The reasons why programs are not installed and launched. The program is not installed: reasons and solutions to possible problems Downloaded programs are not installed

The program is not installed - such a problem, alas, is a common thing for the Windows operating system. Every more or less experienced computer user has probably encountered errors that prevent the process of installing programs into the system. Below we will consider the most common errors when installing Windows programs, and also talk about ways to eliminate these errors.

The computer does not meet the minimum program requirements.

Damage to the program installer can occur when it is disinfected with an antivirus or due to a failure to download a file from the Internet. Initially damaged installation files of programs can be posted on the network. This can often be seen on third-party web resources, where content is presented not by software developers, but by repack collectors or ordinary users - for example, on torrent trackers, soft portals, sharing sites, etc.

If the program does not install due to a corrupted installer, it may be possible to fix the problem by downloading it in a new way. If the installer turns out to be defective even after reloading, you need to look for another source to download the program. And it is desirable that this be the official website of the developer.

When downloading files not from the official websites of developers, it will not be superfluous to read the comments of other users on the download page. If a damaged installer is uploaded or, possibly, a malicious code is supplied with the program, users who have previously downloaded the program can warn about this.

Having successfully installed on one version of Windows, the same program may not want to work with another version of the system. This often happens with software products that are no longer supported by developers and cannot be installed on newer versions of Windows. Windows 8 and 8.1 even have a compatibility mode, which is designed for the correct operation of old programs, but it will not be able to help in the process of installing rare software in any way. In this case, you can search for a more recent version of the program or its portable version.

Sometimes the source of the problem can be a pirated build of Windows with reduced system functionality. Many users download pirated Windows builds for free, without even suspecting that they can also download and install a trial version of Windows 8.1 from Microsoft's website for free (and quite legally), which is offered by the software giant for 90-day testing.

Not all, but some programs have separate versions for working with 64-bit Windows. By default, the installer of any program, as a rule, is designed for a 32-bit operating system and should be installed on a 64-bit operating system without any problems (to the C: \ Program Files (x86) folder). But a program designed specifically for 64-bit Windows will not be able to work in 32-bit. When downloading programs, you need to pay attention to the bitness of Windows, if, of course, such data is available.

Lack of administrator rights is one of the reasons for the impossibility of installing software if the work on the computer is carried out with a user account with limited rights, which exclude the installation of software and making changes to the system.

Microsoft NET Framework is a software platform that is designed to ensure the compatibility of software written in different programming languages, and it has different versions. Windows 8.1, for example, comes with NET Framework 4.5.1 initially, and Windows 7 comes preinstalled with 3.5.1. To install certain programs, you need a specific version of the NET Framework, and you need to install it additionally. Particularly caring software developers in the installation package of the program can provide an installer for the required version of the NET Framework. But even if such concern for the user was not shown, you can simply run the installer of the program, and Windows itself will determine which version of the NET Framework it needs, download and install it itself. The required version of this software platform can always be manually downloaded for free on the Microsoft website.

You can find out what version of NET Framework is currently on your computer in the Programs and Features section of Control Panel.

The task of the Microsoft Visual C ++ software platform is to provide installation and operation in Windows of programs written in the C ++ programming language. More often, this component is automatically installed on the system along with the programs and games that need it. In some individual cases, the required version of Visual C ++ can be manually downloaded for free from the Microsoft website and installed on your computer.

You can view data on the availability of Visual C ++ in the usual list of programs installed on the system.

Another software platform that is needed mostly for games is DirectX. And here the version of this component will also matter, which, again, ideally should come with the distribution of games and programs. If necessary, DirectX from the Microsoft website can be downloaded for free.

You can find out whether the DirectX software platform is installed on the computer, and if so, what version of it is, you can enter the command “DXDIAG” in the field of the standard utility “Run” and press Enter.

In most cases, programs do not matter where they are installed. They can be located both on the system C drive and on any of the non-system partitions. But there is a separate category of programs that can work only on the system disk, only in a certain directory. As a rule, these are:

or "C: \ Program Files";
or "C: \ Program Files (x86)" for 64-bit systems;
or "C: \ Username \ AppData \ Local".

In this case, there is no choice but to accept the rules of the game of the developer of the program. If the program is already installed, but does not want to start, it is better to uninstall and reinstall it.

DLL-libraries (files with the extension ".dll") are dynamic libraries that provide certain functions in the process of running programs. Their absence is rather an exception to the rule, and this may be due to the use of pirated Windows assemblies. If necessary, the missing DLL library can be manually found on the Internet and placed in the desired directory on the computer. But there is an easier way to solve the problem - automating this process using the DLL Suite program, which scans the system for missing or damaged ".dll" files, downloads them on the Internet, and puts them in the right place on the computer.

