I get this error message when trying to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, Setup has caused and error in SETUP.EXE.

Upgrading from Firefox version 2.0.0.20 to the latest version, 3.6.8.

Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.

You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz.

  • I tried to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox but on the Firefox start page is still says "you are not on the latest version of Firefox, upgrade now"

    I tried to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox but on the Firefox start page it still says "you are not on the latest version of Firefox, upgrade now". The start page looks different so maybe it did upgrade but why does the reminder still show?

    You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. It appears that page is no longer being maintained by Google. You appear to have the latest Firefox version.
    '''If you want the Google search page as your home page,''' change your home page to '''''about:home''''' (a new, updated version of the old Google/Firefox home page is now built-in to Firefox).

  • I keep getting this error message when i try to install the latest version of itunes, the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. try reinstalling the program to fix this problem??

    I am having trouble reinstalling my Itunes on my desktop which uses Windows 7 and I can download it but once it's complete i keep getting this error message...The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. Please help me.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    777iPod,
    This is a good guide to help with kernel panics: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
    I think it's Support policy, even prior to an archive and install, to have a user first remove any third party RAM and third party devices to verify that none of those are causing the kernel panics. We weren't told if that was done, but I've assumed so. If third party RAM was allowed to remain installed, it is not unusual for it to be the source of kernel panics.
    I don't know if it's part of the Support checklist, but when making changes like that, or when replacing hardware or software in general, I have always followed that up with a PRAM reset. I realize that usually Macs will recognize (plug & play) such changes, but my experience has been that it's better to just do the PRAM reset, or else be prepared to shut down and then do a fresh startup so that the system can do its usual self-testing that is performed during startup.
    If it was an archive and install that Support recommended to jmanwee, and if it did not resolve the issue, I believe their next suggestion will be to erase and install.
    Once third party devices and software have been eliminated as the potential cause of the kernel panics, I imagine Support will have no problem arranging for hardware repairs.
    I'm probably overlooking something, but referring to the above link should help anyone get their situation resolved.

  • Can you please help with this error messag when I go to upload the latest version of lightroom 5.4

    I havent had any problems in the past with upgrading.  It appears some link of sorts has been broken.  I have a Windows PC.
    Thanks

  • I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the pick a username screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists...." despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

    I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the <pick a username> screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists.Only one account per email address is allowed on the Apple Support Communities" despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

    This problem has been driving me demented. The instructions that Ivan gives have partially worked for me. By following his link
    "How to find out if you have multiple Apple IDs" I was able to identify that yes I did have two apple accounts using the same e mail address. One was very old that I used to use for the forum boards and one is my much more recent ID that I use for everything these days. So I changed the e mail address for the old account which is associated with these discussion boards and that's the account that I am now posting this from. However even though the two accounts now have different e mail addresses when I try to log onto the boards with my more recent main apple ID I still get all the same errors as described at the start of this thread by rodgers_j. And of course that's the one I want to use so that I only have one itunes account for everything.
    So if anyone has any more hints I'd be very grateful.

    I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

  • When I try to update Firefox it repeatedly says Firefox must be closed to proceed with install. I even get the same message when I try to uninstall the existing version of firefox. How do I close Firefox???

    When I try to update Firefox it repeatedly says Firefox must be closed to proceed with install even tho Firefox is closed. I get the same message when I try to uninstall the existing version of Firefox. How do I close Firefox??? The same thing happens when I try to update other programs. When a program is off what else do I have to do to turn it off??

    If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions or have other problems with updating to update then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • What do I do when I've tried upgrading to the latest version of Firefox and I see the message: "access denied"?

    I've tried multiple times to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox. I click download, then run, and shortly after, a little pop-up appears titled "7-Zip" and the message "Access is denied" is within the pop-up.

    Try this:
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    *Start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon
    It is possible that anti-virus software is causing the problem.
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.

  • Where did Google Earth go when I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox?

    I clicked the popup that upgraded to the latest version of Firefox - and clicked to give it permission to make changes to my computer - and my Google Earth was no longer there. I restored my computer to before I had made the Firefox changes and my Google Earth was there but I got a blank page when I tried to open Firefox. Then I re-downloaded Firefox and Google Earth is gone. I would like to have both. If I have to do without one I would give up Firefox and use Internet Explorer until the problem gets fixed.

  • I get this error code when trying to update from an older version of Firefox: The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items.

    While trying to upgrade from a previous version of Firefox, I get this error code: "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items."

    I resolved the problem in Snow Leopard by logging out of my (admin) account and logging into my daughter's account on the same machine. She doesn't have admin privileges, so when I tried to install Firefox 4 in her account, I had to authenticate with my admin identity and PW. Installation went smoothly after that. My guess is that you could also simply create a new account on the same machine and install Firefox 4 from that. I have no idea why this works.
