Apps / Software :: 32-bit Setup Launcher Not Working?
Jan 14, 2013
some (all?) 32-bit setup launchers will not run for me on W8Pro.
I am fairly certain that they did some weeks ago, but not any more. In all the cases I tried, it is older game installers.
I can get them running in safe mode, by using the original CD, or copying the install files to my HDD, so they are technically supported, but something about W8Pro won't let me run them. If I open the task manager, I see "32-bit Setup Launcher (32 bits)" running, not frozen, but not working.
On a fluke I got one installer running once, but I could not reproduce what I did.

I try to reinstall office 2013. I followed everything.
I have tried the auto fix remove office registry. I also deleted everything related in program date, program Files, program(x86). I deleted everything related to office in registry. I also tried clean boot, turn off all start app, run only system service, turn off printer spooler.
I have done all those but still get the same error message, ' Setup bootstrapper has stopped working'.

About three days ago, all new style apps stopped working. I click on the tile, get a deep blue screen, and nothing else. On the left side of the screen, I can see the app as if it is working (just the name of the app, not content), so I can close the window and get back to desktop. The same applies to the STORE app. The only tiles that work, are the links to desktop applications, which open correctly on the desktop. The fault also affects all windows system apps. For example if I search on the start screen for "windows update", I can access "Windows update" as it just opens a window on the desktop, but if I click on "Windows update settings" nothing happens. The same is true with all windows system apps that open in the new start screen system.
I've uninstalled two Microsoft updates that were installed over the past three days, no change. I uninstalled AVAST, no change, so I reinstalled it! I tried restoring the system, but found that I had only one restore, and that was corrupted. Very strange. Without access to many windows system apps, the computer is really limited. The desktop seems to be working OK. I can't refresh the PC, as firstly it is a system app that runs from the start screen, and secondly because I upgraded from win 8 to 8.1 online, this can't be done anyway, as I don't have a disc. I'm really trying to avoid reinstalling windows 8!
(Pavilion dv6, i7 processor, 6GB ram, originally win7, then I upgraded to win 8 and now 8.1. I've been running 8.1 for some months without problems, just occasionally on start-up from sleep, I get "error in non-cached memory" BSOD, and the system restarts.)

I updated windows 8.1 pro with wmc from store.I had NO problems, received no error messages, had no dc's, the power didn't shut off, the download didn't stop .. literally nothing went wrong. After update everything worked fine. All the apps are downloaded and were working fine.
But,After 2/3 months since updated, I suddenly noticed that every live tile / folder / app / game / setting etc. which were working fine, now not working.When I clicked on any tile, nothing happened. It just went to a blank green screen because my background color is green. It appears on the left upper corner as opened but doesn't run. When I click, I am send back to Start Screen or Desktop. Even Store and Windows Setting stopped working. So, naturally i started checking the web for answers, but couldn't find a solution to the exact problem i was having. I saw countless posts of people saying "Just uninstall / re-install the apps" but at first, I couldn't get my App store app to run. Again, it was just blank after several minutes of waiting. I was able to download it after using the search bar menu on the right side of my computer, and was able to start installing some apps.
So i thought that everything was going to be ok, but then I ran into another problem where some of the apps wouldn't install, and I received an error message with the code/number of 0x80070002.
So, at this point, only a few of my apps are working due to the simple fact that I was able to re-install them, but the others I can't re-install because of this error message.
FIRST SOLUTION:I found a thread online that someone had created with a simple fix to about 2-3 errors on the tiles. This is a simple powershell script to re-register some apps so that they can run again. This worked to fix my app store app and setting, but only that apps. The app update is still not working.
I have another windows live ID, and when I log in with that Id, all my apps works normally! I am out of sorts now.

1. Windows 8 PRO 64 bit recently.
2. My Apps stopped working and all recovery efforts failed to get them working again.
3. Ran several malware and anti-virus programs and still no way to get my Apps working again.
4. I click on an App and the display just returns to the start display.
5. So, I had to reinstall Windows 8 from scratch since none of the "RESTORE" listing would restore.
6. I had not made a "recovery drive" so that was not an option.

