Error opening file for writing when installing

I cannot install Flash on my Vista X64. I have tried running
the downloadable install and the online install. Any time I try to
run the install I get "error opening file for writing" when trying
to write C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\Flash9d.ocx.
I have uninstalled Fash first (it never worked anyway) and I
have rebooted. I even tried rebooting in Safe Mode but no matter
what I try, I cannot remove the existing Flash9d.ocx and installing
will not overwrite the existing file.
Even after uninstalling Flash and rebooting to safe mode,
Windows reports that flash9d.ocx is in use. So why is the file in
use after uninstalling?
Any help is appreciated.

Well, I finally figured out the problem with mine today. Of
course, I'd still like to know what nefarious purpose might be
involved with the Flash activeX file being loaded in memory even
after uninstall and reboot such that it cannot be removed from my
PC even in Safe Mode.
At least I got Flash working. I discovered that Flash was
disabled in IE.
In IE, go to Tools->Options->Programs and then Manage
Add-Ons. In my case, the ShockWave Flash Object was set to
disabled. I changed it to Enabled and I was able to install and use
Flash properly. Now I am just not sure I want to.
With the questionable practices of using the ActiveX control
even after uninstall, and making the file un-removable, along with
the extremely (in my opinion) dishonest practice of installing
Google Toolbar with Flash, I am hoping that Microsoft's Silverlight
puts Flash out of the market - and I'm no huge fan of Microsoft
either. With the new practices from Adobe, they are, in my opinion,
no better than any other spyware and malware purveyor on the market
- right up there with Napster and the dozens of follow-on products
that tricked users into installing unwanted software.

Cannot download Flash Player 10 due to - Error opening file for writing: Flash10d.ocx

Hello all,
I am having difficulty installing Flash Player 10. I open it up, and only 10% of the download bar finishes before I get the message:
"Error opening file for writing:
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx"
I am running Windows Vista with Internet Explorer, although I'm not 100% sure which version of IE it is and haven't found out how to check. I have McAfee for security, but I have already tried disabling the Firewall with no success.
My computer is new, so there's a chance that it already has Flash Player 10 on it since it belonged to someone else before it came to me, but I don't know how to check that either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Let me clarify:
I have already tried disabling the firewall and running the installer again, but it didn't work.

Error Opening File for Writing

I have a laptop running on Windows XP and I was having a really hard time running applications on Face Book. I kept getting a message to "kill pages" or "wait" for the program to respond. Most times it would eventually automatically "kill pages" and I am unable to use those apps. It's not only on Face Book either; some other pages will not run due to this problem. So I visited the Adobe web site and it said my version was out of date and that I needed to download the latest version. I did and now I am getting the error unable to open file for writing. (C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave\SwHelper_1166636.exe) I don't know if that matters or not.
I cannot download the latest version; I don't know what other information I can give about the laptop; I am now getting the message "A plug-in (Shockwave) isn't responding". Please help if you can.
Thank you for your time and help,

That is actually Shockwave Player.
So does this FB app actually require Flash Player or Shockwave Player?
Get Flash Player from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Vi error on nfs mount; E212: Can't open file for writing

Hi all,
I've setup a umask of 0 for testing on both NFS client (Centos 5.2) and NFS server (OSX 10.5.5 server).
I can create files as one user and edit/save out as another user w/o issue when directly logged into the server via ARD.
However, when I attempt the same from an NFS mount on a client machine, even as root I get the following error using vi;
"file" E212: Can't open file for writing
Looking at the system.log file on the server, I see;
kernel[0]: add_fsevent: no name hard-link! dropping the event. (event 2 vp == 0xa5db510 (-UNKNOWN-FILE)).
This baffles me. My umask is 0 meaning files I create and attempt to edit as other users are 777, but I cannot save out edits unless I do a wq! in vi. At that point, the owner of the file changes to whomever did the vi.
This isn't just a vi issue as it happens using any editor, but I like to use vi.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Hey, beer is on me!

Hi all,
Thanks for the replies
I've narrowed it down to a Centos client issue.
Everything works fine using other Linux based OS's as clients.
Since we have such a huge investment in Centos, I must figure out a workaround. Apple support wasn't much help as usual however they were very nice.
There usual response is "its unsupported".
If Apple really wants to play in the enterprise of business space, they really need to change there philosophy. I mean telling me that I shouldn't mount home directories via NFS is completely rediculus.
What am I supposed to use then, Samba of AFP? No, I don't think so. No offense to Microsoft but why would I use a Windows based file sharing protocol to mount network shares in a Nix env???

Cannot open file for writing...

I keep getting this error...
Cannot open "filename" file for writing. Please check the output filename and file permissions (if it already exists) and then try again.
Not sure what is going wrong here. I have scoured the web and can't find a solution.
Running CS5 on a Mac.
Any help is appreciated!!

