An unknown error occurred when installing....


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to install AP XP 4.6 on a fresh install of Win XP SP2. I have SP2 slipstreamed into the installation CD. I have installed the latest WHQL drivers for the NForce2 chipset, Spybot, Ad-Aware, and AVG antivirus. I've installed on several SP2 systems and I put the previous version of AP on a number of SP1 systems, and I never had any trouble.

For every update Autopatcher tries to install, it generates an error message saying "An unknown error occurred when installing _______________________. " Then it says to try running AP again when it's done. The progress bars move, but nothing actually gets installed. At the end of the progress bar for each individual update it will wait for me to click "OK" on the error message, then the message will pop up for the next update and everything repeats.

I tried the Tweak and Full versions, and it's happening every time, no matter how many options I select (or deselect).

Here's system info:

AXP 1700+

Shuttle AN35 mobo

512 MB DDR

ATI Radeon 9600SE

Samsung CDR

Acer CDROM

Seagate 60GB HD

no overclock (yet)

So, anybody know what I can do to get AP to work?

    • Meh could never use the UWP as I use WhatsApp business and it's features are available on the standard. Thos this applies to both windows and macos+ipad versions. So I'm stuck on using web versions for whatever platform.
    • I hardly have issues with my ipad pro 4's faceid while holding it on Portrait
    • Sure, one example: Two computers side by side. Your main system is connected to a sound bar or a high end TV with good audio built in. Your secondary machine is the one you play music, movies, YouTube, check email, etc. on another monitor while you work/play games on your main system. In this case, the main computer converts all audio to Dolby Atmos which goes out to the main TV/soundbar (or your bluetooth/headphones), no matter if it comes from the main machine or the secondary...with no latency issues. And whatever you'd be doing on the secondary computer isn't hitting your main computer's CPU or GPU if, say, gaming some serious FPS or at 4k etc. That's just one home use case for a networked audio solution. I'm sure others can think up more of them.
    • Yeah, I've looked at all of these. Dante is a pro and expensive program, of course. I'm just looking for simple audio/music sharing from one PC/device to another. Voicemeeter is a lovely bit of kit, but the interface is NOT user friendly to set up initially, unless you are an audio engineer who thinks the way the program does. It works though. I just didn't feel the juice was worth the squeeze on that one. The other ones you mention each have problems, like no longer maintained/updated, blocks auto-audio switching on receiving computer from say headphones to HDMI, etc. Spotify does this, but only for music played by Spotify. Multiplicity does this (but isn't free) for all audio on one PC (like you'd want) but hiccups the audio on the source PC if too much CPU is used (so you really can't use a very old PC as a music/video/youtube player). Oh, and because of how the old version (I haven't tried the newly released one because it still has a showstopping bug that's not been addressed) shares the mouse between screens, it interferes (and can crash) video games on the server/main machines, etc. Multiplicity Pro was the best of the normal solutions, however. If the two machines are side by side, you can use analog line out to analog line in, but then you are getting analog noise/problems. It's the simplest and most solution, of course.
