you may get the “NVIDIA Installer cannot continue” error message while trying to run the.exeinstaller. You may also get a similar error while installing the driver from GeForce Engine. It also comes with different additional messages that indicate the exact nature of the error.
The first two solutions below correspond to the initial two error messages in the list above. If you have any other errors, it’s best toskip straight to the third solution.
Check Some Windows Services
If the error message includesWindows task scheduler service should be running to continue, you need to start this service as the message says.
However, this service will stop as soon as it starts if the Time Broker service doesn’t run, so you need to check both these services.
The underlying reason why this happens is likely related to their startup type. you may’t change this parameter from the Windows Services utility, so you need to utilize the Registry Editor for this purpose.
Now, the Task Scheduler service should start automatically, so you should be able to install the NVIDIA driver.
Uninstall NVIDIA Frameview SDK
If the additional error message isYou already have a newer version of the NVIDIA Frameview SDK installed, you canuninstall your current Frameview SDK.
This way, you may install the driver update as well as the Frameview SDK provided by the installer.
In rare scenarios, you will need touninstall NVIDIA PhysXas well.
Install From ProgramData Folder
The GeForce Experience Program will first download the driver update before allowing you to install it. So, if you encounter the above error while using this program, you may go to the downloaded location and manually run the installer.
Run GeForce Experience as Admin and Install
If you are getting this error while running a driver installer or just from the normal GeForce Experience program, you may try running this application as admin instead.
