Can't install Safari on Networked Windows XP PC

Hi all,
Just wondering what people thought of this:
At my workplace the computers are all PCs, running Windows XP over a Novell network. Sorry, I don't know an awful lot about networks, and can't tell you what KIND of network it is.
Being an avid Mac user at home, having to use Internet Explorer at work is an absolute torture. I tried to download Safari 3.0 for Windows, and whilst there were no problems opening the installer file, soon after opening the installation file it says install cannot continue because I 'do not have the administrator privileges.'
Just wondering why that is with Safari? Because installing Firefox 3 does not result in this issue? How can Safari for Windows installation be customised so that it can be installed, even though I'm not an administrator?
What is it that Safari does during installation that threatens the Windows XP network so much?
Curious...

It is possible that the network administrator has restricted installing applications or "Programs" onto the computers. I dont know allot about the installers of Firefox and safari but i would say your best best is to get a "portable" application for web browsing . You will be out of luck getting a portable version of Safari as its closed source and as such it is not posible for anyone to modify it to be a portable app. Your best bet is to stick with firefox.
http://portableapps.com/
This page has a list of many windows portable apps you can use off a USB stick or from any folder you have write access to.
I know how you feel allot of places use Internet Explorer my work still use IE 5.5 :P and its so poor its silly i always carry as USB stick with portable firefox on.

For Internet Explorer, you don't. Microsoft has already done it.
For Firefox, Opera or Safari, use the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
For Chrome, you don't need to wither because Google puts it in the browser.

i have oracle 9is db installed on my pc,
so in a previous maill somebody adviced me, plus the installation errors showed me that i could't installed it in C:\oracle\ora92 witch is where I have oracle9is db installed.
Then I was told that I could just give any new oracle_home and path.
but this is not working for me.
when I run oracle universal installation.
destination.Then
Enter or select an oracle home name and its full path.
as i have to enter a different name from my previous one where oracle9isdb is installed,
then I write
name oracleServer,
path c:\oracleServer when i do that i get the following errors.
There was a problem in accesing the staging area.

Hi,
actually I can only tell how it worked for me. I unzipped all zips into teh same directory and ended up with
d:\stage\disk1
d:\stage\disk2
d:\stage\disk3
Then I started the installer from disk 1 and follwoed all teh instructions. I did specify an Oracle Home as OracleAsInfra for the infrastructure to be in d:\OracleAsInfra and similar for teh Midtier OracleAsMidtier to be in d:\OracleAsMidtier
The rest ran smoothly

I can't install Dreamweaver 8 on Windows 7

Just like my title, I can't install Dreamweaver 8 on Windows 7 Release Candidate.
I can start the installation, but it just stuck at "installing" for very long time，and the installation just can not Continue...
I already try to running it in XP compatibility mode( Windows XP SP2), and the answer is the same: can't install.
Can anyone advise, please?

I'm afraid you may be out of luck. DW 8 is 3 versions old and was not tested to work on the new operating system.
There have been reports that some people are unable to run CS4 or are having problems with CS4 on Windows 7, so I doubt very much that DW8 would work. Sorry.
See this thread for the same issue

How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro/?

How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro?

You have several options.
1, Use a Virtual Machine like Vmware, Parallels etc... to Create a Virtual Windows Installation and Run your program in there. A Virtual MAchine will runn in a Window on your Desktop and share your Mac's resources RAM HD space processor. Your MAc desktop will still be available while you run Windows install.
http://www.parallels.com/
2. Install Windows on a partition using Bootcamp. It will run a full installation of Windows you can boot into, and run your programs. The Mac desktop will not available until your reboot the computer and start in OSx instead of Windows.

3. Use Wine / Winebottler to run the Application without the need for a complete Windows installation.

Can't start Safari 4 on windows xp

I recently installed Safari 4 on windows xp.
At first it seemed to work fine, then it froze when I had over 6 tabs open.
None of them would refresh.
I had to end the process to shut Safari 4 down.
I was able to restart Safari a couple more times but eventually Safari just won't start at all.
I restarted the pc a few times. I uninstalled and reinstalled Safari 4 but nothing works.
Any suggestions?
Thanks your help is appreciated

I'm having a similar problem on Vista Home Premium (64bit). Safari 3 was working fine but after running the Apple Updater and installing Safari 4 it will not display on desktop. Checking processes running Safari is resident and running, consuming about 13mb of mem, zero cpu cycles, and 3 threads. I have a 4 cpu system (x9650) with 4gb mem. Tried completely removing (using the apple uninstaller and windows uninstaller)and re-installing with a fresh download of Safari 4. Still will not display the browser.
Tried searching the web for others having this problem but not seeing much out there. Either these are corner cases or people are just giving up. Any thoughts on next steps?

