SmartCat and Win8
Comments

Greg,
At some point Win8 will ask you to allow this to be installed, I bet that message may have gotten covered up the first time, and then subsequent installs did not give you that option . Stop or allow Catinstaller_64.msi with exceptions through your firewall and anti-virus. Also I have found some folks had loaded another brand of firewall and anti-virus, but the windows firewall was also running, having two SW firewalls is problematic, so check for that too. Also you might want to try the install from another account, and reboot in between uninstalls and installs, these are drivers you are trying to install.0 -
Greg,
Sorry to hear of your struggles but I am also thankful that you are posting them. This just reinforces my decision to stay away from Win8 like the plague!0 -
Greg - I need a screen shot of the error you are receiving so I can better understand the nature of the error. You have my company e-mail, please send it to me off list.0

Greg,
i have no issues with installations of the SmarCat on Win8 and further Win8.1 after uprgade in any different combinations with SSDR - start installation of the SmartCat after SSDR installation immideately or after upgrade. PC: Notebook Toshiba Cosmio X70-A-L5S with i7-4700MQ 2,4gHz, 32G Ram, SSD and discrete Video base on GeForce GTX 770M, try to install SmartCat with disconnected all peripheral devices (i guess it mostly USB base )
Regarding Win8 and Win8.1 i would like to notice what was changed policies of the device driver utilization from apps side - not all previously successefully running device drivers can be accessed from the apps: ex. DDutil can never any more manage SCR preselector in Win8 and Win8.1 - system message: device occupied by other process(even after plug out/plug in)0 -

I had the same problem when trying to install SmartCAT on a Win 8.1 computer. I found that the previous installation of CAT on this computer was causing the issue. The Previous CAT and SmartSDR had to be removed using the Programs and Features manager in the Control Panel. Then reboot the computer, Install the SmartSDR using Admin Privileges. Look in the folder where you installed the new FLEX and open the SmartSDR folder. There should be another folder named Modules. In this folder you will find CatInstaller_64.msi. Install this software with Admin Privileges. I had to repeat this step several times until I finally got it to install correctly.

Thanks for all the replies. The process I have done already is: 1. Use SmartCat to remove all the flex ports. 2. Using the control panel, uninstall SmartCat. 3. Reboot. Then use Device manager to verify the flex virtual ports are gone. The computer's properties have already been changed to allow viewing of hidden ports. 4. Go to the modules folder and run the installation pkg from the only account used on this computer which is the admin account. 5. I have tried this also with disabling the Windows firewall with the same results. 6. I have tried with various security settings where it will or won't ask if I trust the bronze bear source. 7. I have tried by clicking on OK on the Bronze bear trusted source quickly and slowly. 8. I do not see any files to get rid of in the appdata/roaming folders nor in the registry. 9. On the last installation I had the same problem. It finally installed after around 80 attempts. I am past that now with no success. 10. Tim - I will grab a screenshot of the error and send it to you off list this evening. But it essentially says the installation has been interrupted prior to installing, click close and try again. 11. I do not run SSDR on this computer. It is used for DDUtil and Green Heron Everywere server. But I thought maybe SmartCat needed to have it installed so I tried that too with no difference. Thanks...hope I can resolve this prior to NAQP tomorrow. 73 Greg0

Could it be a rights issue?0

Greg,
I would like to mentioned additionally: successful installation under Win 8.1 able after ~1-2min after system start(depends how many drivers are loading), means when drivers are started properly, before final system startup I retrieve a error message with DAX - DAX driver can't start due device busy by others

I think I have let the OS start and waited up to 5 minutes before trying to install SmartCat....but I will try again just to be sure. Thanks Sergey. Don - This is the only use for this particular computer (lenovo 24" all in one with touch screen and i5 processor). I have the only account and it is the admin account. So rights should not be the issue. 73 Greg0

Even though you may have admin privileges you may have to start the install in admin mode. I have apps that wont run even if I start them as an administrator. Once I change the property of the program it works. I am not saying that is your issue but just a thought. See picture of how to set admin to an app.
0 -
Don, That is good once the program is installed. You cannot set that for the installer package. There is no run as administrator option available for the installer. Once I manage to get it installed there has been no issue with it running as it should. I just cannot get it to install.0

