  • I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

    I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

    Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
    If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
    If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

  • Cannot write to transaction log "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\sqlanywhere\database\BI4_Audit.log

    Hi friends,
    My server Intelligence Agent (SIA) can not start because the database service "SQLAnywhereForBI" can't start also. I got the following error :
    "I . 08/09 20:35:06. A read failed with error code: (1392), Le fichier ou le répertoire est endommagé et illisible.
    E. 08/09 20:35:06. Fatal error:  cannot write to transaction log "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\sqlanywhere\database\BI4_Audit.log"

    inside the database log file.
    Please, can you help me

    I found the solution by following the advice given on the following forum:
    http://evtechnologies.com/transaction-logs-on-sybase-sql-anywhere-and-sap-​​businessobjects-bi-4-1
    In fact, I crushed the BI4_Audit.db and BI4_Audit.log files and I replaced with others that I got from another machine where I installed BO again and where the files are not corrupted . After I logged in to the CMS database by executing the command in the command line:
    dbisql -c "UID = DBA; PWD = mypassword; BI4 Server =; DBF = C: \ Program Files (x86) \ SAP BusinessObjects \ sqlanywhere \ database \ BI4_CMS.db."
    Once connected, I start the command:
    alter database 'C: \ Program Files (x86) \ SAP BusinessObjects \ sqlanywhere \ database \ BI4_Audit.db' alter log off;
    The query runs successfully.
    And that's good, I can be connected to BO smoothly.
    Thank you again Eric

  • Error while writing to file: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ iTunes \ iTunes.Resources \ el.Iproj \ iTunesExtrasDownload.png. Make sure you have access to this directory.

    When i try to install iTunes in my Windows 7, this error message apear "Error while writing to file: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ iTunes \ iTunes.Resources \ el.Iproj \ iTunesExtrasDownload.png. Make sure you have access to this directory." Someone help me!!

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • How to configure the zxp so that it will place the related files for the panel in specific folder other than the usual 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files \Adobe\CEPServiceManager4\extensions\' folder ?

    Hi,
    I am Working on a panel for Adobe Premiere pro CC, Now we got a panel set up which will install all the related folders and files which are part of the Extension content folder in the
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files \Adobe\CEPServiceManager4\extensions \Panel\CONFIG folder. But we need to change this location to C:\Users\USER\APPDATA folder or any other user specified folder during installation itself.
    Is there any way to do this from extension builder?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Anoop NR

    Thanks guys,
    Got it !! Hybrid extensions.
    I am using Adobe Extension builder 3 in Eclipse to code and create the zxp for Premiere pro panel.
    Seeing the hybrid extension part in  HTML Panels Tips: #10 Packaging / ZXP Installers | Photoshop, etc. I have added a hybrid extension panel using the bundle manifest editor in the extension builder. it creates an mxi file automatically with all the properties, I have to change the maximum host version number in the mxi file in order to make the extension work in the Premiere pro CC 2014. Using the Hybrid option in the Bundle manifest editor we can choose a set of folder paths for placing the files during installation itself and later can be used using 'csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.CODE)' from javascript functions to modify them.
    Thanks for your relpies,
    Anoop NR

  • Itunes was working fine. Tries to install latest upgrade and get error message about an invalid character in the path "Program Files (x86)". PC, Win7, nothing else appears to be having same issue.

    Itunes was working fine. Tried to install latest upgrade and get error message about an invalid character in the path "Program Files (x86)". PC, Win7, nothing else appears to be having same issue. Program still works, simply cannor upgrade.

    Thanks b noir,
    I tried this solution without success. After FixIt ran and didn't find a problem, either in looking for issues with "software upgrade" or "iTunes" it kindly offered to help me uninstall iTunes. I had thought of this as a possibilty but it seems to me that if you do that you lose a lot of "non-native-to-Apple" information you might have entered. I did this once and recovery was painfull. Is there a way to uninstall iTunes without losing all of that sort of thing? Any help would be appreciated.

  • Keep getting a Runtime Error  Program Files (x86)...  R6034  An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.  Also another pop up - Error 7 (Windows error 1114)

    I updated itunes.  Now it doesn't run.  I keep getting -" Runtime error Program Files (x86)...itunes helper  R6034  An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.  Please contact support team."
      Well how do you do that without owning a MAC?  This error pops up every time I start my computer.  The other pop up says Error 7 (Windows error 1114)
      I have uninstalled itunes and re-installed it (I still get the pop up after itunes was uninstalled.) 
      I can't find a restore point before the latest update.  And I can't run itunes on my Windows 7 computer.  Any advice out there?

    Do the following:
    Uninstall from Windows the following five programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
    Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
    Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator.

    Apple's advice on this issue can now be found here: TS5376: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open.
    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 the user tip Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suggested strategy.
    If you have difficulty downloading the iTunes setup file try clearing your browser's cache or using an alternate browser.
    If content is missing from the library following the repair see Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

    Thanks,

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • I have no directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin"

    I installed and few times reinstalled Visual Studio 2013 Community Update 4 from ISO and web installer, SHA-1 is correct. However every time installation process didn't create this directory (also its subdirectories and included files):
    C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin
    In registry I have entries about MSBuild 12.0 including path to mentioned directories (...\bin and ...\bin\_amd64). Also during creation of project I receive errors:
    "Unable to read project... The imported project... C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.targets was not found. Confirm..."
    It's understandable, because I have only these files and subdirectories in C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0:
    Microsoft.Common.props, Microsoft.VisualStudioVersion.v12.Common.props, Microsoft.Common.Targets (directory and its subdirectory: "ImportAfter" that includes files: Microsoft.VisualStudio.ReleaseManagement.BuildInfo.ImportAfter.Targets, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Silverlight.SDKTools.targets).
    I don't have subdirectory: ...\bin and its content.
    I tried install Microsoft Build Tools 2013 but without result. Everything I did on Administrator account on Windows 7 x64.
    I don't want to reinstall OS, so could anyone send me entire directory: "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin" (with subdirectories and msbuild.exes (x86, x64))?

    Hello starjacker0,
    I have a new installed Visual Studio which installed Visual Studio 2013 and I can see the folder you showed. Hence, I think your problem is pending on your installation and I recommend we focus on this installation problem first.(I'm not allowed to send
    you these files on the forum.)
    Please navigate to your %temp% folder and find the following logs out:
    Or you can use  http://aka.ms/vscollect 
    to gather the installation logs. After using it, you will find vslogs.cab from %temp% folder. Please upload the file to OneDrive and share the link for me, I will help you analyze this file. The log can tell us the reason why it cannot create files under
    that folder.
    If you have collected the logs, please try clear your %temp% folder and restart the MSBuild installation. I suspect VS installer cannot overwrite the %temp% folder which may cause your problem. However, you know, without logs I'm also not sure of the reason.
    Best regards,
    Barry
