Error when trying to install 3DMark


Question

I am trying to install 3DMark basic edition downloaded from futuremark directly. When I go to run the installer, UAC pops up needing permission, which I give it. However after about 10 seconds the installer starts running and I get this message:

error.thumb.PNG.7e93f90c3d61ab2ee6e94c4d56fba1df.PNG 

So what do I do in this situation? Obviously if I decline UAC it will not install, but it clearly says that it won't install with privileges!?

Have you tried a non admin command prompt ...

go to the installation folder and type

3dmark-setup.exe /quiet /install

No, I'll try that, thanks!

Still calls UAC!

Do you have UAC turned off via regedit using the EnableLUA setting? Try undoing that.

 

You really do have a lot of system/OS issues lately... I suspect you are tweaking stuff and messing with settings that don't need to be messed up honestly.

No, and the only other issue I am having is most likely related to Fences, I am not 'tweaking' anything, this installation is 3 days old now.

Disable UAC temporarily? 

...and you're not using the built Administrator account are you?  Reading through some of Futuremark forums ... that seems to be an issue with installing 3DMark.

By disable, you mean turn the slider down to do not notify? No I am not using the built in account.

Right click the installer and go to properties, if there is a button that says Unblock, click that and try again.

no button to unblock, and just to try and lowered UAC to do not notify, and when I ran the installer, nothing happened.

@Mando, I am going there as I type, will see what happens.

    • When will the US stop the monster ? They ###### everyone, customers, victims, employees, all the suppliers: the story behind every hw parts is the same, acquired, outsourced, but poaching employees is the cheapest way. The narrative arcs from the last 15 years, all partially or entirely deceptive: security (they stopped with that one, not sustainable), privacy, with the secure cloud ahah, the local AI ahah, selling the user base to Google, ahah, that’s the privacy you will enjoy. Innovations, it became a running gag, when everything is average and years late. The competition: on macOs all their crappy services, 20 apps, that you cannot even hide. They have business practices that no other company could adopt, they would be sued, Apple, on a pedestal for being the greatest parasite company (they capture a lot of wealth, give nothing back, except tens of billion in buybacks every year). Ah, the M socs, they hit a wall (long ago) and still market them as having AAA gaming abilities, they do not, one more fraud. At least there is some fun, Apple building fabs in cooperation with TSMC… ahahahah how are they involved ? Catering ? They provide the cloths ? It’s really sad to see that in the US corruption and mediocrity have reached a level so that companies like Apple or Tesla are getting so much help and support from the administrations, and other entities… that they do not even try to hide today. I wonder when will we know how much the news outlets are being paid to regurgitate anything Apple wants.. This is decay and it’s ugly.
    • it might be a work or school thing. at my work, a disclaimer pops up stating that "you should use google chrome or edge for the best possible experience." at my school, the disclaimer says just to use google chrome. i'm sure a lot of IT guys just want to make it easy and tell employees to use google chrome because of the apparent trends in web developers testing and all. i'm sure that can have big ramifications on browser usage for average users since "if my IT dep permits it, then it's good". i liked that my work also stated Edge, but i've seen "use google chrome" a lot more without mentioning edge. matter of fact, my employer removed firefox from all devices.
    • I happen to try it today not knowing about the update and was happily surprised; it is great.
    • Hello, Hardware Support Applications are a special kind of Microsoft Store app and have to go through additional checks and certifications because they can communicate directly with their driver, which means that a vulnerability in one of them could allow an attacker access to kernel space memory through the HSA ←→ device driver interface.  In other words, a BYOVD (bring your won vulnerable driver) attack, but with the HSA being used as an extra step. Remember, the Microsoft Store is strategic to Microsoft's long-term goals: they see it as the means to get the same 30% of every application sale that Apple and Google get through their stores, which is why it has been a fixture of Windows since Windows 8 was introduced in 2012 despite a low adoption rate.  Microsoft cannot afford to have anyone get an app through their store which causes a security issue for their end users.  Even if the app was written by and uploaded to the Microsoft Store by a partner, it is Microsoft's name on the store, and they are the ones that will have reputational/brand damage if they allow something malicious into their store.