Can't install Dreamweaver CS4 on WIndows 7. Setup error

I can't install Dreamweaver CS4 on WIndows 7. I get a vague error that says Setup error, sontact Adobe Customer Support. Adobe Customer Support refuses to help me. That really upsets me.

First of all I would like to thank the people that responded to my post. I am extreemly impressed with your eagerness to help and your concern for my problem. Thank you very much! I appreciate it.
I did not see a way to get a transcript of my chat. I should have printed it at the conclusion of my chat. Overall though, I think my concerns are with Windows itself and also how Adobe as a company handles a call from someone who gets an installation error that says "call Adobe Customer Support". I purchased this program to run on Windows 7 and I am installing it on a Windows 7 computer. I feel that if Adobe is going to give a vague error message and tell you to contact them, they should give me more assistance than "your product is too old, good luck on the forums". I could see if I am calling and asking them how to do something, maybe my product is too old for that, but I think their responce was unacceptable. I hope enough other people complain so that Adobe changes this policy.
Wow, this has taken an enormous amount of time to deal with. I imagine this is mainly a Windows file permissions issue, but I think Adobe needs to take some ownership for a client having to spend many HOURS trying to install their program on the original OS they purchased the program for.
I definitely do not like the way the Adobe Dreamweaver installer deals with errors. Here are the facts as I know them.
When the installer would fail on install, the subsequesnt install would fail, but it would give a VERY cryptic error stating that the install failed and I need to contact Adobe customer service.
In order to re-install I had to un-install. Naturally my un-installs failed every time, too. After lots of trial and error and checking the forumns, I found   the program install folders under c:\programs. I deleted them, re-booted, unistalled again with no errors. Then I could re-install without the vague "contact Adobe customer support" error. Note that I had to re-install several times to get to the bottom of the installation problem so this took a long time to figure out.
In the end, I had to manually delete files from C:\Windows\Installer in order to get Dreamweaver to install. This took a long time to figure out, too. It still installed with errors, but it said Dreamweaver would work with limited functionality. So far this is good enough for me and I am tired of spending non-billable time on this.
Following is one of the main erros I got during the first failed install. IF ANYONE KNOWS EXACTLY WHY MY INSTALL WAS FAILING I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. IT SEEMS LIKE IT DID NOT HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE OPERATING SYSTEM TO ACCESS THOSE FILES, BUT THAT SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE AS THE PROGRAM IS INSTALLED AS ADMINISTRATOR. Any thoughts???
Thanks again everyone who helped!

Windows 7 was the first Microsoft OS that needed fewer resources than its predecessor, it will run faster than Vista on the same system). Windows 7 is also a really nice OS, whereas Vista… well let’s just say it isn’t! So if you are investing in a shiny new version of Photoshop, why not do the job properly and upgrade your OS as well?

I can't install Safari!!!

A couple of months ago I had a Kernal panic. The panic seemed to be associated with letting the computer go to sleep, using a screen saver kept my computer up. After the panic opening safari would panic the computer immediately. So I uninstalled safari, and started using firefox.
I have since found and used and app called applejack which seems to have to cleared up my original problem.
But, I can not install Safari back on this machine. When I get to the point that I have to choose where to install safari, neither of hard drives can be used.
Any Ideas?

Hi
Thanks to Andy Ball in this forum, a simple method exists for installing Safari 2.0.4.
First, open Firefox and go to this site to obtain a zip file of Safari. On this site page, select "free", then on the following page you'll need to wait about 30 seconds for the target site options to appear. Select one of them, fill in the "alpha/numeric prompt", and the file will download.
After the new Safari application has mounted on your HD, go to the Finder and move the Safari.app to your Applications folder.
Go to the Utilities folder>Disk Utility and "repair permissions".
Drag a copy of Safari from your applications folder to the dock to create the icon.
Start Safari.

I can't install Itunes on a windows PC

I can't install ITunes on a windows PC. I already remove Itunes and I can't install it again. Someone who can help me please?

That's perfect, thanks.
When I click the download ITunes buttom, appear a box to save it, sometimes after click The save buttom appear another Box To choose where, sometimes doesn't appear and then I select the desktop and after that nothing more happens.
Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
If you can't get a working installer via the standard download links, try the following download links instead:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe

Can't install safari extensions, I get the error message "Safari can't install this extension, An error occurred while installing the extension "Pin It Button"." Any suggestions?

Every time I try and install an extension for Safari I get the error message "Safari can’t install this extension, An error occurred while installing the extension “Pin It Button”." I have all the latest updates, working on OS X Yosemite v 10.10.2 / Safari v 8.0.3. Any suggestions?

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to search for an item named "Safari Extensions List". If found, delete it. Quit Keychain Access.
Quit and relaunch Safari.