The installation of the program on the computer can be prevented by antivirus, which considered the executable file suspicious. And in the case of the Avast antivirus, which by default provides for the isolation of suspicious files, the installer of the program will have to be released from quarantine. The Windows SmartScreen system protection filter can also block the installation process.

Such a reaction of the antivirus and the system should not necessarily indicate that the program being installed poses a threat to the computer. In some cases, neither the antivirus nor Windows itself has any information about the program's developer. Such programs do not have the benefit of the doubt and are automatically classified as dangerous. Both antivirus and Windows itself can block the installation in cases where it is a repackaged or cracked assembly of a paid program.

If the program has been tested, it is necessary to disable the antivirus for a while so that it does not interfere with the installation. If Windows SmartScreen responded, click "More", and in the list of actions that opens - "Run anyway".

It may be that the program does not want to be installed due to the lack of drivers in the system for the necessary components and external devices of the computer. For example, if the program is designed to work with some kind of external device - a camera, printer, scanner, etc., without the presence of a corresponding driver in the system, these devices will not be detected by the software intended for them. In some cases, installation of programs may be impossible due to outdated drivers. To solve problems with drivers and their current versions, a special type of software is intended - driver managers who scan the system, select and install drivers in automatic mode. These include Carambis Driver Updater, DriverPack Solution, Driver Easy, DriverMax, Advanced Driver Updater, Slim Drivers.

Computer specifications do not meet the minimum program requirements

Today, you can still find in everyday life rare computers with outdated components, with which this or that software may not want to work. But almost all modern computer devices, including low-power budget assemblies, can work with most programs written for Windows. But with modern games, the situation is somewhat different. Not every resource-intensive game will work with an office graphics card or an outdated model, with a single-core or insufficiently powerful processor, with less than 2 GB of RAM.

Some video editors, programs for modeling in 3D, professional software for architectural and construction design, etc. are capricious to the capabilities of the computer.

In this case, you cannot do without upgrading your computer.

Yandex Browser is becoming more and more popular, bypassing other web browsers in terms of the number of installations. Stylish and modern interface, combined with high speed of work and unique functions, attracts more and more users who want to change their usual Internet explorer to a more interesting one. Unfortunately, some of them may encounter an unpleasant situation: Yandex Browser cannot be installed.

Often this problem does not have any serious reasons:

Low internet speed;
Errors when uninstalling the previous version of the web browser;
Full hard drive;
Viral activity.

All this can be easily eliminated and the installation of Yandex Browser can be repeated.

Bad internet connection

The poor quality of the network connection can indeed be the reason why Yandex Browser cannot be installed. Usually we download the installation files of certain programs, and then we can install them even without an Internet connection. In the case of some web browsers, the situation is a little different: from the developer's site (in our case, Yandex Browser), the user downloads a small file, which is perceived by many as an installation file. In fact, when launched, it sends a request to Yandex servers to download the latest stable version of the program to your PC. Accordingly, at low Internet speed, the download process can be extended or even interrupted.

In this case, there are two options for solving the problem: wait until the Internet speed improves, or download an offline installer. If you decide to use the second method, then you should know - the browser installation file, which does not require a network connection, weighs more than the file mentioned above. However, it can be run on all computers where there is no network connection, and the browser will still be installed.

Incorrect deletion of the previous version of the browser

Perhaps you have previously used Yandex Browser and subsequently uninstalled it, but you did it wrong. Because of this, the new version refuses to install over the old one. In this case, you need to completely remove the program using special software.

If you have enough skills, you can independently clean the system of files and folders created by the browser in different directories.

The main folder is located here:

C: \ Users \ USER_NAME \ AppData \ Local \ Yandex \ YandexBrowser

Be careful when deleting a custom folder User Data all your data will be lost: bookmarks, settings, passwords and other information.

Additional folders are located at the following addresses:

C: \ Users \ USER_NAME \ AppData \ LocalLow \ Yandex
C: \ Users \ USER_NAME \ AppData \ Roaming \ Yandex
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Yandex
C: \ Program Files \ Yandex

This is usually enough to install a new version of the browser. As a last resort, you can delete the registry settings related to Yandex Browser. We do not recommend editing the registry for inexperienced PC users and we recommend exporting it before making changes.

Low hard disk space

Perhaps the browser cannot install for such a simple reason as lack of space. The solution to this problem is as simple as possible - go to " Add and remove programs"And get rid of unnecessary software.

Also, go through all the folders in use and delete unnecessary files, for example, watched movies, downloaded files from torrents, etc.