I set up my 8.1 installation, played with all the apps, got used to how M$ wants the future to be...and this morning when I turned my PC on, it said it was installing some updates. No biggie.
Now today I am having a bad time with some of the Apps. Skype for example(though this seems to be a known issue?) loads for about 4 seconds then CTS(CrashToStart). Photos will let me look around for about ten seconds, then CTS. Reading List, CTS soon as it looks loaded.
I have tried re-installing the apps, to no avail. or a hotfix will be released, because a refresh would be a sucky option just for it to break again.

I somehow can't acces the standard Windows 8 apps anymore.
Apps like Camera, Maps, News, World clock. I can acces the App Store however...
Few days ago I made a account to test something and I noticed the apps were just running as they should be.
So I think I somehow changed a setting on my normal account that I can't use these apps anymore.

Maybe a very few of you have read my topic on Vistaforums. I have "only" 5 operating systems on PC.
XPSP3
Vista SP2 x64
7 SP1 x64
8 Pro x64
Ubuntu 12.10
After Microsoft released the 8.1, I knew that the time of Windows 8 is gone. If the PC is better than a Pentium D it does not worth bothering with it. But I installed this 8 in May, becuse there was no working bootloader on my PC, and that was the easiest way to have one. Also it turned out that Metro isn't that bad, it's fast and good. Also D3D optimizations like for BF4.
But Windows 8 won't get IE11, cannot run Asphalt8, no further support, etc...
So I would like to do the upgrade. So the question is, a new install with Windows 8.1, and having 6 OS's, or formatting Windows 8 partition and installing 8.1?
XP is necessary for a huge load of apps from the early 2000's, it's the only 32bit OS on my pc, and some hardware only supports this or older OS's.
Vista: backup OS, if I mess up everything, and native DX10.0
7: daily usage, mostly supported with drives for todays phone flashing
8: FAST, so I use it a lot.
But there are incompatibilities. Some phone flashers won't work on 8, and some games are glitchy too (today's discovery is PoP Sands of Time). So I wouldn't delete XP and 7 for any money.
So, is it necessary to keep Windows 8? Is there anything that works only on 8 (like DX10 was on vista)? Because if there is an app, that doesn't work on 8.1, but runs well on 7 and 8, I won't keep Windows 8.
write a comment with the name of the application, and I will decide. Currently, I'm planning to delete Windows 8 and install 8.1 if I will have time.

For no reason, all my apps on win 8.1 won't open. They open for a few seconds, then dissapear, leaving me back at my desktop. I have done all updates and whatnot, but to no avail.

I installed it two days ago, selecting my currencies. When I run it, it shows "refreshing" and then says "unable to update rates - come back later". It hasn't given any currency rates since I installed it. Uninstalled/reinstalled with the same results.

Running Windows 8.1 and apps are not working. They were perfectly fine this morning, then later today, every one of them, except like two that I know of, IE and the Store. Other than that, music, Facebook, twitter, dropbox, etc. they're not working.
I've refreshed my Windows 8, didn't fix it. I've also done sfc /scannow and it found nothing wrong.

So I have "Automatically update my apps" enabled, but pressed the "Check for updates" button to check if it is working correctly, and noticed there was a Bing Weather update available! I've gone ahead and installed it manually, and sure enough the version I had: .258 has been updated to .309. Why this app was not automatically updated?
By the way, I'm not using a metered internet connection.
(Later edit) Great, I've just checked again and there is a Bing News update available now! No automatic update happening, and also no number 1 visible on the Store app live tile, despite the fact that there is clearly one update available!
Curious that they were both Bing apps though. Maybe it's a Bing thing.

I was unpinning many apps from my start screen. Now when I try to run an app (such as Computer, or Control Panel) it creates an entry on the desktop taskbar, but not on the desktop.
I can't run anything on this Windows 8.0 desktop, except for IE. The only thing I can do with the taskbar icon is close the window.

