Windows Installer on an Android computer
Hello
This could be a bad forum in this case, but I know there is a lot of knowledge on these sides.
I have an Android tablet, but I would like to install Windows. It seems that Android does not recognize the DVD drive sees only the SD card. I have an additional Windows license and I would use on this computer.
Tablets of basis is not possible, Android do not have the right processor and firmware to run Windows.

Hi all
I'm at my wit's end trying to install windows 8. Let me start at the beginning: I used to have windows running on my Mac Pro ssd internal 8.1, installed via bootcamp. It worked well for a while, and then refused to start, gives me a blue screen KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. Despite some advice from lonely T, I was unable to fix and ended up wiping the partition and relocation, again via bootcamp. Yet once again, it worked for a few months, then the same problem. I made this one last time, and it only lasted 2 days... So I gave bootcamp.
I think that the hybrid MBR partition scheme that implements bootcamp is the culprit, but I don't really have evidence to substantiate this claim. In any case, I tried to install windows in EFI mode. (If I understand correctly, the hybrid MBR is set up to allow windows to install in legacy BIOS mode, but that windows 8 may now install efi, which supports my Mac Pro mode.) My Mac is the new Mac Pro (end of 2013, trash in shape), and I can say short UEFI 2.0 (I have the latest efi update from apple installed).
The method I'm trying:
1. create a new partition in HFS + on my external drive using disk utility. The drive has now it's efi partition and partition empty 750Go I want to install windows a 1.25 TB storage partition that I use with my mac. It has a GPT. I formatted HFS + and no FAT, because I think that disk utility creates the same hybrid-MBR as training camp every time a FAT partition is created.
2. use gdisk to confirm that the disc does not have a hybrid-MBR. (sudo/dev/disk1 gdisk watch MBR: protection)
3 restart my mac and hold the possibility to put in place to bring up the boot efi menu.
4. Select the EFI_Boot DVD icon (that's the windows 8 install dvd that I have in my superdrive USB drive)
5. go in the menus of the disk selection screen installation and delete the partition in HFS +, I created to install windows on (the format option is not available)
6. now select "Unallocated space" on the good drive and click Next.
The problem:
Partitioning seems to go ok (there is no feedback on this basis, but it proceeds to the next screen, and all new partitions expected are there if I check diskutil list later). He said it is "copy of windows files", but then stops with the error "Windows has no prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." To install Windows, restart the installation. "If I restart, I can start the same process all over again and get the same result.
The Question:
How I get this error and get windows install?
Extra pieces:
- The first time it happened I assumed it was the new sip / thing "without roots" in El Capitan, causing problems, then I disabled, but I still get the same error.
- After reviewing the diskutil list output after one of installs it without success, I found that a labeled EFI partition has been created after my storage partition (the original efi partition was still there in the upper part of the disc).
- I have windows 8.1 installed now bootcamp on my internal ssd. It was planned to use it and winToUSB to put windows on my crush, but I found that it only works with usb2. I do not have installed could cause problems with the installation on another disk.
- Before say you I can't run windows on an external, yes you can, and many people have. I read windows sees thunderbolt internal disks.
- I read a few other posts on this and other sites on this problem, but could not find a pertitnant solution to my situation. I found one that suggested to remove the efi on my disk partition, but that seemed like a bad idea, so I didn't try.
- I write this at 1 in the morning after a day spent in front of the computer trying to get this working, so please excuse typos typing or other. I am pleased to provide you with any pertinant information helping you will help me.
- Thank you!
The other thing I tried also almost succeeded:
Although I prefer to get the method above works, because it seems the most promising, is something else, I've tried that I thought worth mentioning. If you offer advice pertaining to this method rather than the above, I would appreciate it if you could explicitly declare that at the top of your answer. Thank you.
I tried to install windows on the physical disk using vmware and virtual box. The instrutctions I followed for this can be found here: http://www.andrewsavory.com/blog/2011/2156 (the only thing different, it's because it's on an external drive, I created the Fat 32 partition manually using disk utility). The first time (using vmware) installation seems to go off without a hitch, but I couldn't get my computer to see the windows partition as bootable with the boot efi menu hold-option regular refined or with system preferences-> startup disk. I think that I was using always inadvertently a hybrid-MBR at this stage. I tried to repeat this new beginning with the first two steps above to avoid the hybrid-MBR. But now when I try to create the virtual machine based on the gross vmdk, it starts to copy the files then says not sufficient permissions and fails. I don't know if it's a permission with the disk or the hard problem. I tried chmod 777 and chown $USER of the vmdk disk (/ dev/disk1s3) does not.
Wow, that was a long post...
1. when a second drive is detected by the Windows Setup program, he wants to create his own brand of EFI (104 MB) and not to mess with the Mac EFI (200 MB). You can force it to use the EFI to the Mac using Diskpart commands.
2 instead of HFS/FAT32, create a piece of 750 GB free space and it should only get a new MSR/MSD, without the part of EFI.
3. on your VM method, the link you have is quite old. You have a MP 2013, with references to the 2010 Mac alumni and is a bit too archaic to be useful. http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/install-a-Windows-7-partition-on-Mac-OSX-Wit hout-optical-car-or - usb.1836959 / #post... seems to work for many and can be useful for a test. It also uses Winclone.

