Problem running Upgrade Advisor on win2k machines

• Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor does not install

  Hi I posted this on the Vista forum. I got 1 response suggesting I have try to download it again, as I did with the same result. The 2nd answer said not to post this question on the forum of Vista. If she is here now on this forum.

  I downloaded the UpgradeAdvisor a Windows 7 at the same time a running Windows Vista my PC Edition Home Premium and the other Windows XP. It will not install on each PC. I double click on the downloaded file and am asked in Vista to continue, I click "Yes" and then nothing happens. There is no sign of any program running or running any process that did not work until I tried to install the Advisor. Please can someone help. (I tried to disable the system security McAfee but that did not help).

  Well thank you for the suggestion of Steve of Microsoft Developer Network. I tried to download another copy to another location. Unfortunately exactly the same result. Yesterday I download about 5 times in different places, none worked, but I thought I'd try again today - same result. Am I the only person having this problem?

  I followed the advice on another thread closely linked to it. Someone (non-Microsoft) advised using a program called "Winrar" to unzip the file to the millisecond. You can download free Winrar (shareware). I tried and it works very well. It unpacks the MS then called "self-extracting" file downloaded from MS site above and shows you the content. I selected the provedure of installation for the Upgrade Advisor for 32 bits, and low and you installed the Upgrade Advisor on my machine.

  I ran with success of the counselor and am at a complete loss to understand why Microsoft technicians could not have told me in this simple direction rather than give me useless and very lengthy procedures which did not work.

  The adviser tells me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or WIndows 7 MegaSuperCostULoads (or whatever its name). I'm not sure I want now, or if I trust Microsoft more. Maybe I'll switch to Ubuntu.

• I intend to move from Vista to 7, but when I try to use Microsoft Upgrade Advisor, I am stopped by this same window - 0I "cannot display the page XML - the server did not understand the request" use the program by following the instructions

  No recent changes have been made to my computer. I hesitate to upgrade to 7 until this problem is sorted

  There could be a problem with Vista.
  Run the Advisor to upgrade in clean boot and check:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  If this does not help, then run the vista repair and then run Upgrade Advisor and check:

• which is wrong with Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor?

  I want to run Upgrade Advisor to check if I'm having problems with Windows 7 on my PC.
  I guess I found my first problem...
  When I run Upgrade Advisor, I get the following message:

  Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor could not reach the server from Microsoft for more compatibility information. You check the Internet or see if there is a new version of Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  I am running Windows XP pro SP3, the firewall is disabled, windows Upgrade Advisor is the latest version just downloaded, internet works fine.

  Hello world

  When Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor could not connect to the Microsoft server, it is usually a problem with the proxy.  Try a toggle or to pass to another via Internet Explorer (Tools-> Internet Options-> connections).  Upgrade Advisor does not support proxies that requires authentication, i.e. you must type your user name and password.

  Upgrade Advisor saves some out of diagnosis in % temp%\wuadiagnostics.log.  Feel free to take a look at this file to see how the Upgrade Advisor exception is meet or send this file to * address email is removed from the privacy *, and we'll take a look at Microsoft.

• HP Pavilion & "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor came across a problem.

  Windows 7 would work on my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6132eu)?

  So I used "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" of the Microsofts. Which caused the error "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor stumbled into a problem that your scanning devices. Upgrade Advisor needs to be able to scan your devices to determine whether your computer is capable of running Windows 7 ".

  The laptop is probably not good enough for Windows 7, why?

  I assumed, the Upgrade Advisor would tell me, what pieces of hardware is / are not specific to Windows 7.

  In a forum Technet, say, the Adviser is blocked by some HP hardware. Which?

  Best regards, Willem

  My problem has been resolved.

  Previously, the problem with "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor BETA.

  I waited two months - now, I executed the Adviser again, resulting in "an important upgrade".

  And guess: update Advisor works like a rocket, finishing with a nice report with minor problems.

  So I think that the problem was a "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" - problem - not a HP computer laptop-problem.

  I'm running a core i7 940, Windows XP SP3. The Advisor works fine on my laptop (Windows XP SP3).

  The other questions here on this topic seem to go unanswered... then maybe it's not an answer.

  Can anyone provide any assistance would be appreciated!

  Thank you!

• Uninstall Upgrade Advisor under XP Pro SP3

  I have somehow watered the original Upgrade Advisor on my XP SP3 machine.  Using Add/Remove programs cannot remove the program.  The program runs as grateful there is an update, but when I try to install the update it stops because it can not remove the old version.  The recorded message is:

  Error 1714. Cannot remove the old version of Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.  Contact your technical support group.  System Error 1612.

