SPTD Doesnt install!

[Guest]

For some reason, SPTD v 1.38 doesn't install. I've also tried previous versions and they haven't installed either. It gives me the message about SPTD must reboot to install. So I reboot, and wait a while, and nothing happens, and then I click the installer again. Guess what appears? SPTD must reboot to install. I'd say I have tried rebooting about 30 times with multiple versions and nothing has worked. I have no clue if I have any kernel debuggers on my computer because my sister gave this computer to me. Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

Wait a second. What do you expect to happen after reboot, when you say you wait a while, and nothing happens? If you run installer again at that point, you should get a message, whether e.g. same version is detected, or no version is detected - what do you see there?

Well, okay, when I first install it, it goes through the EULA and then it says it must reboot to install the SPTD driver. So when I restart my computer, and launch the application, it says the same exact thing- it goes through the EULA and says it must reboot to install the SPTD driver.

Basically, apparently rebooting isnt doing what its supposed to (finish the installation) and it seems to be just going in a big loop. Its supposed to perform operations on reboot but apparently it doesnt, and im not sure why, or how to fix it. So, its not even installing...because it just keeps looping...I cannot possibly install it any way that i know of

Seems something prevents SPTD from being installed correctly.
Check the existance of the following key in registry:
In HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sptd check if key named r0 exists after reboot. This is volatile key of SPTD layer installation which should disappear after reboot. If it still exists delete r0, then run installer again.

Same problem here, reboot, try to install, reboot, try to install, reboot, etc. I've looked for the registry key and it's not there. The version of sptd with daemon tools 4.08 does the same thing.

[Guest]

I have a g0, s1, and s2, but no r0..also i have the same problem with d-tools 4.x, just as tboswell stated...btw....im not sure if i have a kernel debugger installed which is conflicting with such...or how to detect if i do...this might be a problem? Otherwise , what is it? Why isnt it working?

[Guest]

I´m having the exact same problem here.

After install I´m getting: "No SPTD version was detected" - I reboot/run install again ... still the same condition.

I´ve tried deleting the R0 registry key and restarting/installing again.

Running Vista x64 MSDN RTM. - note: i´ve tried all combinations of startup, including disabling the driver signature enforcement - safe boot - etc.

Hope you´ll have a solution soon

Do NOT reboot after removal of r0 key! Just run installer again - what does it say?

[Guest]

If I... install>delete R0>install(no reboot) ..... then I get: No SPTD version was detected.

I doesn´t seem to make any difference how I go about it - the SPTD install is never recognized.

I had SPTD 1.35? working ( the one that came with Deamon Tools 4.06)
...i´ve tried reinstalling the old version, but still no go.....

[Guest]

Do NOT reboot after removal of r0 key!

I dont HAVE the r0 present even before rebooting!! ITs not there. That was the other people who had it. I dont have an r0 key. And i have XP not Vista. What do i do? it just keeps restarting and restarting the installer.

[Guest]

Sorry for sounding rude. If you dont know the answer, just tell me that and I am fine with it, honestly..nobody knows everything..

[Digger]

Do you see any error messages regarding SPTD in system event log (execute eventvwr.msc)?

[Guest]

I see none, I checked all types of messages for the sptd category and nothing was found in the entire system log.

[Digger]

Provide your complete system specs, and complete list of installed software then. SPTD installs correctly on healthy systems, something blocks the correct installation on your system.

[Guest]

I'll give you the list of programs in add/remove , but I am not sure what you mean in terms of system specs? Is there a tool I can use to find and generate a log of this? What exactly are you looking for? I'm better with software than hardware and this probably shows in my questions.

List of programs in add/remove *found with HijackThis logfile scanner in Misc. Tools- note that first two __ entries do not have names and thus i have no clue what they might be, they are shown as blank spaces ( the number of _'s is the number of characters maybe? for the name but they exist somehow possibly. >?
