Firefox 8.01 won't install, just disappears. No error msg. Many attempts. Seasoned Firefox user trying to upgrade from 3.6.24 on Windows 7 machine.

I downloaded Firefox 8.0 and later 8.01. When the upgrade is launched it unpacks and then gets ready to install and I'm prompted to select a user or administrator. No matter which I select when click on install the prompt disappears and that's the end of it. Nothing happens. Tried about 5 times on both upgrade packages. Running on a Gateway laptop with plenty of memory and disk space with Windows 7. I have never had a problem with Firefox.

HI Paul,
no sorry, did not manage to get it running. Hopefully someone from Adobe could have a look at the installation logs.

When trying to install v8.6.1 (upgrading from v8.5) on a Windows 7 machine, I get error -12

I'm trying to upgrade our LV 8.5 machine to 8.6.1 on a PC running Windows 7 Pro. 8.5 runs fine, but I can't even get through the installation without getting the following error:
Error: Windows SDK function returned an error (Error code -12).
Is there any way to get this installation to work? I have VIs I created in 8.6 that I need to run on another machine. I tried saving as version 8.5 but they won't run, saying the version is wrong.
And yes, I've been seaching for a solution for 2 days. Others have had the problem but I can't find a working answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.\
Thanks

I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard but my macbook keeps ejecting the disc. It started to install the first time and said it needed to restart to finish, restarted but ejected the disc. It ejects every time now.

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

Fo you have enough RAM & Free space?

App won't install, just says installing

I am trying to install hulu + free app. and it won't finish, just keeps saying "installing". I have turned off my phone, and tried again, but it is still installing..
what can I do?

Make sure Restrctions are not on.
Tap Settings > General > Restrictions
If Restrictions are not on, try resetting your iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then try again.

Unplug all Apple Devices from your USB ports or any other ports
Restart your computer
Open up Control Panel> Programs > Uninstall Programs
Click the “Publisher” to list the programs by publisher
Uninstall iTunes and Restart the computer
Repeat Steps 4-5 and uninstall all Apple Inc. programs (NOTE: If a program does not successfully uninstall, attempt to Repair it first)
Upon uninstalling all programs by Apple Inc. restart your computer
Delete all these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\QuickTime
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\QuickTimeVR
C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
Restart the computer
Remove all Apple Inc. entries from your registry (For this step I would recommend using CCleaner or aprogram like it if you are not familiar with the RegEdit command… I personallyused CCleaner which can be downloaded for free from www.download.com)
Once you have removed all registry entries from Apple Inc. restart your computer.
Do one more check to ensure that all registry errors and Apple Inc. entries are removed (which include iTunes, Bonjour, QuickTime, etc)
Do another quick check to make sure all Apple Inc. programs are uninstalled from the control panel, all the folders are deleted from Step 9 and the registry is clean.
One more restart and then download iTunes and the installation should go through flawlessly
I hope this works for you guys!! I just downloaded iTunes 10.5 and updated my phone to iOS 5.

How can I download Firefox 4.o to upgrade from Firefox 3.6.16, if after following all instructions the 2-minute download process is completed, but the download window is empty, and Version 4.0 is not installed?

A pop-up box in the lower right corner of the screen says the download is complete. But a search of the entire hard drive does not locate the files. I've tried restarting Firefox, restarting Windows---and even shutting down and restarting the computer---after each attempt at downloading, with no different results. I've also tried disabling other programs like V-Tuner and Eudora before downloading. I have no trouble downloading other files, including my original installation of Firefox plus the upgrades. My current version of Firefox (3.6.16) is still working just fine; I tried to upgrade only because 4.0 was announced on-screen today, and I thought I might as well have the latest thing. My operating system is Windows 2000, which I see listed as compatible.

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.

Tried to upgrade from firefox 3.6.2 to 3.6.3, error message says another instance of firefox is running, then 3.6.2 opens. This occurs when i start firefox after restarting the computer, or when i try to install the upgrade

This will occur every time i try to open firefox, after rebooting or any time i close it and reopen firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I Ok'd the upgrade from 3.6.2 to 3.6.3

Do a clean (re)install and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Alright y'all (jklawmd, Supritha Papannajklawmd, and anyone else having this issue),
I was having this same exact issue, and I actually referred to your post hoping for a fix (that I obviously did not find), however, I did discover a work around!!! I use "Adobe AIR" for my "Pandora One Desktop Application", but every time I opened the installer for "Pandora One" it gave me the same exact error. Here is what I did to fix it (Hoping it helps y'all too):
BEFORE starting ensure that the "AIR Program" that you want to install is downloaded and located in your "Downloads" folder
Uninstall "Adobe AIR" using the included uninstaller (Navigate to your "Utilities" folder in a "New Finder Window" in order to find this, once you're there you can't miss it)
Delete all previous "Adobe AIR" downloads
Download a new "Adobe AIR" Installer from "Adobe" (Sounds redundant I know, but bear with me)
Install "Adobe AIR" using the most recent download
VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE "AIR PROGRAM" YET
Once the "Adobe AIR" Installation is complete navigate to "File" and select "New Finder Window"
Once there select the "Applications" folder from the menu bar on the left of the window (Should be under "Favorites")
Navigate to your "Utilities" Folder (Again)
Locate the icon for "Adobe AIR Application Installer" and open it; This will open a new window
Once the new window is open, navigate to your "Downloads" folder and locate the "AIR Program" that you want to install select the "AIR Program" and click "Open" (Bottom right hand corner)
TaDa!!!
Following those steps should culminate in the initialization of the install process for the program that you weren't able to install before, and from there it is business as usual (selecting and answering to the necessary install prompts for the "AIR Program"). It seems like there is a glitch somewhere between "Yosemite" and "Adobe AIR" that prevents the "Adobe AIR Application Installer" from auto-running properly when you try to open the sub-program. However, initializing the "Adobe AIR Application Installer" FIRST allows it to get up and running before the sub-program communicates with it. This fixed it for me right away, please let me know whether it works for your specific "Adobe AIR"/"AIR Program" set, if not I will download your "AIR Program" and see if I can't find another way. Also, has anyone contacted either Adobe Support or Apple Support directly with this yet??
I hope this helps, personally, I don't know where I would be without my "Pandora One Desktop Application"!!!

Itunes won't install due to permission error???

iTunes will not let me install because every time this thing pops up and says I do not have permission to the files. Some HKEY file but I am the administrator. When I go to the registry edit it will not let me change who has permission.I also cannot delete them. What do I doooo?!?! Please help

Hello, Welcome to discussions.
To recap what was asked before. If you could post more information about your OS and system. Example below
Windows XP Home or Pro - What service Pack?
Windows Vista 32 bit or 64 bit - What service Pack?
*You can obtain this information by right clicking on My Computer or Computer and selecting properties.
If you are running Windows Vista there are currently two versions available for the OS
-32 bit iTunes - http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
-64 bit iTunes - http://support.apple.com/downloads/iTunes8_0_2_for_Windows_64bit
*Also if you have Vista. When you go to install iTunes you can right click on the iTunes Setup File and run as administrator. You may also wish to turn User Access Control off for the moment to attempt to install iTunes. This can be accessed via
-Control Panel - User accounts - Turn User access control on/off and uncheck the box and reboot. Repeat steps but check box and reboot to re-enable the service.