  I do not have a restore point that I can use.  How can I manually get rid of the old copy?

  I posted this question in the section installation, upgrade, and activate, but when the answering machine of the first suggestions did not help and I asked for the instruction manual for uninstall, no answer has been given.  It was a few weeks ago now.  Help, please!

  "I somehow watered the original Upgrade Advisor on my XP SP3 machine".

  READ: "Microsoft has sprinkled me on the upgrade of the Adviser."  "Please save me from their stupidity.
  I finally gave up trying to find the previous version and to draw on the festering piece of OOP out of the database to install Windows Installer Cleanup.
  Once removed, I installed the new version without any problems and it /seemed/ to work properly.
  Your mileage may vary.

• Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor will work (unexpected error)

  My Vista Machine won't work for Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. It is said he "encountered an unexpected error" (not too informative, huh?) and advise the relocation, which does not.  Or no tweaking startup with msconfig and disable my antivirus/firewall. The program is in the "zone of confidence" anyway. How can I get a handle on this problem?

  Here are a few advanced WMI troubleshooting you can try.

  1. on Windows XP Pro and Vista, run the two separate commands to
  recreate the Windows Management Instrumentation database files.

  NOTE: Under vista, there must be run from an administrator command prompt commands

  1. click on start and type CMD
  2. search for 'command prompt' at the top of the window and right click / Select 'run as administrator '.

  type controls 2 successively, hitting enter after each one.

  WMIC \\root path "__espacenoms '" delete

  mofcomp %windir%\system32\wbem\wmi.mof

  2. If the problem persists after trying the above steps, save the
  WMI DLL files with the steps below.

  1. click on start and type CMD
  2. search for 'command prompt' at the top of the window and right click / Select 'run as administrator '.
  b. type the following commands one by one, and then press ENTER at the end of each
  command:

  CD /d %windir%\system32\wbem
  for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 %I s
  for %i in (*.exe) do %i/regserver
  for /f %s in (' dir /b * .mof "" ') do mofcomp %s
  for /f %s in (' dir /b * .mfl ' ') do mofcomp %s

  Note: The WMI Tester window may appear, it is
  normal and we can move forward to close.

  Let me know if this helps, please also indicate any error you see in the above process.

• Upgrade Advisor Windows vista - Tecra M5

  I ran Windows vista upgrade advisor on my Tecra M5 and they suggested me to upgrade the following: -.

  (1) HD Audio Driver.
  Install a specialized audio driver.
  Your system is configured for high definition audio, which does not work with Windows Vista. You may lose the audio ability if you install Windows Vista. Contact your computer manufacturer to see if an upgrade is available.

  (2) Bluetooth ACPI from TOSHIBA.
  Go to the website of the device manufacturer to obtain an updated driver.

  (3) NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110 M NVIDIA.
  After upgrade, go to the Windows Update site to download the latest driver for this device.

  (4) fingerprints UPEK TouchChip coprocessor.
  After upgrade, go to the Windows Update site to download the latest driver for this device.

  (5) a long list of programs which is given below: -.
  TOSHIBA ConfigFree.
  TOSHIBA Mobile Extension3 for Windows XP V3.78.00.XP.
  Protector Suite 5.4.
  Wireless keyboard shortcut.
  Alps Pointing-device Driver.

  Sonic RecordNow.
  TOSHIBA Power Saver.
  TOSHIBA utilities.
  Battery Bluetooth for Windows by Toshiba.

  After seeing so long list looks like that I can't install and run windows vista properly and without problems. What should I do to upgrade all the things above? I would not find the exact place to upgrade these things.

  Any other suggestions?

  Hello

  I see a long list of drivers that need to be updated: O
  But I m not surprised because all the drivers of Toshiba pilots and as far as I know these drivers are designed for only the WinXP. Request as a result of update.

  But as you may know Vista is not official on the market and that's why you won't find any Toshiba Vista drivers on the Web site.
  I think that Toshiba will offer drivers if Vista will be official on the market.

  We will have to wait

  I ran this for 2 1/2 hours, he never finished, basically hung up yesterday, so I cancelled it. Launch Windows XP Pro.
  Then when I went to turn off the computer, which has hung up and I had to give up the power to turn the computer off.
   

  Hi Ruckman, I am the program manager for Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  Stock, 2 1/2 hours is no design! It is also quite rare. Please, if you can send your file %TEMP%\WuaDiagnostics.log * address email is removed from the privacy *, we might be able to determine what the problem was.

  We certainly don't want your analysis to take that long and want to solve this problem for the future and for others!
