Install File does nothing

I'm trying to install the latest version of Flash Player. I went to the download page and successfully downloaded the install exe file. When I click on the file to open it, I get a dialog box asking me If I want to run the file. When I click on Run, the dialog box closes and nothing else happens. I have Windows XP and I currently have Flash player version 10 installed. I tried closing my browser first, but that didn't make any difference. I've been in adobe's chat with 3 different tech. support representatives and they all refused to help me. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Download the appropriate offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header and save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

"Preview this File" Does Nothing + Blinding GTK+ open file dialogs...

...I have two problems in KDEMod4...did anyone have these problems and how do you fix them?
Right clicking a file and clicking "Preview this File" does nothing...including folder views, Konqueror, and Dolphin.
GTK+ open file dialogs alternate between the normal background for my text box and blindingly white background.

Hi,
I also have the same problem, but with my JNI and C++ expertise, I was able to isolate the problem.
My platform:
- Microsoft Windows XP, Family Edition (French), Version 2002, Service Pack 3
- JRE 1.6.0_21
In the source of the JDK6 (Src/windows/classes/sun/awt/windows/WDesktopPeer.java), the Desktop.open(file) calls the native method
ShellExecute(*uri.toString()*, "open")
For example, if you try to open "c:\helloworld.pdf",
uri.toString() = "*file:/c:/helloworld.pdf*"if I call ShellExecute("C:\\helloworld.pdf", "open"), it works
but if I call ShellExecute(" file:/c:/helloworld.pdf", "open"), it doesn't work on my platform.
In both case, the ShellExecuteW or ShellExecuteA function of the Windows API return the integer 42 (> 32), saying that the functions succeeded. If the file object is not correct, the function should return a value <= 32.
=> The bug is not due to Java implementation, but to a bug in the Windows API.
Other remark:
I also tried the "ShellExec_RunDLL" entry point of the Shell32.dll library using RunDll32 utility. Both commands below are running correctly:
rundll32 SHELL32.DLL,ShellExec_RunDLL "C:\hello.pdf"
rundll32 SHELL32.DLL,ShellExec_RunDLL "file:/C:/hello.pdf"My conclusion:
1) A workaround could be implemented in the JRE: use the file path without the "file:/" protocol prefix.
2) This bug seems to be present only one some version of Windows XP (to confirm).

Windows 8 - "Make Available Offline" option missing. Went to Control panel- Sync Centre clicking "Manage offline files" Does nothing.

Hello I am running Windows 8 Single Language Edition.
I tried to Make a NAS folder available offline by right clicking on the folder. But "Make Available Offline" option is missing.
Then went to Control Panel->Sync Centre clicking "Manage offline files" does nothing.
How to fix my issue?
Thanks,
Simon Mandy

Hi Simon,
Regarding to this issue, please refer to this article:
User Cannot Make Files and Folders Available Offline
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc978347.aspx
Please also check if Offline Settings is enabled from NAS folder. Folder-> properties -> Advanced sharing on sharing tab -> Caching.
Hope this could be helpful. Keep post.

Acsm file does nothing

This is ridiculous. The file does nothing in Digital editions. No matter what I do ( drag and drop on icon, open with digital editions, double click, etc) to open the file with digital editions, nothing happens. No messages. Editions doesn't change. Nothing at all.
I need this book ASAP. Does anyone have any pointers?

If nothing at all happens when you click on a jnlp
file, then your browser is likely not set up with the
jnlp mime type, which will cause it to launch javaws
for jnlp files. Also to host a jnlp file on your
server
you need to add the mime type to your server .
see:
http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/docs/develope
sguide.htmlI'm having the same problem how do you set the MIME type in the browser can you do it in HTML or Javascript? I'll give 24 duke dollars to anyone that can get my webstart program working.

P55M-GD45 : MSI install disc does NOTHING

That's pretty much it. Nothing. I put the disc in and a window comes up declaring that various drivers and utilities may be installed. Well, only the ones the program detects apply to the system. The chipset button does nothing. I click it and it presses and sits there looking pretty.
So, without any drivers, I can't use USB, and without USB, I can't use the internet, which might actually help install some drivers. Am I doing it wrong? I tried just adding the controller's drivers from the disc, but I have no idea which one is correct, and there are hundreds of INFs just sitting around on there.
Everything else looks good...other drivers that aren't greyed out install...whatever. Pretty much anything but what I need to proceed.
Then I tried registering at MSI's forum for help. Bad idea!! I got an activation e-mail which did NOTHING, bringing me to a screen talking about resending an activation code. Did I forget mine? Did I get the e-mail? Want to enter in your activation code to register so the nice people can help? Whatever! None of it does anything. The most infuriating thing to suffer after the driver disc that does nothing. It's not like I haven't built a few computers before...
Help!