I've used Keytweak in the past with Win7. Now I find it's not working as expected in Windows 8. Changes are not being adopted by the registry and at reboot the app does not reflect the key remap change. Is there a trick to get this utility behaving as expected?

Or is there another newer utility that will work?

When I want to install an app from the Windows Store, I get a message with error code: 0x80070032. I have tried everything I could find on the internet to solve this, but nothing works.
I have a brandnew HP Pavilion laptop, on which Windows 8 was pre-installed.

I have a lenovo laptop that came with Windows 8 x64.
I used ProduKey to extract the license key of my Windows 8 x64.
I downloaded a Windows 8.1 x64 ISO and tried to do a clean install of Windows 8.1 using a USB. It asked me for a key, so I put in the key that was extracted. It said the key was in valid.
I also went to this website, Upgrade Windows with only a product key - Microsoft Windows Support, and tried to use the key for both Windows 8 and 8.1, but both of them didn't work.
I booted the USB in legacy mode (NOT UEFI mode)

I've noticed that Skydrive live tile does not work after upgrading to 8.1.
Prior to 8.1, Skydrive was live, that is it would display the contents of your folder, especially photos. Now, after 8.1, it doesn't work.
So skydrive live tile not working under 8.1?

I installed Classic Shell on my Windows 8.1 laptop and i kinda didn't like it too much so i uninstalled it. But it hasn't uninstalled completely, when i try running setup again, and choosing the 'remove' option it doesn't uninstall! Anyways, that isn't really the problem, the thing is, when i press 'ctrl alt del', it doesn't go to task manager, i tried right clicking on the start icon and clicking on task manager but that didn't work either, so i had to go to start menu and search for task manager and then finally it came up.
I'm wondering if there is any correlation between classic shell and 'ctrl al del' not working, any way of getting it to work again.

Since a few weeks for some reason I cannot access some programs (like MS Word), it just says that "the operating system is not presently configured to run this application". It doesn't show up as a registry item either same as some other programs.
Now my problem is that I cannot install a new version, nor openoffice, or anything else for that matter that uses windows installer.
I've checked if the service and subservice was running and they were, I've tried SFC /scannow and Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth but they both didn't fix the problem ( did fix some corruptions though).
What happens with the installer is basically it doesn't do anything. It just sits at initializing forever and doesn't install anything at all. Currently cannot install any programs but don't want to reinstall windows since I have a lot of programs and settings I don't want to lose.

I have been happily using Windows 8, until today. Out of nowhere I cannot install/update anything (I always get "windows installer has stopped working error", I cannot run any metro apps (they simply crash), and windows itself seems unstable. Is there any other solution, other than formatting harddrive and re-installing everything?

I don't appear to be able to get videos working direct from 8.1 metro apps.
If I run videos/live streaming from within my browser everything works fine but from within metro, all I get is purple coloured dots going across the screen. I would assume that this could be a buffering issue but I might be wrong?
All add-ons - flash/java & silverlight as far as I can tell are up-to-date. The most likely problems are:
1. slow broadband (2 to 3 mbps) but from within the desktop, youtube etc works without any buffering issues.
2. I have Avast installed and I did read about problems with TV-Catch Up and I did read about the anti-virus plug in causing sites not to work. I have disabled it from within Firefox but TvCatchUp works whether its on or off from within the desktop browser but no luck direct from the app.
Everything worked fine from within Win 8 apps but not 8.1!

I have Windows 8.1 installed on VM Player and never had a problem. Now, for some odd reason the App Store keeps telling me there's a connection problem and won't open.... it's acting as though there is no internet connection, which of course there is as I can access the internet and other live tiles, just not the app store. And I know the apps store is up and running because on my Windows 8 (not 8.1) laptop, the store opens just fine.
Is there a current issue going on with the apps store and 8.1?
now the other weird it's not bringing up apps, but now, when you click on them, you still get the apps store isn't working
