Nvidia System Tools v6.06 will not install on Win7 64bit.

Nvidia System Tools v6.06 will not install on Win7 64bit.

I can install "Nvidia Update" and "Nvidia Monitor" but NOT "Nvidia Performance"I currently have latest nvidia drivers v258.96 (Laptop see below)
Error I received during installation:

Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.
C:\Windows\Installer\{7C7F30F4-94E7-4AA8-8941-90C4A80C68BF}\1049.MST

 

Pretty sure the only resolution is to delete some registry files, unless someone has come up with a better way. Happened to me once. I'll see if I can find the post or site where I got the fix from and post it here.


*Edit* Here is the post....some helpful tips in there overall. Like I said, there may be a better way now, but this will definitely work.

Thanks it may be related, I'll try it tonight!

 

That is definitely the problem and will involve registry modification.

 

I did step by step
Steps-

1.
Uninstall video drivers
Reboot in Safe Mode

2.
Delete these folders:
C:\Users\*User Name*\AppData\Local\Nvidia Corporation
C:\NVIDIA\SystemTools
C:\Program Files (x86)\Nvidia Corporation

3.
- In the start menu, run regedit from the Start Menu
- Perform a search for ntune and delete all entries; run a search for nvidia, delete all associated with System Tools.
- Open CCleaner -> Tools -> Uninstall; Highlight Nvidia Performance, select Delete Entry

4.
- Run Driver Cleaner Pro / Driver Sweeper
- Via CCleaner, scan the registry for errors; fix

5.
Restart. GPU driver and Nvidia System Tools should now install with no issue.

Same problem... any other advise?

 

I neved used this before as I thought it was just for the desktop.

 

When I first did those steps, I also found I still had the same problem. Initially I was getting the exact same error message that you posted. Then I went back into the Registry and did another search and found that I had missed a few entries. The Nvidia System Tools program appears to check every single related Registry key to make sure it is not already installed and if it finds any, even one I think it stops working. Do another thorough Registry search for both keys.

 

I fix it.
original error was:
Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.
C:\Windows\Installer\{7C7F30F4-94E7-4AA8-8941-90C4A80C68BF}\1049.MST

so I did search in regedit:
{7C7F30F4-94E7-4AA8-8941-90C4A80C68BF}
and
7C7F30F4-94E7-4AA8-8941-90C4A80C68BF

and I also check/search and uncheck/search "Match whole string only"

Once I deleted this "Strings" - I was able to install Nvidia Performance!

Thank you all!!!

 

I have win 7 hp 64bit and installed it without any problem - I'm using the 2.6 beta driver for gt 330m card - not sure if this has any bearing.

 

I just installed it it my 64bit with no problem and enjoying the overclocked GPU. You must check the registries as told ^.