Quote
- I have no way of transferring downloaded drivers from this computer to the new one (or detecting which ones to get automatically)
Obviously, you have a way of connecting to the internet, which means that you are able to download the drivers. Are you trying to tell me, that you have absolutely no possibility to get your hand on an USB Flash Drive, an external harddrive or a CD you can burn the downloaded stuff to? If that is the case, I object to believe that it is absolutely impossible for you to change that.

- This is a public bugmenot account. Say what you will about them, but I would not be talking if not for their help.
Okay, we do not allow such accounts here. I will close/shut it down immediately.
Quote
- After cooling off, I'm guessing the install disc requires SP2 or something which XP doesn't come with.
Yes, it does, definately. But again, that has noting to do with the driver disc.

Desktop.getInstance().open(file) does nothing (nothing happens)

I 've seen this on a user's computer:
Desktop.getInstance().open(myFile);
does nothing: no exception, no stacktrace, nothing.
It doesn't work for pdf or for xls files (and probably for all other file types too).
However, if he double clicks on a pdf or xls file in Windows Explorer it opens (in acrobat reader / MS Excel).
This also works in DOS-prompt: "start C:\myFile.pdf"
Making it canonical first doesn't work either:
Desktop.getInstance().open(myFile.getCanonicalFile());
Environment:
Java 6 update 16
Windows XP SP 3
A webstart application with all security permissions.
I've removed all JRE's and even removed the USER_HOME/application data/Sun map.
He upgraded from Windows XP SP2 to SP3 with no change.
Has anyone any idea what is causing this?

Double clicking .jar file does nothing!

Hello i am wondering, how to run a .jar file by double clicking it?
After creating the jar file and by typing javaw.exe -jar ledger.jar in command prompt in windows 7 works fine for my swing application.
I created a .bat file which has javaw.exe -jar ledger.jar also works fine.
But when i double clicking the ledger.jar is not working, not giving any error, not even doing anything.
I tried associating .jar file with java or javaw then also nothing happens.
My questions are:
1) What i have to do to execute the .jar file by double clicking it?
2) Why java is not so user friendly to the end users especially in Desktop Applications?
Thanks in advance.
Note: OS - Windows 7 64 bit
JRE - 32 bit in Program files (x86) folder version 7

Your other question, please blame Microsoft for not making file associations easier to manage.Too easy. You can blame MS all you want; it is the task of the Java runtime installer to properly setup the file associations - OR the administrator which bypasses the runtime installation with his own scripts. i have installed the runtime many times including on Windows 7 and it always does it properly. I have no clue how people end up with half-finished installations.

CFR File Does Nothing

I have two machines running Windows XP and CFMX 7.02
Developer Edition. Neither will display a CFR report. No errors are
encountered, the page is just completely blank. No Flash Paper, no
PDF, nothing. Report is just a simple query against a DB to test.
Testing the query in the report builder returns valid data. Used
the wizard to create the report. .CFR files are configured in IIS.
Preview in report builder behaves the same. Calling report from CFM
file using <cfreport> behaves the same.
Any ideas? TIA.

In report builder I create a new report, using the wizard. I
use query builder to access a local access database and just select
a couple of fields. I test query and it returns data. I proceed
with the wizard, accepting defaults for everything else. I save
report. I preview report. Preview window completely empty. I try to
access report via url to .cfr file. Empty browser window. I copy
.cfr file and database to different machine and run it via url
there. Same thing. I create .cfm page that does a query then uses
<cfreport> tag to call report using just returned query
(which I've cfdump'ed and it returns expected data). Same thing,
empty browser window. I view source of browser page. Completely
empty.

