How to Install Ai Suite 3! (For People Who Cannot install the new AI Suite 3)

Zentrope

Okay...I finally was able to fix this!!

Follow the steps correctly..

-Uninstall any remaining Asus programs, then start windows in safe mode and run this cleaner.

-Restart into normal windows mode and download a newer version of AI suite listed at your Motherboard page, decompress it but don't install it.

-In the drvresource folder right-click on HMservice/aaHMIns.exe and AXSP/axinst.exe and change the compatibility for all users to run as administrator. (Look into compatibility settings and opt accordingly)

-Run the main Ai suite installer (asussetup) as administrator.
Nothing seems to be happening again but just check your task manager for a process called axins.exe. End that process and the installer should magically start working.

Thx for this guide. But, erm, am I the only one who thinks this is totally BS?! ASUS, just fix your sh*t!

Okay here is my setup
I have 1 Asus Z87 Pro V Edition Running Windows 10 pro, And i just used the Z87 DVD to install it, since then i have done several Clean installs
And using the updated Windows 8.1 Version since there are no AI Suite 3 Version for the Z87 board not have a single problem with expect the fans not responding
To temp change if AI Suite is minimized but i have gotten into the habit now of clicking the icon in task bar and having be my "Background Image"
i don't even notice it anymore.

My 2 PC is my problem child always has been specs:
Asus Z97 Pro Gamer at the momemnt i am running Windows 8.1 pro again, With Ai suite no problems with getting it Installed on Windows 8.1 As long at least so it
has been for me that i install the MEI drivers from Asus first then i can just install ai suite or choose to install the updated MEI from Windows update and then install
AI Suite. BUT
When i signed up for the Windows 10 upgrade i went thru the normal frustration of getting rid of ai before the upgrade because windows 10, last fall did not like
AI suite to much so i had to do a clean install of win 8.1 pro then upgrade to 10 pro was a hazzle because i forgot to install the pro pack before i upgraded to windows 10
But i have so many medie players so i thought okay i loose the one you get if you bought the media center addon to win 8.1.

NOVEMBER A BAD DAY FOR MOST WINDOWS 10 USERS
As some of you recall november 2015 the how can put this, well some of us got a F.U.B.A.R update srt guys but my english is limited as its not my native language
Well my store stopped working from after that tried all but everytime i tried to install from the store well it would just close i tried everything i could find re registering
the store files delete the store temp folder files everything well nothing worked. so what the heck did not use store much.

But finally this year around February my pc was getting a bit sluggish and i wanted a bigger SSD drive also so i thought okay time for a clean install on my new
500 GB SSD install took 5 mins sweet trying to install AI Suite was a different matter it simply will not, i did everything found in this post but it will start the install with
installing matrix the ZIP O nada.
I have tried everything from using the old mei drivers from Asus "updated" Windows 10 site to the newest.
But it won't install so i am back on my "slow" yea Windows 8.1 feels slow compared to Windows 10 :).
I was browsing the Asus site for clue's to what i could do and then i was just clicking links on links until i found a web page with the MB supported by Windows 10

Well my eyes almost popped out when i saw my Asus Z97 pro gamer was not, BUT as i scrolled down saw that asus do offer Windows 10 drivers when doing
The Upgrade from Windows 8.1 now my english aint to good so maybe i am reading it wrong i dont have the link it was some where in the FAQ list

BUT MY ASUS Z87 pro v edition was no where to be seen, but it gives me no hazzle at all.
So does that mean if i was reading the AI Suite Support list correct that i need to install Windows 8.1 first then have to Upgrade to Windows 10 everytime
I want to do a clean install of my windows 10 and i do that a lot before i can get ai suite to install it must be so since the only time i have been able to install ai suite on my Z97 was
When i did the upg from 8.1 to windows 10??
OHH found the link here is the text and link, "seems i was wrong its not about which mb support ai but for windows 10, but still my z87 has no issues my z97 has em all
The following motherboards offer Windows 10 driver for OS upgrade and compatible installation:
http://www.asus.com/microsite/mb/Windows_10/

