Software Installation Trouble

Software Installation Trouble. 


You have purchased a new video game for your home computer. Upon inserting the installation disc, however nothing appears to happen on your computer. What is your next step?






As of now "Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled" is applicable only for win 7 and 8/8.1.



Since 'Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled' does not apply to Windows 10, you may want to install the program in compatibility mode and check if that installs.
a. Right click the driver installation file and select Properties then tap or click the Compatibility tab.
b. Place a check in the Run this program in compatibility mode for: box.
c. Tap or click the drop down box and select a previous operating system, then tap or click OK.
d. Try installing the driver and check.


Initially, it may be suggested to Disable Anti-virus software and check.
The issue may also arise due to the security software installed in your system. So, I would suggest you to disable the anti-virus installed on your system and check if the issue persists.
Disclaimer: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
