Problems with Installation after a desinstallation

[jesortsan]

Hello,

half and a month ago, I order the evaluation board EVB9S08DZ60 for MC9S08DZ60 microcontroller. Until the shipping came, I downloaded and installed the CodeWarrior Special Edition v 5.1. for HC(S)08 in order to knowing the application. After that, I registered the product and all worked perfectly until last wednesday.

Due to the problems I had last wednesday, I decided to uninstall the CodeWarrior, wich I downloaded from the website, and install the CodeWarrior that came in a CD with the EVB9S08DZ60. Both are the same version and edition, but I thought that perhaps it would be a possible solution.

I have uninstalled the downloaded CodeWarrior and when I' go to install the new CodeWarrior, a lot of error messages appear with the text "Internal error 2908", and several letters below.

I don't know what is the problem, can you help me please?

Thanks

Hi, Tom, I'm sorry but I didn't save the license.dat file.

Hi, Curt, I've tried to install the first CodeWarrior (wich I downloaded from the web) too and it doesn't work either.

Thanks

Asking google for "Internal error 2908" turns out that a lot of apps have this problems for some users, including MS applications like MS Office.
So it looks like on your PC, the MS installer service has a problem when installing CW V5.1 :smileysad:.
Things you could do:
- try to install it as different user. If this is due to a per user registry setting, this may help. I remember another user where this did actually help in his setup (not sure if the same problem)
- google a bit for "Internal error 2908"
- collect more info. Which app is showing "Internal error 2908"
- I guess you get actually more info than just "Internal error 2908", or? Normally the content of windows error messages can be copies to a text file with pressing Ctrl-C
(there is no indication in any UI that this is possible, so one has to know).
- advanced: there are some apps out to collect the information about what is beeing used.
So you can collect with

all files and registry entries an application accesses. But this will create a lot of data, so try the other things first.

Hi jesortsan.

I have had a similar (not identical) experience.  Have you/can you try downloading the software again?  The CD that came with my DK was old and did not include a number of critical patches that were in the download version. 

I am new to Freescale, so not a reliable helper.  You will get help here though, from many nice people.  Be patient!   We will watch and learn.

Cheers,

Curt

When you did your de-installation, did you save your license.dat file?
