Hey guys,
I've recently switched from AMD to Nvidia. I completely uninstalled all AMD drivers (and removed all traces from the registry or hidden folders manually). I installed the latest Nvidia beta, and everything else successfully installed, but Updates Components 7.2.17 failed and Gefore Experience couldn't install (because of it). Then I used the same uninstall method on these drivers, and tried again. Same thing. So then I downloaded the Geforce Experience setup by itself and tried installing it. It fails in seconds saying the same thing. Update components failed, and Geforce experience can't install. I'm not sure what the problem is. This seems like a very common issue (I've seen many threads on this) but I can't seem to find a fix.
For example, a possible reason as to why this is failing is because Windows 7 is not able to create any new user accounts, which is needed in order to install the update components or Geforce Experience. So fixing something in the registry (I forgot what it was) allows the folder c:/Users/UpdatusUser to be created and the installation would work. Tried the fix earlier and didn't work.
I was live chatting with Nvidia tech support for an hour, and they were trying to diagnose the problem but couldn't come up with anything. The person helping me was looking at my logs from the first installation and saw quite a few insufficient space errors. I have 98GB free on my OS drive, so that can't be the issue. He said it might've been due to a corrupted download, so I downloaded the drivers again and still no luck
At least the core drivers are installed, still I'd like to have everything work properly.
Attached below are some logs when I tried installing just the Geforce Experience (the standalone .exe). I am trying to include as much info as possible so we can figure out what the heck is going on, because at this point I got nothing.
Thanks guys, I'm excited for the switch just want to get everything working right
