Logitech Setpoint on Vista 64, install solution

[Guest Frobinrobin]

I had a problem installing Logitech Setpoint 64 bit Vista version.

Whilst I had searched the Logitech site for solutions none of them

worked, I have found the cause and the solution ... this should even

apply to some other software installations on Vista.

 

Problem: Logitech Setpoint 4.0 for 64Bit Vista will not complete the

installation.

Cause: Admin rights not applied to the "correct" executable, due to

unzipping of files to temp dir.

Solution:

1) Run the Logitech Setpoint installer as Administrator

This will unzip the actual installation files to a temp folder within

C:\Users\UrUserName\AppData\Local\Temp\

2) Locate the real installation files (search for setup.exe within the

above folder) mine was called "pft3786.tmp" - within this folder are

the actual set up files.

3) Run the Setup.exe in this folder AS ADMINISTRATOR and the software

will install correctly.

 

Hope this helps anyone with similar install problems.

Another solution that generally works is to open a cmd (or PowerShell)

windows As Administrator. From that window, run the .exe to unzip it. Then

"cd /d %temp%" to change to the unzip directory, and run the setup program

it dumped there. (it may be in a subdirectory of %temp%.)

 

During this process, your context stays as administrator, so you shouldn't

be prompted for UAC again.
