Windows 10 you suck terribly. Every freaking program I purchase I am always unable to install it. I always get some sort of installation error. I run it by right clicking run as administarator and still get the errors. It never fails, I always have to end up calling customer support and they have to use team viewer to take over my computer and change a whole bunch of things for it to install. I have no profiles on the computer. Why can't I just double click the install file and it install? ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

What software are you talking about? I upgraded all my laptops last year and I don't think I've installed anything except Norton Security since then, which gave me no trouble. All my programs that I use regularly were installed before the upgrade. | |||

What are your computer hardware specs? What programs are you trying to install? Have you checked for updates/upgrades for Win10, and your applications? Exactly, what are the errors you are getting? What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? Well, maybe not that last one. H&K-Guy | |||

Starting about, oh, six months ago or so, my employer (at the time) started upgrading everybody to MS-Win10. I refused to have anything to do with it. Gave my colleague nothing but grief from Day 1. Including occasionally refusing to install or run software for no apparent reason. He disliked MS-Win when he came on board. He hated it after a few months dealing with it in a business environment. He utterly detests it after MS-Win 10. One of the benefits of retiring is I'll likely never have to touch an MS-Win PC again  "America is at that awkward stage.

That was a benefit I acquired in 2007, and never looked back. My wife runs Windows, but she is capable enough to take care of her own, or otherwise sell in on eBay. | |||

I don't understand. I have a mature desktop PC and an almost-as-old laptop. Both upgraded to Win10. Both do everything fine. What am I doing wrong? | |||

Quit staring at my wife's Butt |
I don't really think it's windows 10 but something else causing these errors, I load lots of different programs on mine and haven't experienced these issue. Knock on wood | |||

Who knows? I have encountered problems with software that is not compatible with the latest Windows updates. I also run into compatibility issues with certain sites that will not run Google Chrome and must use Internet Explorer. Maybe it is the LEO software. | |||

I have an AMD8 I think 2.5ghz Quadcore 16 gigs of RAM The programs I tried to install were Adobe Photoshop Elements. Been a while so I don't recall the error but had to call Adobe they remoted into my machine and had to do a bunch of wackadoo stuff to get it to load. Adobe ActiveX plugin never gave me an error always said install was successful for the webpage I was trying to use for a P2P camera viewer for Amcrest would always tell me I had to download and install even after the install successful icon popped up. Amcrest had to remote in and do a bunch of wackadoo things in both internet explorer and Firefox settings. Same with their proprietary ip camera software. And most currently with Milestone Xprotect Essentials+ I get some error about the IIS package can not be unpackaged automatically and must be manually installed before installation. I have no clue what an IIS package is. Have not had a chance to call tech support on this yet. I miss the days of just double clicking the installer and it just installing. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have.

Where are you trying to install them. Try installing them in the .x86 directory. | |||

I've read that the Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 from the Microsoft Store has had installation issues but that was an Adobe problem, not a Microsoft problem. I have only ever installed a free Backgammon game from the store. That's my only experience with the UWP apps that are in the store. | |||

Yeah, it is always the OS's fault that third party vendors can't build a program correctly.  | |||

Black - I can appreciate the frustration. I have to agree with the others that it isn't a Windows 10 issue, but an Adobe issue.
Last year Adobe really ticked me off... My daughter (a 3rd year college student) had to install some of their software. Her laptop has a 256G SSD that has the OS and a regular hard drive for her programs and data. Adobe's install program would NOT install on any drive other than C. It made assumptions on where the temporary files reside and there was no way to change the behavior. After running into the issue, she contacted their support (which was less than helpful) I Googled the issue and found that it had been a well known issue for more than 2 years. | |||

Internet Information Services (IIS) is MS's web server. It usually is not installed by default when you install the OS. It should be available via "Turn Windows features on or off". | |||

Except my colleague ran into similar issues with other software--including, believe-it-or-not, MS-Office, IIRC. But, Adobe... yeah... that's another software maker I won't miss. They used to be good.

As you know the WHOLE IT world is about dealing with problems. The origin can be literally anything. Some make sense, some don't ~ you still have to deal with them. I'm well past the complain and blame stage as it is pointless. YMMV | |||

Both my PC and laptop came pre-loaded with win10 and I haven't had any issues with adding programs. I've heard of nightmares with win10 upgrades from win7, win8 and Vista but not the equipment pre-loaded with win10. It took awhile to get used to it but it has been very stable for me.