Viruses

Sometimes a virus that has infected a computer prevents some or all of the programs from being installed. Run an antivirus scan or use the Dr.Web CureIt utility to check the system and remove dangerous and malicious software.

These were all the main reasons why Yandex Browser cannot install on your PC. If these tips did not help you, then write in the comments the specific problem you encountered, and we will try to help.

Starting to work with a computer, users may face a situation when the necessary programs do not start or are not installed at all. In this case, there is no need to contact the service center, but you need to figure out why the programs are not installed and how to fix these problems.

Below are the most common causes of software installation problems.

Possible problems

So, there are several reasons for this problem. Let's take a look at everything in order.

Administrator rights

This reason is the most common, since only the owner of these rights can edit any system files, including installing programs. To obtain the rights, go to the "Start" → "Run" menu and register cmd. Next, right-click on the file and select "Run as administrator". In the command line, write net user Administrator / active: yes and press Enter. After restarting the system, you will be able to install the required program.

Incorrect installation file

If the program is not installed or the installation is interrupted, then you need to check the installation file. You can download it again.

Antivirus

Sometimes antivirus can block the installation of programs and applications. To do this, you need to view all messages of the antivirus - it is possible that the program contains malicious code.

Lack of disk space

Programs may also fail to install because the installation disk is full. You need to clean it and make room for installation.

Compatibility of programs

There are times when the program is not installed due to incompatibility with the operating system. You can solve this problem in the following way:

Right-click on the program icon and select "Properties".
Select the "Compatibility" tab, check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select the required operating system.
This will start the compatibility process, as a result of which you can install the program.

If you cannot install a new game, read about it in the article

Instructions

The main source of problems while installing games is software incompatibility or outdated ones. Unfortunately, not all games are equipped with the correct warning notes about the possible causes of the problem. In particular, fresh foreign versions very often simply refuse to be installed or run for a reason or incorrect (for example, that the alleged game already installed).

The problem of incompatibility is fixed, as a rule, by installing and updating the software. If Windows XP is installed, some modern games require Service Pack 3 to work correctly. You should also update the drivers and install the latest version of DirectX.

However, a conflict may arise over the version of the game. It is likely that such a long time ago already the fans noticed and found a remedy. Usually such a tool is some kind of add-on, patch, etc. You should look for such things on dedicated games or on large portals, where there are quite a lot of various kinds of add-ons (for example, http://www.playground.ru). As a rule, a detailed one is attached to the decision.

A conflict may arise due to the fact that the game was previously already was installed but then incorrectly uninstalled or the installation was aborted in the process. It is likely that it was registered in the registry and that some files were saved in the system. Therefore the system that the game is supposedly installed. If no decisions were made (i.e., some part of the files were not manually deleted), you can try to search the game in "Installing and Removing Programs". It is located at: Start - Control Panel - Add or Remove Programs. There you should look the game... If it is located there, then it is necessary. If it is not there, then you should clean the system from unnecessary files using special utilities (for example, CCleaner). After such a cleaning of the system, unnecessary files must be deleted and, accordingly, the game should be installed.

It is customary to name a file containing a virtual copy of a physical disk with the extension * .cue, * .iso, * .mds, * .mdf, * .ccd, * .nrg or * .btw as a disk image. Virtual ramdisk implies the presence of a virtual drive designed to work with the selected file.

You will need

- Daemon Tools;
- Alcohol 120%

Instructions

Locate the folder containing the image of the selected disk and launch it when recognized file system, double click of the mouse.

Download and install the Daemon Tools disk emulation program on your computer. The program exists in two versions: paid Pro and free Lite. For the needs of the average user, the free version available for free download on the Internet is quite sufficient.

Call the context menu of the installed application by right-clicking on the icon with a lightning bolt in the notification area, located in the lower right part of the monitor screen, and select the "Emulation" item.

Select All Options ON and navigate to Virtual CD / DVD ROM.

Select "Drive 0: Empty" and select the disk image to open in the new "Select Image" dialog box.

Press the "Open" button to confirm the execution of the command and go to the main menu of the "Start" system.

Expand the My Computer node and select the created virtual disk.

Find the required file (in most cases - AutoRun or Setup) and start the installation of the game.

Download and install the Alcohol 120% application on your computer.

Run the program and go to the "Settings" item.

Specify the number of drives required in the "Number of virtual disks" field and apply the checkboxes in the "Remount images at system reboot" and "Mount image on Device 0 by double-clicking" checkboxes.

Click OK to confirm the command and drag the disk image to the Alcohol 120% application window.

Call the context menu of the created object by clicking the right mouse button and select the "Mount to device" command. This action will cause the desired game to be automatically installed.
