Zune Player 2.5 | Installation only checks for updates

tmburner · 05-08-2008, 11:26 AM

Ok, I probably did the ID-10T action and uninstalled with Unzoone before uninstalling with the regular Zune package first, but I thought it might solve the initial problem I had. Here is my current problem:

I uninstalled with Unzoone to try to clear the machine before I reinstalled. I reset the machine and started up the Zune 2.5 package but the installer only checks for updates and then returns saying the software is up-to-date. There is not Zune directory in Program Files or a registry entry for HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Zune or HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ZuneSetup.

Anyone know of where the installer is look for updates on the machine when the player is not on the machine?

Regedit is your friend here. Clean out the Registry, use "Zune" to search for entries in the Registry.

User Windows Installer Cleanup to make sure there still isn't an Installer entry. (Most likely problem)

Ensure you have eliminated the Application Data folder as well.

Try another reinstall.

Nah, I think iTunes 2 and Winamp 3 are still at the top of the list.

I found a solution that ended up working for me. I downloaded the full Zune package (microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=6136349F-2B32-4946-83B5-A09775531EF4&displaylang=en). After extracting, inside the x86/packages folder run the Zune-x86.msi (no pretty UI installer package).

For me, this just ran through the installer and disappeared when finished. Now I have a Zune player again.

Yeah I tried this method but i get this popup at the end of the installation which says something about "DriverCA 19:54:20:062" Operation 'InstallHardwareDriver' has finished with no result, and when i click OK Zune uninstalls itself. :S

Please Help!