Lightning install procedure does nothing, provides no feedback

I'm trying to install lightning 2.6.5 on thunderbird 24.5 (compatible).
When I select "Install Add-on From File", choose the "lightning-2.6.5-sm+tb-linux.xpi" file and click "open" the dialog closes. And nothing. The calendar is not installed. No message appears. Restarting thunderbird changes nothing.
I've tried rm'ing configurations.ini and the extensions.* files form .thunderbird/garbledLetters/ but it hasn't helped.
Any ideas?
(RHELS 6.3)

Aha. I cannot install add-ons through the search bar either. I could let an add-on search (or the "Get Add-ons" tab) load all day; it'll stay "Loading..." until the cows come home.
If I *could* install that way, it may well fix the problem, however, I don't think it causes the problem. When I was running tb ERS 17, I had the same "Loading..." problem, but I could install through XPI files.

Running function with "Write-Host" and redirect output to file does nothing.

Hello,
I created this function:
function TicketSolutionInformation {
Write-Host "User has been created." -ForegroundColor Green
TicketSolutionInformation | Out-File -filepath ("123" + ".txt") -append
but the file 123.txt is always empty. Why ?

Write-Host will write text to console, not pipepeline so you'll always get nothing.
Consider changing function to this:
function TicketSolutionInformation {
Param(
[switch]$Passthru
Write-Host "User has been created." -ForegroundColor Green
if($Passthru){
"User has been created."
}TicketSolutionInformation -Passthru | Out-File -filepath ("123" + ".txt") -append

Firefox will not open when I click on it. It won't even let me open the profile manager. Uninstalling it and re-installing it does nothing. And it is driving me insane. I need firefox.

It will not open. No matter what I do.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

TS1717 Trying to download iTunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

Trying to download itunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

I solved the problem! The updates orignally were downloaded to the C: drive of the server. I've since moved them to the E: drive and for some reason the Content folder in IIS didn't change the file path to the new WSUScontent folder.
The root cause for this was failing to use the UTILITY designed for this very purpose.
I edited the virtual directory settings in IIS and was able to put the correct path in.
You still need to use the UTILITY.. to fix all the other stuff you're still missing.
In the %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Tools folder...
WSUSUTIL MOVECONTENT E:\WSUS E:\WSUS\MoveContent.LOG -SKIPCOPY
This problem was caused by moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.
No. This problem was caused by IMPROPERLY moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.

I just installed itunes 10 and all it does when i open it is show me the software agreement, and if I click "accept" or "decline" it closes and does nothing else. It does the same thing when i try to play music on it. (By the way, I have Windows XP SP3.)

I just installed iTunes 10 and all it does when I open it up is show me the software license agreement, and if I click either "accept" or "decline" it closes up and does nothing else. It does the same thing when I try to play mp3 files, just opens up the license agreement and nothing else. It also doesn't recognise my iPod touch when I plug it in, thinks it's a digital camera. Please help! (By the way, I have Windows XP SP3.)

Quicktime playback component for windows download & install - Having no success with installation. File says it is Winquicktime MPEG2 - upon clicking it asks what program to open with - any thoughts - I've redownloaded it and tried to have it run vs. download and the same thing happens.

Nope---didn't work. I've owned Macs for about 12 years so although I am brain dead on some things, I do have a working knowledge on most things. I only say that to say this--I did try holding down the mouse and choosing empty trash. It asks if I want to permanently delete what's in there. I say yes--and then I get the same identical message again-----'The operation can't be completed because the item "Firefox 8.0.1.dmg" is in use I can then click stop, or continue.' So apparently that complains the same way it does if I click it up on the menu :)))
As for item owned by---that's not an issue and isn't coming up. User is not a problem either as I am the only user on this system. There is only ONE file in my trash at the moment at that is this dmg file. Nothing Mac. Nothing owned by anyone other than Firefox. The problem seems to be that the dmg file and the original 4.0 FF file are working in tandem with each other--even though I have already drug the new 8.0 globe into the Apps folder and it updated the FF app with the new stuff. If I could force the dmg file to go away, I would do so, but at every turn the system is telling me it can't be done because it seems to think that dmg file is in use---even though everything is shut down and/or ejected. Hey--I'm getting ready to head out and won't be back till evening. I'll check back in this evening. Thank you again for your help.

I tried to download again, and still same thing. I am on a mac with latest OS. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

he is on a pc, we bought a subscription to the license and was told it's 180 a year or 14.99 monthly per user, on the business plan. So the sales rep on the phone walked us through adding the people who will be added to account who will need a license to use. the sales rep said that we just need to go to that section and add users and it will email the user a link to download the file and install
