Diskeeper 9 wont install.
Well I successfully installed it on 3 other computers useing the same .exe file, but I get this error message on one of the machines. They are all running XP Pro SP2 btw. All fully updated, Cleaned, Reg fixed, etc.

edit: btw, that look is just a theme. Everyone wanted different themes and this friend liked the MacOs X look.
also, could I defrag his computer with that server admin method? Maybe if I couldnt solve this problem.. i could work around it by useing another computer to defrag his. ?
Re: Diskeeper 9 wont install.
THE Diskeeper INSTALLS TO
C:\Program Files\Executive Software\DiskeeperWorkstation
OR
C:\Program Files\Executive Software\Diskeeper
CHECK WHICH ONE IT IS
1 try installing diskeeper and let the error message popup
once this has happened click Start then Run
type in regedit and click ok or press enter key once.
(with error message and installer still running).
2. Go To:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Diskeeper
3. click on the diskeeper folder and then you will see imagepath to the right. labeled under data as:
C:\Program Files\Executive Software\DiskeeperWorkstation\DKService.exe
4. double click the imagepath icon and copy and replace:
C:\Program Files\Executive Software\DiskeeperWorkstation\DKService.exe
with
"C:\Program Files\Executive Software\DiskeeperWorkstation\DKService.exe"
OR
"C:\Program Files\Executive Software\Diskeeper\DKService.exe"
( the quotations at the ends is what you gotta add)
click ok then goto view button on the tool bar in registry editor and click refresh or just press F5 once.
then go back to your diskeeper installer with the error message still there click retry and it should be fixed.
IF THE ABOVE DOES NOT WORK
DO YOU HAVE Steganos Internet Anonym Pro
OR Similar Program Try uninstalling it. (NOT TURN OFF/OR DISABLE IT)
Then installing diskeeper
Re: Diskeeper 9 wont install.
@Sudden , Gee you had this problem before! Nice to here from experience ,instead of relying on Goggle . Best way to learn. :01:
Re: Diskeeper 9 wont install.
Ok, I tried both of those and it still refuses to install. Actually the 2nd one wasnt there, but I tried changing the imagepath for "Disk"...still no luck.
Any other ideas? :(
I dont have Steg Internet Moniter... and I'm sure Zone Alarm is ok, since all other 3 comps installed fine while it was installed-n-running
btw, this same computer used to run Diskeeper 8 fine.. I uninstalled it to put on version 9 and it gave me the error. Now when I try to go back to 8, I get the same error also! wtf?
Re: Diskeeper 9 wont install.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Diskeeper
------------------------ -----------------------Should be-----------------\Services\
You Mean this is missing.
If So It has'nt installed correctly or the program is corrupted.
Has there been a previous version installed?

Re: Diskeeper 9 wont install.
I haven’t read the manuals :whistling
Last resort
Uninstall diskeeper again.
If you have a reg edit program delete the executive software files
regcleaner
Then check
c: programs/windows/Downloaded Installations
I found this to be full of surprises programs that I had got rid off where still in here
(Not any more)
You probably find there are quite a few files with diskeeper in them
(Uninstalling /reinstalling)
Look in the long serial numbered ones as well.
Delete all the diskeeper ones including 9
C: program files/Executive Software deletes this folder
Re install
If this doesn’t work
Someone else might be able to help you.
Or read the manuals again:ph34r:
Re: Diskeeper 9 wont install.
Imo it's a blessing. I think PerfectDisk & O&O are far superior apps.
