5.5.0u1c as opposed to 5.5.0 on the new 2012 R2 Windows Server?

  It is up to you. What you want to install. You can directly install a newer version of the software on the new host to vCenter vCenter. It will install binary vCenter costs and upgrade the database.

  Both options will work. Make sure before you install the backup DB server vCenter take as it is recommended. If something goes wrong, you can restore and try again.

• Windows 2008 R2 server, Customization Wizard & activation keys

  We are using ESX 4 u1 and deploying a lot of windows 2008 R2 VM

  I created a model and a Customization Wizard customization file and everything seems to work except the license key. When the VM boots, I find the server are not enabled and the license key box is disabled - I provide the same license key that I put in the Customization Wizard and enroll the server manually without problem.

  Is this correct?  -J' saw a few items that indicate the changes MS made to the activation of the ways windows 2008, you must manually enable each virtual machine that you create from a template.

  Is it possible to automate this process for the virtual machine is activated as part of the initial configuration of a model.

  I'm currently going through the same thing... The only thing I met, was that:

  http://briandesmond.com/blog/how-to-Sysprep-in-Windows-Server-2008-R2-and-Windows-7/

  «If you expect to need to generalize the computer more than one»

  many times, you can specify that the Windows Software Licensing Rearm

  program to be ignored:

  1. set the Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP\SkipRearm unattended installation

  set value to 1. This option specifies that the computer will not

  reset, and it will not be restored to its original, out-of-box state.

  All licensing and registry data related to activation will remain and will be

  do not be reset. Similarly, any period of grace-timers are not reset. »

  Now, this talking abot deploying from a platform WAIK... one of the people said that it did in its VMware implemented and "it worked great"... but I don't really know if he spoke the WAIK lab vm system or the model of VMWare itself.  I now try the SkipRearm setting 1 and the conversion to the template... then test will deploy from there.  I activated the virtual machine is already using my MSDN key (this will be in my lab).  I hope that during Sysprep running, it leaves the active system.

  The key in question is: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform and HKLM\Software\Wow6432NodeMicrosoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform.

  I changed the two entries of SkipRearm DWord to 1... We'll see what happens.
