Uninstall fails after installing the Hyper-V role

I installed VMWare Workstation 7.1.3 on my Windows Server 2008 R2 server to temporarily host some virtual machines. Since then, I installed the Hyper-V role on this server and migrated the Hyper-v hosts. Now I want to uninstall VMWare Workstation, but when I try to do it via the Control Panel programs and features, I receive the inherited error message: "[uninstall] error: this product cannot be installed on Windows XP or later." Windows 95, 98, ME, NT and 2000 are not supported. [OK] "obviously, this message is in error, but in doing some research, I have determined that this error means that the installer refuses to start on systems that have Hyper-V installed.

Is there a version of the installer that allows you to uninstall VMWare Workstation correctly? If not, are there plans to fix this hole? I have to any other option that follow described here manual uninstall procedure? I don't trust the manual uninstall procedure because they understand too gourmet suggestions such as 'Remove your appdata directory' (see uninstallation manual step 5B). Uninstall Hyper-V at this point is not a viable option.

It should be relatively simple to add an option to the installer to bypass verification of Hyper-V (and then use the uninstall option command in the seat).

only chance: Add a bootoption on the server so that it can start with disabled HyperV

  1. At the command prompt, type the following:
    bcdedit /copy {default} /d "No hypervisor".
  2. The above command should say: the entry has been copied successfully to {guid}. Copy the guid to the Clipboard, including the braces.
  3. Now, type the following command:
    bcdedit/set {guid_hvoff} off hypervisorlaunchtype
    In the above command, replace {guid_hvoff} with what you copied in step 2. The command above simply sets a property in the boot entry that will not load the hypervisor at startup.

then restart option not HyperV and uninstall

  • I can't create an installer, after install the Vision Builder demo and then uninstall it. I can't create a Labview Installer more, he asks me an installer of generator of Vision, even if Labview my program does not have nothing to do with it...

    I can't create an installer on LabView, after install the Vision Builder demo and then uninstall it. I can't create a Labview Installer more, he asks me an installer of generator of Vision, even if Labview my program does not have nothing to do with it...

    Hi, Shada, this can happen if you include additional installers to your installer for example DAQmx. When you do this the installation program must include other files like MAX (Measuremente and Automation Explorer). Probably when you installed Vision Builder he updated MAX, so when your Installer try to understand MAX, his request the source where it was installed in your computer in this case Vision Builder.

    Here you can cache information so it is not asked once again, or you can download a version more recent fo DAQmx, then it will update MAX and change the dependecy.

  • After installing the latest updates, my screen on large icons, screen too big for my moniter

    the only way of difficulty was to uninstall updates.

    After installing the latest updates, my screen on large icons, screen too large for my moniter the only way of difficulty was to uninstall updates.

    Sounds like something in the update causes a conflict with your video driver or change the resolution settings.
     
    The first thing to do to solve the problem is to try to install each of the updates one at a time instead of let Windows Update do several updates together.  If you're lucky, the problem can not ride again.  If so, you'll know at least update is the cause of the problem.

    If the problem persists, try right click on an empty area of your desktop and select properties to open the display properties dialog box.  Select the settings tab.  Look to see if the screen is correctly identified and if the resolution seems correct.  If you spot something wrong, change to the correct setting.  If everything looks correct, you can try to change the resolution to see if that can solve the problem.

    You can also check the website of the manufacturer of your graphics card to see if they have an updated display driver.  Updates of the operating system only sometimes work correctly if you have the latest version of the drivers for the various components.

    If all else fails, you can uninstall the update one that is causing the problem and mark do not show you this update again in Windows updates.   Doing so will be considered a last resort - especially if the update in question is one of the security updates.

    * Original title: Question access to the internet after you have installed the latest update

    Last week, I installed the latest update of Windows 8, however once installed, I was no longer able to access the internet and became a message saying that the page cannot be displayed. Below it there is a button to click to solve the problem of connection but I did and it came back with no connection problem.

    I reset my router, but there was no question that I could access the internet on my phone and my roommates laptop. The only way that I could access the internet again was to restore my pc and remove install.

    I was then forced to install the update tonight and it's the same thing so I had to uninstall these updates again to access the internet.

