Unable to reinstall Roxio DigitalMedia LE on 3000 C200

#1 Post by Turps » Sat Aug 25, 2007 5:15 am

Unable to reinstall Roxio DigitalMedia LE supplied with Lenovo 3000 C200 laptop running Windows XP Pro.

From the factory supplied system I copied to another partition the folders containing the I386, applications, drivers, etc intended for reinstalling.

I formatted C: and reinstalled Windows from I386 (so as to have a system without the Lenovo junk). I then installed the items I wanted from the above folders. However installing Roxio has beaten me.

The folder \SWTOOLS\APPS\digmedle and its sub folders contains the Roxio files including several .msi files (eg in \SC_DATA_204, BMPLE.msi). Running any of the .msi files tells me to run Setup.exe first. However nowhere can I find a relevant Setup.exe for Roxio.

I cannot find a download at Lenovo.

Any suggestions, please?

Sir, there are many softwares, lenovo preloads on it's machines that are not retail versions. These are usually provided by 3rd party vendors that pay lenovo to bundle them (on the systems) under agreement, they're either oem/trial/corporate versions and can only be used with lenovo preloaded factory image and not on a clean install.

You can check Roxio website to check if they offer the product you're looking for.
