I'M GOING BATSHIRT. щ(ಥ益ಥщ) I've been at this for half an effing day!!
Hokae, so here's all of what I did in a nutshell.
I abandon all humbleness and shall do sliding dogeza (GOOGLE IT) to all who can provide me assistance.
Basic info:
OS--Windows 7 Ultimate
HP, not Dell
RUNNING IN SAFE MODE (with networking)
RUNNING ALL .exe AS ADMIN
Programs possibly relevant (but I'm running in SM, so they shouldn't be relevant, right? ...Right?): Ashampoo WinOptimizer, Microsoft Security Essentials, COMODO Internet Security (Defense++ disabled just in case)... (NO ZoneAlarm)
((If possible, I would like to avoid uninstalling my AV/Firewall programs unless absolutely neccessary. My internet is as competent as Palin, and they'll take forever--if at all possible--to reinstall today.))
1. Downloaded Alcohol 120% 2.0.1.2033 Trial. FAILED.
---"Setup must restart Windows and continue installation after reboot. Would you like to restart now?" Yeah, sure. I reboot, and it does the same thing.
ಠ_ರೃ Verily do I insist that this doth BLOW.
----Oh, and earlier on (off Safe Mode) it was also pestering me about an Internal Setup Error.
-----My system is sober; there's nothing in my system Alcohol 120% related.
2. Downloaded SPTDinst-v1.78-x64--"You need to reboot for changes to take effect." (Run it again, it'll just say "You must reboot after previous operation".) After restart, SPTD isn't even detected--If I try to install again it tells me "You need to reboot for changes to take effect."
.../Eye twitches.
3. So I download sptdremov and delete everything sptd-related in regedit (using find)(after taking hours trying to figure out how to get the neccessary permissions--right now, (COMPUTERNAME)/Administrator is the owner of everything).
Reboot, tried again, to no avail. /seizes and loses punchyoudeadality
--Yes, I changed the Start value to 4.
--...Yes, I deleted r0. And the error log. And everything else.
TRIED:
- On all the installs: Right-click > Properties > Security - Unblock. (Y U NO WOK?)
- Disabled UAC. I can't even tell if it did anything. It certainly doesn't seem so.
- Running cmd, and under System 32: [ bcdedit /config off ] because apparently "SPTD is not compatible with kernel debuggers". (?)
- Different install downloads--needless to say, tis failt.
( Now my laptop is giving off an annoying high-pitched squeal, I'm hungry, a key on my keyboard broke a while ago, and two cushions on the bottom of my laptop fell off and they're no longer sticky and I have no glue, I need a screwdriver and a can of compressed air to clean my fans, I no longer have access to the house's main wifi, I need to pee but I don't want to get up again, my back is sore, I can't find a comfortable resting position, I feel like I'm gonna suffocate, IT'S 5:33 IN THE AM, my room is a mess, I have to leave by 9AM, I'm missing out on events due to my carpy internet, one of my favourite characters returned from a death that everyone knew he survived but TOO SOON and in a totally not dramatic enough fashion--and he came in smiling--SMILING--goddamn it, he better still be the jackarse we hold precious!!, knowing I probably won't receive a quick and effective reply, really not wanting to use DAEMON, severely doubting Nero and besides we have a copy of Silent Hill 2 in the house that we aren't sharing effectively so we want to duplicate it, even worse THINGS COULD GET EVEN WORSE considering it's me--deus angst machina, and RAAAAAAEEG! /flips ceiling)
Please. Help meee________ .
(That was supposed to be a trail of blood, apparently.)
