Program Setup cannot find %APPDATA%\protector.exe

I am running Windows Vista SP2 from 2007. I tried to uninstall Nokia PCSuite and something was wrong - do not know what. Since then, if I try to install or uninstall a program, I get a message error that Setup

"Cannot access the network location %AppData%."

Thanks in advance

  • could not access network location %APPDATA%\protector.exe

    Runing Vista - Cannot install iTunes.  Get error - could not access network location %APPDATA%\protector.exe
    I see APPDATA is in the temp folder - how to fix this?

    I have seen this error a lot with iTunes. Let's start by checking your system files.

    Go to start / programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt and click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow (note the space - it is important) and to enter and leave running.  It will scan some of your system files and fix them if possible (let us know if it finds errors, it cannot repair).  If it runs successfully, try the installation again.

    In addition, you must be logged on as administrator to install the program - some programs require that (but I'm not sure that in this case then log in as administrator just to be sure, this isn't the issue).

    Let us know if it works or if it does not work (and we can try another option).

    Good luck and hope this helps.

    Install XP instead of Vista

    I tried to install XP in my laptop ASUS PRO31jr which currently has Vista Home Premium installed.  I updated the BIOS first and changed the boot on CD/DVD order.  Disk load bunch of drivers, then when it gets to the installation, said he cannot find a previous version of windows installed on the computer and calls for an XP Home edition (full version), or a CD of XP Professional (full version).  The CD I have is XP Professional Academic Edition version 2002.  RHE booklet supplied with the disc seems to indicate that this is the full version, and I successfully used to clean install on XP.  Is the drive of my problem?  I would appreciate a difinative answer if anybody out there knows for sure.  Goodwich.

    If the message "Setup cannot find a previous version of Windows installed on the computer", you have an upgrade version that requires Windows XP Home Edition installation.

    Installing a version commercial (street copy) of Windows XP on a Toshiba Vista laptop.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Step 1: Prepare the BIOS
    -Go to section Support/Drivers on the Toshiba site and look for your model of Toshiba
    -If your phone has a separate version of BIOS for XP and Vista, download the BIOS XP and run it in Windows.
    -If you cannot start Windows, you can update the BIOS after installing XP.

    Step 2: Enable SATA Compatibility Mode in the BIOS
    -If installing XP cannot detect SATA drive, enable SATA Compatibility Mode in BIOS if this option is available and install XP.

    Step 3: Install XP using a floppy with the SATA drivers
    -If SATA compatibility mode is not available, you must use the SATA drivers diskette during installation of XP. Follow these steps:

    (1) Download driver Windows XP SATA F6 on the site of Toshiba Support/downloads.
    If a single SATA/AHCI F6 driver is unavailable, download and extract the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver for XP in a temporary folder.
    The Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver package must contain some files under the folder "F6flpy". For example: C:\temp\Intel Matrix Storage Manager\F6flpy\ICH8M_32bit
    Choose the right folder. For example: ICH8M_32bit for a Chipset of Intel ICH8 during installation of Windows XP 32-bit.

    (2) copy these files (iastor.inf, etc.) on a blank diskette. The files must reside in the root directory of the floppy disk.
    For example: A:\iastor.inf, A:\iaahci.inf, etc...

    (3) connect a Toshiba USB floppy drive to the Toshiba laptop. (some non - Toshiba USB Floppy Drives may not work correctly during the installation of XP)

    (4) (4) demarrer start from the Windows XP CD, start the installation and make sure that your floppy with the drivers is inserted into the floppy USB drive.

    (5) for the XP installation invites you to press F6 to install a storage driver, immediately press F6.

    (6) for installing XP you invites to select a SATA driver, select the appropriate driver and continue.
    For example: ICH7M Intel(r) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller, Intel(r) ICH8M 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller

    (7) keep the attached floppy drive and floppy disk inserted XP has not completed its installation.
    Do not partition or format the hard drive during the installation of XP. The diskette SATA drivers are copied and stored on the hard drive during the installation of XP.
