Logitech SetPoint installation

[HyperL]

I have a Cordless Logitech Mouse and I need SetPoint 4.70 installed in order to be able to set my buttons. The problem is that I am unable to get it installed, I tried the compatibility wizard and set it on Windows Vista, Xp SP2 and still no luck. I get the following error message:

Setpoint4.70 is for XP/Vista.
I cannot find a Logitech driver for Win7.
Mine is MS and they do one, but that doesn't help you.
Although the default Windows (7) driver should work for basic mousing/keying.

Setpoint

Can't remember exactly how I installed, i.e. whether it was in compatibility mode or just a straight install but as you can see from my screen shots I have it installed. Two points, it is the UK version, I think, and I am running on x64 which might help in some way.

Ummm

I seem to remember that error message. Try downloading the software again making sure you have the right version x64/x86 and re-install. I have it working on 2 machines, my HTPC and my 'business' PC so it should be OK.

I downloaded 4.7 and it installed fine but I think people were having problems with it not saving game settings within mouseware and not being able to have it remember setpoint implementation so people were going back to 4.6. Not sure if they resloved the problems with 4.7 yet.

I just used the disc with mine and installed it with compatibility mode for Vista, all works fine.

4.70.231 running ok here with my cordless mouse and Wave keyboard.

 

[HyperL]

Ok, this is strange...I tried everything, re-download, run in compatibility mode, force install...and still nothing, I even tried version 4.6 and it still says that some components are unable to install and I get the "Send/Don't Send" screen. I am starting to think that is something wrong with my Microsoft Installer because I got a similar error trying to uninstall KAV Win7 edition...Does anybody knows a way to repair the Microsoft Installer Pack?

I've got 4.7.213 and it installed okay. The only thing is I only see a generic gray mouse instead of my MX510, even though it shows up in the dropdown menu correctly.

Piro, are you on 32bit or 64bit?

Setpoint works for me now. Think it was this that solved the problem:

And I used run as administrator and compibility mode. Dont think that was the problem because from what I can remeber I had already tested with those settings before.

 

[vitrify]

Isakii!!!! You're my Hero! Works perfectly after I followed that guide =)

 

[Piro21]

32 bit. I just downloaded the Vista version through the page linked on wikipedia.

 

[HyperL]

I managed to install SetPoint after I fixed the MSI package problem...It installed without any compatibility option activated. Whoever got that installation problem refer to http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/2349-windows-installer-cant-install-any-msi-package-4.html

Hmm - I missed this thread yesterday - else I would have told you that if you don't use Vista compatibility then you get prompted that this version of SetPoint was written for a previous OS, do you want to continue... message, whereas with the compatibility on you never get that message.

However, I can also say that SetPoint x64 installed perfectly here on this machine and SetPoint 32 installed perfectly on my laptop.

Vista 32 /SetPoint 470

Tried Compatibility wizard, Admin mode, and Anti-Virus disabled... still would not install. It stops as it begins to install drivers.

I'm running Vista 32 and Setpoint 470

Please help!

Just installed version 5.0a running compatiblity mode for Vista and running as admin;
No issues so far with my G9 or software....4.7 wouldnt detect my G9 though

 

[johngalt]

That's b/c the G9 has it's own version of Setpoint that only it could use - the 5 series.

The 4 series is for *non* G-series mice - and that is why over at Logitech forums, under mice, they have separate forums for mice and G-series.

 

[jonfun]

My apologies

 

[johngalt]

No apologies needed - that is a frequent question on the Logitech forums as well.

The problem erupts with programs like DriverMax, which only lists the latest available version of a driver, not the latest *applicable* version of a driver - thus, a lot of folks erroneously install SP5 when they need SP4.x or vice versa.
