Firefox cannot be found inside the Program Files (x86) when using the shortcut or the actual .exe. I also tried using Regedit.exe and firefox was not there. How do I fix this?

After I get the error message "Windows cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I proceeded to use the Regedit solution but the file was not inside the Image File Executable Options folder. The only file inside of there was iexplorer.exe.

#Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and download the installation file to your desktop. You can use Safari to do that, but don't choose to run it.<br><br>
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box''). If you don't see it anywhere, then it's not installed.<br><br>
#Assuming it is though, reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox<br><br>
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.<br>
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.<br><br>

    Hi
    I've got a similar problem.  iTunes v10.2 worked fine, but when I tried to update it to 10.5 I got a 'Bonjour' error.  I eventually solved that but I still couldn't upgrade to 10.5, so I deleted every single Apple, Quicktime, iTunes, etc file on my PC using Revo Unistaller (because the normal Windows Add/Delete programs wouldn't work) but now, when I install the latest iTunes version from scratch (on XP SP3), it says: "the installer encountered errors before it could be configured.... your system has not been modified" 
    Any ideas?

    had similar issues with my macbook(2010 running lion) and after a few restarts it would not restart anymore and is at the service center since saturday. i would suggest you do not use iTunes until this issue is addressed. seems to be macbooks that are having freeze up issues.

    Is there anything I can check in my settings to fix this? Or is this a carrier issue and should I contact my provider?

    Is MMS turned on in settings? Settings>Messages>SMS/MMS>MMS Messaging>On. Can you send/receive SMS's? If you answer both questions with a yes, the problem rests with your carrier. Either MMS is not provisioned on your account, or not provisioned properly. So, contact your carrier.

  • HT1449 With the last upgrade I now no longer have video zoom capabilities on my iphone4 or ipad? Some people I know have it and some do not? How do I fix this?

    Is there a way to restore the zoom capabilities when videoing on my IPAD and Iphone 4 both lost this capability when I did the last apple upgrade

    To zoom in and out, you use a pinching motion on the screen (pinch in to zoom in; pinch put to zoom out).

  • Install 11gR2 client on Windows 7 in the Program Files (x86) folder

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to install the 11g R2 client 32bit on Windows 7 into the Program Files (x86) folder. We already have the 10g client installed into this location, and wish to keep the Oracle software in the same ORACLE_BASE location.
    The installer fails with an error INS-32010 String contains invalid characters.
    Is there a way to work around this, or are we going to have to change the ORACLE_BASE location?
    Any help or experiences shared will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Alex

    It should allow .
    The issue lies some where else
    Below is mandatory :
    Ensure that the paths you select for Oracle software, such as Oracle home paths and the Oracle base path, use only ASCII characters. Because installation owner names are used by default for some paths, this ASCII character restriction applies to user names, file names, and directory names.

  • I installed the latest update, and tried to reply to an email right after. The email looked like a bunch of cymbals, arrows, font names, parts of the email. So I opened it up with Internet Explorer, and all was normal. How do I get this fixed?

    The latest update was the source of the problem. I was replying to emails, and the update popped up. I updated. I continued to reply to emails, and the whole page had arrows, symbols, brackets, font names, red correction lines, etc.
    I opened my emails in Internet Explorer, and everything was normal. How do I fix this?

    I look at it like this, it was a solution to my problem. There is obviously something wrong with the new version. When everyone starts complaining, and some genius figures out the fix, then I will worry about the upgrade. Until then, I am fine with running 4.0. I have to disagree with you though. 6.0 is a downgrade for sure. There is a lot to be desired compared to this version. Who wants price gong, and screwed up emails. Not me. The problem is out there, and now someone needs to work on the bug fixes on this BETA version.

  • I am getting EXACTLY the same "you don't have the required permissions" message that I see all over the net.  64 bit windows 7 ultimate. Many uninstalls and reinstalls.  Yes, Itunes is in the program files x64 directory.  Yes I get the same error there.

    I'm getting the same error message as many other when I try to start Itunes.  It was working correctly until I got an ipad 3 and installed some of the associated tools.  Have uninstalled and reinstalled many times.  Yes it's in the program files x64 directory.  Yes I get the same error when I try to start direct from that folder instead of menus or desktop shortcuts.  Did some registry cleaning.  Nothing helps.  Windows 7 ultimate, 64 bit.  Please help.

    The install fails with the error: "installer has insufficient privileges to access the directory >c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\itunes. The installation cannot continue". My user account is an admin account. I then retried the install by right-clicking and running the install with Admin Privileges. Same error results.
    I don't have a Windows 7 box in front of me, so can you check something for me?
    Navigate to that location on the PC look at the itunes item you see there. Is it a shortcut to your iTunes program file?
    If it's just a shortcut, try dragging it out onto the desktop and doing another (64-bit) install. (With a 32-bit already in place, it may just offer to do a "repair install" instead of a full install.
    Do you still get the error message or does the install go through smoothly this time?

    You're ignoring context.  On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers.  The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies.  Then came Lion.  The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest.  (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable.  (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
    People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems.  I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there.  Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
    The people helping here are all volunteers.  None of them is being paid for the time they spend here.  They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities.  It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.
