ReadyNAS remote install problems

Hello,

I am unable to install the ReadyNAS remote software on a PC running Windows 7.

I am guessing the problem is the leafnetworks adapter. I also tried doing a manual install of the adapter with no luck as well. I tried with the AV turned off and in SAFE mode.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I tried the advice from that thread without any luck. I verified the Leaf Networks Adapter was not installed and then tried a manual install. Recieved an error message saying the manual hardware addition failed.

This is not the source of the issue, but there is a data center move this weekend and the service is down. Please PM me on Monday and we will set up a support session to have a look at your issue.

Did you ever resovle this as I have the same issue on Windows 7 Ultimate and I have tried installing/uninstalling about 10 times with no success? The installer just kills my current network connection and hangs.

TIA, Simon

I also have problems installing the ReadyNAS Remote client on Windows 7 x64. During the install it created copies of all my Network Adapters with a Netgear ending. These extra NICs could be Disabled but not Uninstalled.

Luckily the "Last Known Good" worked for me since I also got all my NICS hung by the install.

Anywho, I just installed and configured the Leaf Adapter manually and will do a Reboot to make sure it doesn't screw things up before I try the Install again.

I got a ReadyNAS Duo for Christmas with which I am gettingI am getting exactly the same issue (win 7 64). The installer causes a windows dialog to popup saying the the installer has stopped working. Clicking ok on the dialog appears to allow the installer to finish however the initialisation failed error code -3 comes up when I try to start ready nas remote. I also tried to install the leaf networks client but the same thing happens. I get an error code -3. I was able to install on my work PC which is also win 7 64. the only major difference I can think of is that this laptop has VMWare workstation installed which means there are already some virtual network interfaces created for it (no idea why that would be a problem though).

steviep: I also have VMware Workstation installed. Since below I've also noticed that sometimes but not always I can not Hibernate or Sleep the Laptop. I've tried to eliminate driver after driver and is now beginning to blame all of this on the fwleaf driver. I sure hope Netgear have started to work on a solution.

When I get this fixed I will NEVER try to install Netgear Remote Client on Win 7. Not when FTP and SSH/SCP is working like a charm.
