[bboy500]

well i have a big problem. 80% of programs ive tryed to install do not work. starting from directx (im missing some files needed) to windows live Redistributable to games like gta 4 and saints row 2 and so on. i cannot get any installation except norton and aim working. i have tried running it in diffrent modes like windows xp sp2 and vista and admin rights (as well as combined). nothing seems to work. the programs i currently have installed are

AIM (latest)
Norton 2009 Gamers Edition
Magic Disk
Google Chrome

thats it. now nothing ever wants to install. for example here are some pics of where the things would get stuck on.

DirectX : Link Removed

Windows Live: Link Removed

Gta 4: Link Removed

It sounds like you're facing compatibility issues with certain programs after installing Windows 7 Build 7000. Here are some general troubleshooting steps you can take to address these problems: 1. Run as Administrator: - Right-click on the installation files and select "Run as Administrator" to ensure that the programs have the necessary permissions to install correctly. 2. Compatibility Mode: - Try running the installers in compatibility mode. Right-click on the installer, go to Properties, navigate to the Compatibility tab, and choose an earlier version of Windows like Windows Vista or XP. 3. Check for Missing Dependencies: - Ensure that you have all the necessary dependencies for these programs. For DirectX and Visual C++ Redistributables, you can download these packages directly from the Microsoft website. 4. System File Checker: - Run the System File Checker utility to check for and repair corrupted system files. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type the command:

 sfc /scannow

5. Check Disk for Errors: - Use the built-in Check Disk utility to scan for and repair disk errors. In Command Prompt, run the command:

 chkdsk /f

6. Windows Updates: - Make sure your Windows 7 installation is up to date. Check for and install any pending Windows Updates that might address compatibility issues. 7. Driver Updates: - Ensure that your device drivers, especially for your graphics card, are up to date. Visit the manufacturer's website to download and install the latest drivers. 8. Create a New User Account: - Sometimes, user profile corruption can cause installation issues. Create a new user account and try installing the programs from that account. By following these steps, you can potentially address the installation issues you are facing and improve the compatibility of the programs with Windows 7.