If anyone have read long post above, as i wrote i am using the Windows 8.1 Ai sute Version on my Z87 pro v edition running windows 10 With no trouble
SO has anyone tried doing that on the Z97 board using the either install dvd or the updated windows 8.1 drivers on Windows 10, AND then hopefully upgrade it to
the ai suite for windows 10 it shold be possible the boards use the same "almost" the same hardware Z97 was suppose to be the next step after Z87 it never was for me
But will i be able to use my DVD "Windows 8.1" or the Windows 8.1 updated AI Suite as a base to get AI to install and then Upgrade to the latest Vesion from there

It a hazzle but have not found another program that works as well for my fans and GPU Fans?
So anyone tried that, stupid of me not to think about that before since i am doing it with my Z87 mobo but before i do yet another Windows 10 install
I would like to know my chances sure the new Windows 10 BSOD looks much nicer then it did on Windows 7 and most of the time you are able to recover

I was never that lucky with Windows 7.

Well ill reply to this myself seems the guys on the amd forums are doing just that, with no issues so lets see how it goes

Well that was fun installing Windows 10 again, just to find out it did not work trying to use my DVD with the ai suite for windows 8.1, so i thought i would install logitech gaming software and then it hit me as that program would not install either that i also had that problem the last time doing a clean win 10 but i did look in the lgs folder in my user folder seems lgs does not know which OS is installed and trying to find the unique temp path.

Now that has to be the dumbest program ever because since well atleast windows nt, can't remember if it was the same location on windows 3.1 which i had on floppy's the big cloth like onces ohh how i miss those days anyway this one is for any LGS programmer who might be lost and stumble into this site by mistakke
yea i am cruel but here goes the path is the
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp for the TEMP location
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp for the TMP location

Now if the AI suite installer also does not know where to put the temp files
Well let me help you with that.
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp for the TEMP location
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp for the TMP location

See how easy that is.
So now i want the Lost person from logitech and the lost person from Asus
To write that location on the blackboard 1000 times should do it i think.

Thank you,
The rest of the class is dismissed

phew feel much better now, so if anyone has a nice hack i can do on the installers to make sure they know there way ill be most thank full well once i stop laughing from reading the log
I will not post the log that WOULD be cruel.
But i will keep it safe and read it everytime i need a good laugh 🙂

Just a quick edit yea did notive my own small error's on the text but am still lmao so ill let you rant me for them

Well I did what I did last summer installed my win 8.1 made sure I did offline so nothing was dl in the background took me 6 mins to get 8.1 installed but only because well either I am getting old or need glasses ill take the glasses so was damn hard reading the win 8.1 lisens had to find a magnifying glass and still got 1 wrong anywats made sure I did it offline after I had win 8.1 installed I did not wait 1 sec 2 update graphics card or anything nope just installed the mei "no reboot" then the chipset driver "no reboot" the ai well "reboot" then lgs "reboot" then I installed my lan driver and got online just dl the 1 medie creation tool I found and hit run

Well I'm now running windows 10 pro
and Ai suite seems happy for the time being using the win 8.1 version no errors and the icon is sitting in my task bar so after some sleep ill click it not today
if I see another animation from ms we are getting things ready well you prob all hate that sh... 2 and my lgs works fans seems fine can't hear em
not sure if that's good or bad but for now my eyes hurt to much so anyone having the same trouble try my way if it dosent well I found a big hammer and
an old hd "broken" ofc works just fine have fun

anyone have a working link to AI Suite III cleaner?

I always get "Failed to Create Process" errors and then eventually a "This model does not support this" error.

Ive tried the unblock the .zip file (though using WinRAR, not WinZip) as well as anti virus off / on. The only thing I haven't tried is using win7 to extract the .zip and running AI Suite 3 cleaner (no working links on google)

Good morning everyone. So the above mentioned sticky contains a link to a google doc which does not exist. Is there anyone who has uploaded a copy of that file?
