Hello guys, I'm having trouble installing the third file (components) from the LGPNST download. It simply won't install, tried it in two different computers and got the same problem on both. Anyone have an idea on what could be the problem?

 

[BRAINZ2013]

Hello and welcome to the forums . May i ask which file is it you tried to download and if you tried it with the user control turned off .

 

[Aldance]

Thank you Brainz. I tried downloading the file on the first page
"-LGPNST- Dev-Host - LGPNST.zip - The Ultimate Free File Hosting / File Sharing Service"
I am able to successfully install the first two, then the third won't. I tried with User Controlled On and Off, same thing.
I simply turned it off the second time with out uninstalling it, should I uninstall it and then try again with UC off?

I get "Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run."

 

[BRAINZ2013]

Yes but what file is it your trying to install name somethings may have invalid dl links . Thats why i need the name of the file to help you out

 

[Aldance]

Oh, ok, Let me explain better. I downloaded the LGPNST package from the first page. Inside it it has several folders, One says 'Install me 1st', then the second says 'Install me 2nd' I can install those just fine. However when I get to the folder 'Install me 3rd' and I try to install the file 'LGNPST_Components_Ver_5_0_12_0.msi' within the folder I get "Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run."

I've downloaded the LGNPST package twice to see if it was a bad download but till get the same error message.

 

[BRAINZ2013]

Ok do you have JAVA on your computer . And do this computer have the user control disabled . And do you have all the drivers for the lg device installed

 

[Aldance]

As far as I know; yes, yes, and yes. I also get the same error message when I try to uninstall the botched installation.

 

[Fuzzy13]

Make sure there is nothing running in the background on your PC. Turn off all firewalls, antivirus programs, etc.....

I've never seen anyone have issues installing the LG files. Especially getting 2 installed and having trouble with the 3rd. If all else fails, uninstall whatever you can, reboot and try again and see if you get a different result.

 

[Aldance]

Thanks guys, I got it to work, just did it all over again one more time. Not sure what was the issue, but thanks.

 

[PRallday168]

Ive had trouble installing the lg packages before when i first got test death mode . what i did was after the first one installed i did a reboot and installed the second and reboot and so forth. maybe thatll help others as well.

I've tried to download the "Lg repair test mode.rar" like about 6 times and it keeps saying its a virus and deletes the content from the computer. My phone has service again but test mode is still activated so i cant manually program it. Any suggestions, if I could just get that file to download and extract to my desktop id be good to go, but when i try to extract it, it says its a virus..
???

 

[Sayumm]

Can someone help me out with this please??? I dont want to download a virus -_-

 

[Sayumm]

Figured it out, McAfee was blocking the file. Got it sorted out and fixed. Thanks!

 

[PRallday168]

Hope with this ZVE update we dont get this test mode plague... think i jinxed myself lol...time will tell...

[BRAINZ2013]

O ok you said just the first one was a problem but it is a problem its 2 or more screens . What windows version and did you try to uninstall and reinstalling with user control off .also what framework is your pc/laptop

Ya the second screen is the real problem because i cant see the write button to edit phone number. I am on windows 7 and UAC is off. and net framework 4