    Hyper-V cannot be installed.

    the processor on this computer is not compatible with Hyper-v. to install the role of HRT, the processor must have a version support for hardware-assisted virtualization, and this feature must be enabled in the BIOS.

  • 500 error after installing the CF on Windows Server 2008 IIS7 9.0.2

    After installing the CF 9.0.2 on Windows Server 2008 with IIS7, I get an error 500 return of all my websites.  I made sure to change the permissions in the C:\ColdFusion9 folder to full control for psaadm, psacln.  I'm sure that CGI, ISAPI extensions and ISAPI filters are installed.  I rebooted.  I can access the administration of CF on the server, but all of my websites are generating 500 errors on remote browsers.  The uninstall does not solve the problem.  Help, please.  What can I do?

    Problem solved!  It was related to incompatibilities of 32-bit/64-bit with Plesk.  There are two steps to solve this problem:

    1 snap the Internet Information services manager, access the properties of the advanced application pool and enable 32-Bit Applications 'false' for plesk (default) (2.0) (pool) value.

    2. in Plesk, disable the Web statistics (accessible via password protected directory ' / plesk-stat/webstat /')

    Note that you will not be able to use the functionality of Plesk protected directory until Plesk solves this problem.

  • PC Pavilion laptop: no sound on Pavilion g6 after installing the new battery CMOS

    I have a Pavilion g6z - 1 d 00 CTO Notebook PC, model A2F43AV number.  It came with Windows 7 Home Premium, and I upgraded the operating system to Windows 7 Pro (64 bit).

    The problem is that I did not sound, either through headphones or the speakers even if the Volume is set at 55. I first noticed the audio problem after replacing the CMOS battery, as the laptop is 4 years old and he gave me intermittent wireless connectivity problems.  After installing the new battery CMOS, I noticed the wireless driver was missing and downloaded/installed.  Everything was fine except the audio.  Then I reset the BIOS but nothing there as the BIOS version is v.49, and it is the most recent.

    I have also downloaded/installed the driver audio and rebooted the PC.  Still, there is no noise.

    Finally, I have checked the audio drivers and the reporting system they work without any problem.

    What should I do next?

    Thanks, Terry

    Thanks for the reply,

    I was under the impression that these links would take you to guide step by step, however, it seems that they do not work,

    However, I have provided details below:

    To perform a hard reset on a computer equipped with a removable battery, follow these steps:

    1. Turn off the computer.

    2. Remove the computer from the docking station or port replicator.

    3. Disconnect all external devices from devices such as USB, external displays storage devices and printers.

    4. Disconnect the power adapter from the computer.

    5. Remove the battery from the compartment to batteries.

    6. Press and hold button power for about 15 seconds, remove any residual electric charge capacitors that protect memory.

    7. Insert the battery and plug the power adapter into the laptop, but do not connect peripheral devices.

    8. Press the power button to turn on the computer.

    9. If a boot menu appears, use the arrow keys to select start Windows normally and then press the Enter key.

    10. After you have reconnected each peripheral device, run Windows Update and HP Support Assistant to update all device drivers.

    To perform a hard reset on a computer equipped with a sealed or non-removable battery, follow these steps:

    1. Turn off the computer.

    2. Remove the computer from the docking station or port replicator.

  • Drawing objects in Firefox and Thunderbird after installing the graphics card MSI R6850 of AMD

    After installing the new graphics card (MSI R6850 CYCLONE 1GD5 PE/OC), pilots the latest on Windows XP 32-bit, I frequently meet with Mozilla Firefox 8.0 and Mozilla Thunderbird 8.0 drawing artifacts. The problem presents itself as a horizontal black bands or model checker color scattered. It occurs especially when the child (like the Download Manager) passage of another application for Firefox or Thunderbird or when to switch to a window for Firefox. It affects the entire application or only some rectangular (region clearly who was redesigned due to change of application). Then repaint (such as switch between Firefox tabs) usually solves the problem. This is just visual, the behavior is not affected. The problem never happened to any other application so far. Any ideas? Any who have experienced the same problem? Thanks in advance.

    If disable hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver that corrects these problems.
