Cannot install nTune?

Help me please! I cannot install nTune on my laptop and RivaTuner will not work for the GTS 360M. Whenever I try installing NVIDIA System Performance (nTune), the installer will extract the .msi, the .dlls and then get stuck with this message: Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel. {7C7F30F4-94E7-4AA8-8941-90C4A80C68BF}.

I've tried uninstalling NVIDIA drivers, booting up in safe mode and using Driver Sweeper, removing all registry entries of nTune and System Performance, using CCleaner to fix all Registry errors but this problem still stubbornly refuses to go away. Does anyone have any advice?

 

Man, you find a way, please post the answer. I had it happen once before and was able to correct the issue, but not this time...just can't remember what I did or where I found the answer. I know it has to do with clearing some registry entries, but that's all I recall.

 

The following post details the steps that allowed me to fix a similar problem twice.

If you don't remove the registry entries thoroughly, the installer will pick those entries up and think that it has already been installed.

 

Yes, I did the exact same steps on the post but it still doesn't work.

 

Bumping. Please help. BTW, is it possible to mod RivaTuner to support the GTS 360M?

 

nTune?!? That's so old! Try the NVIDIA System Tools v6.02. And make sure you have updated your drivers.

 

Not as new as 6.05!

 

True, but I've had MUCH less issues with 6.02 than 6.05 for some reason.

 

Yes. I tried installing NVIDIA System Tools and it gave this error. Both nTune and System Tools gave the same error. Isn't System Tools just a comprehensive package which includes nTune, renamed as System Performance?

 

It's more than just renamed, it's much more improved. Have you tried completely cleaning out your NVIDIA drivers then doing a fresh install with the System Tools installed immediately after the display drivers? And are you doing this on a clean Win7 install or is this still the OEM image?

 

It is on a OEM image. Yes, I have tried completely cleaning out the drivers.
I can't format the hdd and restore because I do not have a recovery disk and pressing F9 (which is supposed to make the laptop boot into the recovery partition) doesn't work.

 

I'd say that's the problem.

 

How do you get to the Recovery Partition then?

 

Make recovery disks... I used to have problems with system tools 6.05 but i did a clean install and no problems now. Try uinstalling all drivers and use drive sweeper in safe mode to get rid off everything. then reinstall the drivers and system tools 6.05.

 

You could try a clean install, but when you re-install Windows 7, just don't delete the recovery partition. Just reformat on the current partition that has Windows 7 installed. When you go to install Windows 7 it'll show you all the partitions available, and you can leave the recovery one. If you want to get into it now, right click on my computer and select "Manage", then go to storage, then Disk Management, then once in the Disk Manager look and see what the drive letter is for your recovery partition, then in the address bar of an explorer window type that in and you can get whatever you need off of it.
