where to download a working driver?

Post by ansorg »

hello,

finally it happened - I had to wipe my windows installation and reinstall everything from scratch. Now I cannot find my original trackIR software CD anymore :(

So I went the the website and to the download section: here I get a "TrackIR_4.1.030.Final.B" offered. I downloaded this but it does not work:

Setup starts but I get an error:

Internal Failure
Error number: 0x800040707
Description:

Then the setup continues but comes up with empty licence agreement, weird default install location and if I point to a proper folder on my HD I get

Unhandled Exception
Error Number: 0x80040705
Description: String accessed out of bounds

and Setup quits.

I found a link to "TrackIR_4.1.028.Final.exe" in the other thread but this does exactly the same :(

please, I need a working driver installation for
TrackIR 4 Pro, WindowsXP Pro SP2


thank you

Answered in email....

You may occasionally come across a Windows error message with the code 0x80040707, and you'll probably find very little documentation on how to handle it. You'll often encounter this error when you're running an installation or upgrade routine from within Windows.
Solution
If you're getting this error message as part of an installation or upgrade routine, here's one of the easiest ways to circumvent the problem:
1. Go to the directory that holds the file for launching the installation (for example, Setup.exe).
2. Right-click on the installation file and select Run As.
3. Uncheck the box that says Protect My Computer And Data From Unauthorized Activity, and click OK.
Alternatively, if you're running this installation from a CD, you may need to simply clean the CD and try the installation again. Another possibility for resolving this error is to run Windows Update on the system before running the installation routine.
If none of those solutions work, try these two links, which provide additional information on the error and ways to overcome it:
