Installation Error
Hi,
When I try to install Macromedia Flash MX 2004 on my computer, I get to the install screen with the progress bar, and it stays on 0%. I have waited and waited but still nothing. When I exit the installation, it can take up to 10 minutes to close, and at the end comes up with an error saying: "An error occured while launching the setup. The remote procedure call failed." Also, I got the same error trying to install a game (Myth 3) earlier today. What is up with that? Please reply when you can, as it is very annoying not being able to install things on my computer -Chris |

Press Start button Press Run Type "services.msc" without the quotes Hit enter Scroll and find the RPC services. The first one should be started and set to automatic. The second one (the locator) should be set to manual. The first one should be running at all times. The second should run only when something needs it. If they are set that way and you still have this problem then instead of typing services.msc like you did above type "eventvwr.msc" without the quotes again and look to see if there are any errors with the RPC service listed. If there are then Google the Event ID # and you should get a hit to tell you what steps to take next. Galen -- Signature changed for a moment of silence.

I have no idea what section etc. the errors should be in etc., could you possibly be more specific please? Thanks. -Chris |

I was able to install Flash MX 2004 on this system (I had to install it anyhow) without a problem so it's not a typical system problem. Do you have any security software running while you're installing? Are you 99.9% sure your system is free from malware? (You can NEVER be 100% sure.)

Do you have any security software running while you're installing? Are you 99.9% sure your system is free from malware? (You can NEVER be 100% sure.) There are no flags to do with RPC. I tried turning off all firewalls + virus-checkers, nothing though. And yes I am, I ran an Ad-Aware check last night. However, I booted into Safe Mode and it installed for some reason, so I can use it now. But this is still an annoying problem for installing certain things, like games etc. -Chris |

The implications there are that you have something running that was preventing you from installing the game which wasn't loaded in safe mode. Makes me wonder what it was.
