Newly installed SAP881 PL04. Cannot install the client

Hi Experts,
I installed a new full install SAP881 PL04. The server components installed correctly. However, when I try to install the client it shows that the client and SDK are already installed. I check the add/remove programs but either the SAPB1 client and the SAP SDK does not show up there either.
Please advise how to proceed.
Thank you in advance.
Jose

Hi Gordon,
You are right. This machine has prior version of the SAP 88 client and SAP SDK installed. The versions were removed using the add/remove programs. But most likely the registry did not get clean up correctly.
I will keep you posted how I progress. Thank you for the tip. It give me some excellent hint how to proceed.
Regards,
Jose

Error: "FT DeepDark 11.3.1 could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file." What does this mean?

In an earlier version (Firefox v.31) on this, and (presently) on two other PC's, I was/am able to run add-on FT DeepDark 11.3.1 without any problems. It was only recently - after updating to v.32.0.3 on this PC that this situation started. The PC in question is a Dell Dimension 8400 Intel P4 running Windows 7, though I'm thinking it may have something to do with the newer version of Firefox. Could anyone help me with this? I like this add-on because it is easier in my eyes when browsing the internet. Thanks
PS: Attempted to install the troubleshooter, and again I received a similar error: "Troubleshooter could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file."

This error has been reported before in this bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730040#c21
Please read that bug I linked you to and let me know if the last comment in the bug solves your problem. Apparently the problem is about the addon .xpi file being read-only. Try right-clicking it, going to Properties and unchecking the "Read-only" attribute box at the bottom of the dialog. Click Apply, then OK.

Got help fixing my youtube problem, now that is working. In the process of making the fix, lost my aol set up. Re installed it, but cannot access the icon. How do i get my AOL back?

If it's an application, it should be in the Applications folder. If in doubt, double click on the hardrive icon to open it up, then press Command+F (find) and in the window that comes up for what you want to find, type in AOL and it should appear. You can either drag it to the Dock for easy access or make an alias of that, and drag that alias to the Dock. Oh, and just so's you know, this forum is for Desktop macs only. We may be able to answer your question about a MacBook Pro. Same kind of animal, but different breeds.

Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....

Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....is there some trick I am missing or do I need to make an appointment with a genius...

I have the MacIntosh volume and the Boot Camp partition only. I know that when I installed Lion, I had to go through a whole back-up and recovery of Windows and then re-format the drive.
The tech at the Apple Store had a previous life as a MSCE and was very helpful. I believe he even said that I should not have htis problem with Mountain Lion which is why they gave me the flash with it onboard. I was in the process of starting a new job when I went to Lion, so I have waited to do this next and probably last upgrade to this old MBP since I doubt Apple will support this MBP in Maverick.
I do not have another installation, so that is not an option. I will try to create an external, I have plenty of hard drives around and see if I can get it done that way. It might take me a week or two to get back to it, but I will comment back upon completion of that effort. Thanks for your help....Dave Iverson

I am unable to install "Springpad extension" It states "could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file"

I have just installed Firefox 4.0. I cannot install the extension called Springpad extension, found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/springpad/
I click add to Firefox, it downloads, prompts me that the author is not verified and I click 'Install Now'. It then says "Springpad extension could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file". What am I missing here?

Unable to get Springpad Browser Extension to show up on my browser even though it is with-in my existing add-ons. I was having problems with the Springpad Browser Extension so I thought I would uninstall it and reinstall it but that hasn't worked. So I would like to know how to get it back so I can use it. When I go to the help button and click add-ons to search for Springpad, it does not come up in the results. So I tried using the link on my Springpad homepage website, but it didn't work. Then I searched Firefox support and found this post and tried installing it using the link here. It shows up now in my list of existing add-ons, but when I enabled it, it did not show up on my browser as a clickable icon I can use to spring a web-site. I'm stuck now!
However, the reason for uninstalling it is there is no longer a"back arrow, the + sign, home, or scissors" at the top of the Springpad Browser Extension for Firefox? I have to log out and back in in order to get back to my notebooks because I am unable to get to them without a home button or a back button...and now I can't just click the scissors to spring a web-page. How are we supposed to spring a web-page now?
Disappointed,
Angela

When going through the download process with social monkee and getting to the point of adding it to firefox I get the following message: 'Social Monkee could not be installed because firefox cannot modify the needed file'. How can this be fixed?