This might indicate a problem in AME CS5, but we'll need more information about the clip--and possibly a copy of it--before we can make that judgment.
If the clip plays on Computer X but not on Computer Y, that could indicate that X has a certain codec that's missing on Y.
What codec is the clip? What's the extension of the filename (which equates roughly to the type of wrapper)?
What are the origins of the clip? (e.g., is it straight off of a camera? or was it encoded by another program?)
Do you have AME 5.0.1 installed on both computers?

IE gives "Error opening file" for Sound while it runs fine on Chrome

Is there something with Adobe and IE compatibility ?
When I run a package in Chrome , my audio and video both work fine
Same package when run in IE , video runs fine but the sound gives "Error opening file"

What type of media file? Can you post a link to the problem page online?

SAP Archive Link (Error in opening file for writing)

I am trying to export a file to a folder in the server using a logical path.
The logical path I am using is MARKETING_FILES. I have changed its physical mapping to 'G:\Segmentation_Exports\<FILENAME>'
I am scheduling the program as a background job. But it gets canceled throwing the following error.
SAP ArchiveLink (file G:\Segmentation_Exports\100AC-$100OFF_201105300730 could not be opened for writing)
The problem occurs only in production. In development and Quality servers the program works fine.
In production, when the mapping is changed back to default i.e., <P=DIR_GLOBAL>/<FILENAME>. the program works fine.
Suggestions to solving the issue??
Edited by: qwerty_m on May 30, 2011 9:55 AM

I would check the obvious things first ......
1) Does the directory "G:\Segmentation_Exports" exist on the Production server?
2) If so, does the SAP user have write access to the directory?
3) If so, was a directory inadvertently created with the same name as the output file?
You can also use transactions SM21 and ST22 for more information about the error.

How to avoid opening file for writing each time?

Hi!
I have real time data acquisition from a digitizer (NI PXI 5124, but it is not important for my question). Using several NI SCOPE examples I wrote a simple labview program that does the following things in a while loop: configures the digitizer, fetches data and display it in a waveform graph, calculates FFT and display it in a waveform graph, and while the “Save To TDMS File” button is pressed it writes data to a TDMS file. And it works almost fine and “almost” is because from time to time some data are not written to the file. I suppose that the reason is that I open and close the file each time. How can I open the file only once when the button “Save To TDMS File” becomes active and close it at the end, when the button “Save To TDMS File” becomes inactive? I had some ideas using local or global variables but I didn't’t manage to make them work.
Additionally, how can I make “File Path” control inactive while the “Save To TDMS File” is active?
Thanks!

You could save the button's value in a shift register. Then you can see if the value changed. If the value changed to TRUE, open the file and use a property node (Enabled) for the path control to disable it. If the value changed to FALSE, close the file and re-enable the path control. You will need to save the file reference in a shift register as well.

"Attempt to open locked file for writing, Result Code = -54" when importing

I get this error box when importing audio files into a logic session over my network.
+Attempt to open locked file for writing+
+Result Code = -54+
The finder is capable of copying the files over to the local machine, at which point I can successfully import them into my local logic session, but Logic is incapable of doing the same. Strange and annoying.

JRE Command Line Install - Error Opening File Java3BillDevices.jpg

Error opening editor for file

When I'm opening files via a SFTP connection the file opens; however, I get a somewhat annoying "Error opening editor for file c:\users\[user]\AppData\Local\Temp\[connection]\[folder]\(SFTP)[file]"
I can't figure out why!
Any ideas?

you should use "<xsl:include href" instead of "<xsl:import href"

Apple dropped playback support for .swf formats in QuickTime almost ten years ago.
Adobe Flash Player is the only way to view them.

Opening existing file for writing

Hey how do I open an existing file for writing. For example I want to just add one more line to a file after it has been closed but I don't have the reference to the FileWriter / BufferedWriter object. So I have to tell the directory maybe but how do I open it and start writing to it at the end.
Thanks.

You just create a new File Object 
File f = new File("c:/foo.txt"); 
Then you can read or write to that file with FileReader or FileWriter 
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(f); 
fw.write(); 
If you want to append sth. to a file I would recommend RandoAccessFile 
RandomAccesFile raf = new RandomAccesFile(f, "rw") 
Now you can get the length of the file and set the pointer to the end 
raf.seek(raf.length());

Error Opening File

Apparently I am the only person in the world having this problem but so far speedgrade is working if I bring a file in from Premiere Pro but If I try to bring one from the desktop I get a placeholder graphic "error opening file" there are also no thumbs showing in the file view.(there are thumbs for the .thm files in the same folder)The files are .h264 mov's from a Canon T2i

Hey,
to be clear - are those canon t2i mov's files that comes out from the canon directly, or do it went through any convert process?
> On which operating sytem are you working?
> the files have .mov ending?
> do you have the latest quicktime player installed?
> make sure to set Filter to 'All Files or Movie Formats' in the Desktop Panel of SG
Speedgrade is reading the thumbs directly out of the QT file, so THM files are not needed.
Please attache a screenshot from the Desktop Panel, when browsing to the clips, also a screengrab from the placeholder.
Thanks,
