![]() ![]() ![]() Yes it is a larger download, but doesn’t seem to present any installation issues. If you are having issues with the Logitech intelligent/web-based “Smart installer package”, try the “full” version instead. One file to look for with great information is the installation log file found on XP atĬ:\Documents and Settings\ userprofile\Application Data\Logishrd\sp6_log\sp6_setup.logĪnyway…to sum up a short-blog post getting longer than intended… Use of Mirekusoft Install Monitor or another similar tool like Directory Monitor or Track Folder Changes will ferret them all out for you.) (Actually, there are LOT more folders and stuff (hopefully) created in both installation events. Bottom line is that the “full” installer brings a lot more files to the party than the web-based intelligent installer. Repeating the process and carefully keeping an eye on it, this installer unpacks itself to “C:\Documents and Settings\ userprofile\Local Settings\Temp\Logitech” and creates a “SetPoint_1” folder.Ĭomparing this folder against the “SetPointSI32_1” folder from the other installer finds a lot of similarities and differences. I was able to then set my mouse-wheel-tilt-clicky buttons just fine! It went on with no drama and voilà, this SetPoint installer created the missing C:\Program Files\Logitech” folder with all the contents. I downloaded and used the 32-bit (setpoint632.exe) file. Interestingly, these were not the setpoint632_smart.exe file, but links to the standard SetPoint installation packages. I didn’t feel like trying that, however the poster also offered 32/64 bit download links. “Meltech” recommended installing in a Clean Boot mode. I really needed the SetPoint application itself to install.Ī long survey on Google found quite a lot of users on the web (not just XP users) who just could not get SetPoint to install on their systems using the intelligent/web-based SetPoint installer download along with many very clever…but usually ineffective tips on getting it going.Įventually I found this post in a Logitech forum: Unable to install Setpoint 6.32 on Windows 7 圆4 - Logitech Forums. Unfortunately, manually running these “recovered” installers didn’t result in getting SetPoint correctly installed on my XP system, nor did trying to manually install the drivers. I also found that during the installation process you can copy these folders/contents to another location to preserve them after the installation completes and the originals are removed. Once the installation process is completed, the contents of these folders are removed. On 32-bit XP systems, it appears to unpack a primary temporary installation folder to “C:\Documents and Settings\ userprofile\Local Settings\Temp\Logitech”Īt first a folder “SetPointSI_1” is created, followed by a secondary “SetPointSI32_1” folder, then contents of which are pulled down from the web. So I next ran Process Monitor and was able to trace the unpacking of the (setpoint632_smart.exe) location as it worked. For some reason it appears the folder wasn’t being made. It kept pointing to a non-existent “C:\Program Files\Logitech” folder. Getting a bit frustrated, I checked out a few things.įirst I chased the SetPoint software location via the application shortcut being created. ![]() Tried a few more times and each time resulted in either the same error as before, or a “successful” install with no actual installation of the core SetPoint application into my Program Files folder. This time it went on “successfully.” However when I went to configure the click buttons, the options weren’t there.Ĭuriously, I now had the Logitech folder in my Program list, but the “Mouse and Keyboard” launch icon pointed to nowhere. Please restart your computer and try again. The first time I ran it, I got an error “SetPoint failed to install. So I hopped over to the page above and then to the downloads link,stepped through the options, and came up to the XP SetPoint 6.32 download page for this particular model (which I suspect it is for most all SetPoint hardware…).ĭownloaded the file (setpoint632_smart.exe) and proceeded with the install. It takes Logitech SetPoint software drivers to enable these extra click-button features fully. I set these to copy & paste functions and can really scream through work. I think these are called the “Tilt-wheel plus” feature. I wanted to use my Logitech Cordless Desktop LX 710 laser keyboard/mouse set with it specifically the LX7 mouse which has handy left-wheel & right-wheel click support. Earlier this week I built a fresh virtual machine of Windows XP Home for use in long-term XP fiddling. ![]()
