Windows Vista. Setup.exe has stopped working and I can't get the program to load.

I have a Gateway laptop with Windows Vista.  I put Norton anti-virus on it last year.  Now I am trying to run the new disk of Norton and the computer tells me that setup.exe has stopped working and I can't run the program. Norton 2008 has been removed.

Download/run their abovelink Norton Uninstall tool to ensure that all "Norton" is deleted.

Then, right-click on the setup.exe Norton > run as admin.

If the above does not help:

  • Satellite A300D - upgrade Vista - "Setup.exe has stopped working".

    Hello

    I use Satellite A300D with Vista and I tried to upgrade to Windows 7 using Toshiba upgrader.

    After the language selection and proceed to the other steps, it asks me to uninstall a bunch of programs. Some are uninstalled very well, but when it comes to four other programs he says "Setup.exe has stopped working" and it does not uninstall.

    I tried to uninstall the manually, but I got the same message.

    These programs are;
    Setup driver Atheros
    Toshiba hardware configuration
    Toshiba supervisor password
    Realtek High Definition Audio Driver

    So I can't go ahead with the upgrade.

    Anyone know what could be the problem?

    Thanks in advance,

    Pouvez - TR
    .

    Hello

    Anyboday tried to run the upgrade as an administrator? Therefore, click on the setup.exe file on the upgrade disc and run it as an administrator.

    Moreover I also upgraded from Vista to Windows 7, but in the manual supplied with the notebook, I founded the information, that it s to start the upgrade directly after a new installation of recovery.

    If you did a recovery facility before the upgrade?

  • Error 'setup.exe has stopped working' when installing Quicken.

    Original title: setup.exe has stopped working

    I have read through the related forums and don't think I've seen a solid answer to this problem.  I'm trying to reinstall Quicken on my Dell Inspiron 530 Vista with service pack 2.  (Long and ugly tells how he got deleted at first - thank you, Intuit).

    When I try to install Quicken, I get the above error message.  I tried the clean boot solution; I tried to enter the installation and execution of the exe directly from there; I tried to do a right click to open/run as administrator... etc.

    I have NOT run BigFix.com or other third-party software to solve this problem - I'm very comfortable with another piece of software download and throw into the equation.  What is a corrupted registry and I have TO run third to fix?  Is it a bug of Vista - is there a fix of bug for her?

    I really don't like that to 'guilty' at this point, I just want to repair and recover my electronic payments!  Help, please!

    Hey, Keenon,.

    Please, remove all existing components of Quicken from the computer and do a fresh install.

    Step 1: use QcleanUI uninstall Quicken