Time to do some MSI logging to see where the issues are I think.You can launch the CAT installer using MSIEXEC and log the whole process.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759262(v=ws.10).aspx
basically from an Admin level command prompt:
MSIEXEC catinstaller_64.msi /L*vThe log file will be created in the folder where MSIEXEC is executed from.
Here is a previous thread where I discussed the same process.
https://community.flexradio.com/flexradio/topics/still_having_a_problem_getting_smartsdr_cat_to_load...0 -
you are correct.0
-
Thanks...I will try that tonight as well. From the cmd prompt do I include the entire folder path for the catinstaller_64.msi file or just the way you have it? MSIEXECc:program filesflex radio systemssmartCATmodulescatinstaller_64.msi /L*v Or c:program filesflex radio systemssmartCATmodulesMSIEXEC catinstaller_64.msi /L*v0
-
Simply run a Command Prompt in Admin Mode and then CD into the folder where the CatInstaller_64 is.Then use this command line:
msiexec /i CatInstaller_64.msi /L*V "catinstall.log"
MSIEXEC is in your system path, so the OS will find it.
And then the Installer will start as normal (in Admin mode also).
Once complete (or failed) you will have the catinstall.log in the same folder.0 -
You can of course place the log file wherever you like...
msiexec /i CatInstaller_64.msi /L*V "d:catinstall.log"
On the d drive for example.

Hi Greg. I had this problem. Computer gave error "The error code is 2739." This problem occurs after some updates related to Google+ photos, can not say exactly. In this case, you must install from the command line as an administrator here these dll: - "regsvr32 jscript.dll" and "regsvr32 vbscript" in the root of drive C: And it solves the problem. Thank you. Vladimir (R3QG)0

Thanks....I will run the log this evening and post the results.0
-
You should also as a matter of maintainance run a system file check, just in case some system dll's are out of sync. The built in System File Checker will do this for you.
Again, from an elevated command prompt:SFC /scannow

Vlad...where do I get those dll files to install them?0
-
Both those files are system files and located in the windowssystem32 folder.
If you want to try the re-registering...just open a Command Prompt in admin mode (it will start in the system32 folder). then:
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll0 -
I will try this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949140 Note I am running 64bit version.0

Sounds like a plan...
You are running a 64-bit version of the Windows operating system, and you receive the error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section while you are using the 32-bit scripting components- Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
- Type %systemroot%syswow64
egsvr32 %systemroot%syswow64vbscript.dll, and then press ENTER. - Type %systemroot%syswow64
egsvr32 %systemroot%syswow64jscript.dll, and then press ENTER. - Type %systemroot%syswow64
egsvr32 %systemroot%syswow64dispex.dll, and then press ENTER. - Type %systemroot%syswow64
egsvr32 %systemroot%syswow64scrobj.dll, and then press ENTER. - Type %systemroot%syswow64
egsvr32 %systemroot%syswow64scrrun.dll, and then press ENTER. - Type %systemroot%syswow64
egsvr32 %systemroot%syswow64wshext.dll, and then press ENTER. - Type %systemroot%syswow64
egsvr32 %systemroot%syswow64wshom.ocx, and then press ENTER.

Greg - must select Start / Run (or on the keyboard simultaneously press Win + R) and specify the following commands (after each command sets must click on the OK button): regsvr32 vbscript.dll regsvr32 jscript.dll 3. Repeat the installation program0
-
I did the vbscript.dll per the above post. That went well. When I tried the jscript.dll I got an error saying it was loaded but the call to dllregisterserver failed with error code 0x80004005.
I went ahead and tried the installation and it took this time. So apparently the VBScript was causing the problem but I am not sure what to do about the jscript error.

Was your Antivirus running? It may have been blocked by AV - as it jscript that is used by IE etc.

Also, check this thread....it may offer some insight too.

Greg, I just had the same problem with the CAT install and Jim Gilliam suggested that I have the radio on when installing CAT. Worked the first time smooth as butter so I'm a happy camper. Don't know if you have tried with the radio on but it worked for Jim and me. Good Luck Al N4AB.0

I had tried that before with no luck. Registering the VBScrip.dll file seems to have done it even though I still get an error registering JScript. So it was either this or it just finally decided to give up.