My computer will display the BIOS boot screen then do nothing yet, I insert the Windows installation disc and I press F11, 12 > no response, F10 > BIOS Setup. What should I do with it?
Brand: HP
Type: laptopModel No.: Pavilion zt3000512 MB DDR1 RAMThank you very much!Hi Dominic,
Are you able to get into BIOS to make changes?
If so, you can try to reset the default settings of the BIOS and check.
NOTE: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
You can also try to remove all external usb devices that can be connected to the system and start-up and see if the system boots.

I can't install Windows XP SP3. Windows Installer of my computer is buggy and I can't fix it.
Title really says it all, but I guess I can go into the details here. I'm trying to update my PalmOne M505 to work with Windows XP. I have the .exe file. It uses Windows Installer to install so I can read my M505 with XP. Problem: Windows Installer is completely planted on my computer for some reason any.
On a related note, I can't install updates; probably due to the installer of Windows being broken. I followed the instructions on the page to support to the letter (and the number!), but it does not solve anything. I could use a little help...
Even if someone does that send me some kind of update package that does not use Windows Installer...
And on a side note, what the bajeezus, I chose not only as my profile name! It should be "Kaos_Lord!"
Note 2: it is fixed?
What the heck! It is an error to Windows XP! I did not in the Windows 7 forum.
[This forum is for discussions specific to Windows Update on Win7, Vista, and Windows XP, despite what you see at the top of the page or in the URL. Yes, it's @# $% & confusing! [What were they thought?]
Backup of personal data (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then do a format and clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

Installation of Windows 7 Professional on a computer laptop windows preinstalled
So yesterday, I did a check disk on C:, but since it froze because of some damage to windows, I force shut down (I'm sorry), but when windows came after that, the internet was off because the diagnosis Services policy has been down. After awhile, I realized that half of my registry was severely damaged causing most of the main as firewall programs and some services stop and does not start again. I checked all permissions, but nothing allows me to activate the services. My computer was really slow and freezing all the time anyway so I want to reset it to factory settings, or at least format my HDD, but the problem is that my HP laptop had Windows 7 Professional pre-installed on it so I have no disk to reinstall. Now I need help or opinnions popular on what to do, please someone help me on how to reinstall windows without the disc. (Restore doesn't work either) (I checked for the virus as well)
Hello
One option would be to create your own Windows installation disc, but you must always be able to read the activation key of 25 characters for Windows 7 Professional of your COA label - an example of a COA label can be seen here.
You can download the Disk Image, you need from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here. These Images are clean and a very respected source - Digital River.
Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

All pilots additional and the software you may need are by entering either your model number. or Nr here.

Original title: update
Windows Installer keeps trying to install an update for Paint Shop Photo Album, which is no longer available. How he remove without disabling the windows installer? I installed v4.5 installer that allows enabling or disabling updates. Paint Shop appears but the box is not checked, so the installer must ignore, right?
Using msconfig, I can find nothing in startup or services that will completely eliminate the problem, Evin with instaler disabled, Setup window will start to blink during boot computer has been scanned and cleaned with Security Essentials, SuperAntiSpy and Spybot. \
There is a key in registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\ referring to it.
What is no longer available - Paint Shop Photo Album or the update?
If you have uninstalled Paint Shop Photo Album, you might see if running free Revo Uninstaller is able to get rid of leftovers that could cause problems.

Hi JohnYusko,
1. have you done any hardware changes or software on your computer before this problem?
2. do you have security software installed on your computer?
3. when exactly you receive this error message?
(a) I recommend you run a virus scan online from the link given below and check if the problem persists:
Also, make sure that you have the latest update of the software antivirus installed on your computer, so that it works correctly.
(b) you can also download & run Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer.
Due to Windows Installer, you try to unregister Windows Installer, and then reregister Windows Installer and check if the problem persists. To do this, follow these steps:
a. initially, box run, type "msiexec /unreg" and press ENTER on the keyboard.
b. Type "msiexec/regserver" and press ENTER on the keyboard.Hope the helps of information.
