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.

    • Sayan Sen, do you think one day an image of the Windows Vista desktop or the wallpaper could be used in the primary image of an article? (When I think of CDs and DVDs I think of that release of Windows and of earlier releases; it is the one that debuted IMAPI 2.0 and other features.)
    • Big fan of EAC Here's a good non-default naming scheme I found on the web (can't take credit) File Name Scheme - %albumartist%\%year% - %albumtitle%\%tracknr2% %title% Various Artists Naming Scheme - Various Artists\%year% - %albumtitle%\%tracknr2% %title% Also, I need test but there is a new flac.exe binary & dll you can drop in the folder to upgrade flac support. I did this pre EAC 1.8. EAC 1.8 did upgrade it to 1.4.3. Flac 1.5.0 came out this year. https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/xiph/releases/flac/ I don't know how much of a difference / impact will make.

    • ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode gets a significant update to make it sound more natural by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI introduced Advanced Voice Mode last year alongside the launch of GPT-4o. This feature uses natively multimodal models, such as GPT-4o, and can respond to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds, similar to human response time in a typical conversation. It can also generate audio that feels more natural, pick up on non-verbal cues, such as the speed you’re talking, and respond with emotion. Early this year, OpenAI released a minor update to Advanced Voice Mode that reduced interruptions and improved accents. Today, OpenAI has launched a significant upgrade to Advanced Voice Mode, making it sound even more natural and human-like. Responses now feature subtler intonation, realistic cadence—including pauses and emphasis—and more accurate expressiveness for certain emotions such as empathy and sarcasm. This update also introduces support for translation. ChatGPT users can now use Advanced Voice Mode to translate between languages. Simply ask ChatGPT to start translating, and it will continue translating throughout the conversation until instructed to stop. This feature effectively replaces the need for dedicated voice translation apps. For now, the updated Advanced Voice Mode is available only to ChatGPT paid users. OpenAI also noted that there are some known limitations with this latest update, outlined below. This update may occasionally result in minor reductions in audio quality, such as unexpected variations in tone and pitch—especially noticeable with certain voice options. OpenAI expects to improve audio consistency over time. Rare hallucinations in Voice Mode still persist, sometimes producing unintended sounds resembling ads, gibberish, or background music. While some minor limitations remain, the steady stream of improvements points to a future where the line between human and AI conversation becomes increasingly indistinguishable.
