T500 Vista: Roxio Creator) 1 not installed, missing since 2) C:\SWTOOLS\APPS and recovery) 3?

Do a clean install of Vista 64 on a separate hard drive to upgrade my T500 Vista 32 following Lenovo's own installation instructions here. Having correctly installed and updated all the drivers and now starting to install applications from the C:\SWTOOLS\APPS directory.

I discovered that, although the Roxio Creator and MyDVD are installed on my Vista 32 preload factory, the Roxio Creator CBED subdirectory is missing in C:\SWTOOLS\APPS (all applications are there including WinDVD).  I checked on my backups as soon as possible once I unpacked the T500 in December and am fairly certain that it was never a subdirectory of DEC there. There are also a couple of previous forum discussions indicating that I am not the only one with a missing directory DEC.

So I used my Vista 32 recovery disks to create (once again on a separate disk) Vista 32 factory settings system restore. On this system, I find that Roxio Creator is not installed, but for example WinDVD is installed. In addition to the system generated by the recovery disks all the C:\SWTOOLS\APPS directory is missing!

Then, I checked my T42 I reset to factory settings with its recovery discs and all of the C:\IBMTOOLS\APPS directory as it was then called present.

So what happens here, a Lenovo has changed its policy regarding the directory C:\SWTOOLS\APPS or is it a bug that it is absent from the factory settings system restore?

Can anyone confirm that if I the Badger Lenovo support by sending me to the new recovery disc for my system Vista T500 32 they would understand the C:\SWTOOLS\APPS directory?

If this isn't the case, any other ideas how I could get Roxio Creator installed on my Vista 64 system?

Thank you erik.

Before you call Lenovo support Monday, I decided to do a more thorough search of the disk with Vista 32 system restored to the factory since the recovery discs settings, that I got burned.

And I found a directory apps much smaller that my factory preload C:\SWTOOLS\APPS. It is C:\Program Files\MLPS\APPS. But the success - it did not contain the directory of DEC. Since the Readme in this directory:

Easy Media Creator of Lenovo is in two parts:

Easy Media Creator
Drag2Disc

MyDVD is installed as part of Easy Media Creator.

In a State of preloading, both parties are installed using
This file can be used in silent mode to silentsetup.cmd.
Re-install both or one of the applications.

To capture applications for individual use
a network environment, all you need is the files
Since the following directories.

EPC - Easy Media Creator
Drag2Disc\x64 - Drag2Disc for Vista64 or XP64
Drag2Disc\x32 - Drag2Disc for XP or Vista32

  • Virtual Box: Windows Vista SPK 2 do not install Visual Studio 2010 SPK1

    Using Virtual Box in my Mac OS X Lion Mountain.

    I have pretty much Windows Vista to date for SPK2 in Virtual Box.

    Try to install Visual Studio 2010 SDK, but I get an error (I forgot what it was because I am at school right now typing this) saying that a component is first necessary or something Visual Studio 2010 is first needed.

    But as I understand it, it's that should not install Visual Studio 2010 perfectly in Windows Vista SPK2?

    All the system requirements are met. What else do I need first before installing VS 2010?

  • Windows Vista Ultimate: SP1 CD can not install for me to Dual-Boot 7 and Vista

    Hi I'm new here.

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate on my computer. I have 3 drives, F: reserved system, C: (where Windows 7 is on) and blank D: 20 GB Partition.

    I am trying to install Windows Vista, so I can dual-boot, but I get an error code saying that there is not enough disk space on my F: reserved system, but I try not to install it since their, I try to install from the D: drive.

    So I tried another way, I Booted from the CD, and Setup continues. But, when I clicked on my D: drive it says it cannot copy files when going from 3%.

    Question:

    1. I did a wiped fresh clean installed Windows 7 Ultimate, and it created a partition of 100 MB. What's causing Windows Vista to install correctly?

    2. If Question 1 was the problem, do you think I should wipe my entire C: drive and erase the entire disk for Windows Vista to fix itself?

    Hello

    Your laptop belongs to the Toshiba series us and that's why I put t exactly know how it works on this laptop, but on the European of Toshiba laptop, you might find the Toshiba disc creator software that allows you to create a Toshiba Recovery disk.

    I put t understand why ASP you called t couldn't sell you a recovery disk. I think that you asked someone who didn t know that.

    Usually the ASP should be able to provide such discs. So either you can call Toshiba USA or ASP and ask again this recovery disk.

  • Vista Ultimate 64 will not install on Tyan S2915E, but Ultimate 32 is fine

    Vista Ultimate 32 will install, but not Ultimate 64. The installation is done, but at the first reboot, the OS will crash with blue screen of death (STOP: 0x0000007E (0xFF...) 5, ...).

    Since Ultiate 32 works very well, I think that there is a problem with 64-bit drivers. In my view, there is a version updated to Vista Ultimate 64 with SP1. Do you know if this version solves the problem, and if so, can you send me a copy if I send my product key?

    The only other suggestions in the Windows documentation if there is no update of the BIOS are:

    • Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.

    You can also disable caching memory BIOS to try to resolve the error. You must also run the diagnostics of material, especially the scanner memory, which provides the manufacturer of the system. For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.