That is usually caused by a missing unpack directive (<em:unpack>true</em:unpack>) in the file install.rdf of that extension.
See https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Updating_extensions_for_Firefox_4.0#XPI_unpacking

The installation was canceled: Install Windows: Windows cannot open the required file E:\sources\install.wim Error code: 0x80070570

I have a Windows XP computer and accidentally formatted the C:\ Drive. I then decided to buy the Windows Vista CD installation and popped it into the CD Drive, there was a problem with the Drive so I had to move it onto a USB Drive instead(on another computer).
When I booted my PC(C: Drive formatted) all went well until I typed in the product key and clicked next. It shows a dialog box:
Install Windows
Windows cannot open the required file E:\Sources\Install.wim. The file may be
corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and
restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070570
I am in urgent need of help immediately. Please help me!
P.S. and thanks for advance for any help. Sorry for anyone with the same problem.

It sounds like there's a problem with that file. You will need to re-copy the files to USB or even re-download the operating system from Microsoft.

[Add-on] could not be installed because firefox cannot modify the needed file

I've tried both Zotero & Firefox forums with no success:
Zotero could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file.
I've deleted my cache, restarted firefox and computer, tried in various versions of Firefox (currently 8.0 which the add-on store says is compatible). I'm running brand new Mac with Windows for Mac 2011, have tried downloading in Safari & dropping into Firefox, from the Firefox add-ons and directly from the site. The add-ons says - unable to install & both the other methods list the above error (cannot modify the needed file).
Thanks in advance.

This can be a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache, extensions.rdf) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.<br />
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":

* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is an update.

You usually get this error if you try to install an extension that needs to be unpacked to work properly.<br />
Current Firefox version do not unpack an extension automatically, but rename the xpi file to the extension's GUID.
An extension that needs to be unpacked should have an unpack flag in its install.rdf file
<pre><nowiki><em:unpack>true</em:unpack></nowiki></pre>
*https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Updating_extensions_for_Firefox_4.0#XPI_unpacking
You can try to set the extensions.alwaysUnpack pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page.
The extension seems to install, but I haven't tested if it works.

Add-on could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the necessary file.

I see that for the issue:
<Add-on> could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the necessary file.
The usual fixes include:
- ensuring that xpinstall.enabled is set to true
- ensuring that extensions.alwaysUnpack is set to true
What might be the non-usual fixes as I have set both to true and I still get the message above.
I have tried installing the <add-on> after I have set the values to true, then again after restarting my browser, then again after restarting my computer and finally tried creating a new profile and repeated each of the steps after setting the 2 preferences to true.

Can you at least update to the latest Firefox 10.0.10 ESR version?
Firefox 10.0.x ESR:

How can we avoid installing java3d runtime envoirnment on the client side

Hi All, my applet uses java3d api. To see this applet in the browser on the client side we need to install java3d runtime envoirnment. Is it neccassary or can we avoid it. If we can avoid installing java3d runtime env , how can we do that.. Can Java WebStart help in this.
your suggestion will be valuable..
Thanks
Akhil

Yes, of course we can avoid it. Just as we can avoid asking the user to download the JRE if they want to run java.
The only slight pay off we make for that is that the program won't run at all on their computer.
As long as this is not an issue, there should be no problem.
Seriously, my understanding is that Web-Start can hide the fact that we are installing Java 3D on their machine or at least make the installation very simple. There is no way to run Java3D applications without Java3D.

5 of my apps in the app store on my I pad are frozen at installing. I cannot access the apps to usze them or complete the update process.

My ipad app store is frozen for 5 apps insalling. I cannot access the apps or finish installing updates

If the App Store itself is frozen, quit the app completely and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If the updates themselves have stalled - try some of these things and see if they help.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

Installing leopard, error : cannot install software on this computer

hi
i have a macbook 13 inch, new, it's been one month bought it.
i have tiger 10.4.11 and i want to upgrade to leopard.
i had this install disk ( leopard 10.5).
the problem is that, while installing, when i choose the language, an error pop up saying:" cannot install software on this computer"
i have an intel macbook of course
plz help
thx

Most of the problems I see of this nature are being caused by people trying to use a "Drop-In" upgrade DVD that was designed for a specific machine.
The problem is that some people think they can run any 'friends' upgrade DVD to upgrade their Mac also.
If this is what's happening, and your computer is really only a month old, then you probably qualify for some type of upgrade from Apple. Or you will have to buy a retail version of Leopard to upgrade your machine.
