Tried to install Firefox but an error message "Extraction failed - cannot open output file" always pops up, without a reason. Why's this happening?

Try to disable your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes it work.
You may need to delete the temp folder (%TEMP%) to remove the old files.

"Extraction Failed: Cannot Open Output File" error message when installing new drivers

Hello, I'm trying to install new drivers for my HP Photosmart C4385 Printer. I downloaded the full feature drivers for Windows XP 32-bit, and when I start to install (extract), I get the error message:
Extraction Failed
Cannot Open Output File
And the process closes. It happens at about 85% extraction every time.
Any idea why? I called HP but since it is out of warranty they wanted money, which I think as absolutely ridiculous - won't even give me basic support?? Poor, poor customer service.
This question was solved.

Hi,
If you haven't still got the Full Feature software installer, download it from the link below and save it to your Desktop. If you already have it, place it on your Desktop.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software10/COL20274/mp-53147-4/100_228_PS_AIO_02_Full_USW_enu_NB.exe
Make sure the Printer is disconnected from your PC.
Download and install 7-ZIP. Once installed, right click on the software installer for your printer, select 7-Zip and choose extract files, then click Ok.
Open the newly extracted folder and double click the setup application to start the installation ( the setup application will probably have the same icon as the original software installer you downloaded ). Connect the printer to your PC when the software asks.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
DP-K

I can't install Firefox. Get a message saying "can not open output file" Firefox version 3.6.6

Firefox stopped working after updating. I uninstalled it and downloaded latest version 3.6.6. Before that 3.6.3.
When I try to install, I get a message "Extraction Failed.. Can not open output file" . I trie d former versions, all with the same result. I've already ran several antivirus and anti-malware, spyware.. etc.
Everything else works fine, except for Firefox...

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
If you keep having problems then disable your security software (anti-virus) during the download and installation of Firefox.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

HP DESKJET INK ADVANT K209a-z, extraction fialed : error message "0 cannot open output file"

D/Sir,
I have extracted hp deskjet int advant k209a-z driver using 7zip.
I was getting the error "Extraction Failed: Cannot Open Output File".
On extract with 7-zip, I get the message:
0 can not open output file "<folders>/Autorun.inf"
I am on business laptop with Windows XP but tried with Admininstrator login as well.
Please help me. How to extract it sucessfully?

That type of error message may be indicative of a bad file. Did you download it on the web? If so, try again, but do not use a download manager or program to do it, those can occasionally cause problems with compressed files.
It could be possible, also, that some sort of security program on your laptop is blocking the extraction process. If that is the case you should be able to find some error in the Windows event viewer through the control panel.

Firefox setup 9.0.1 exe won't extract (cannot open output file)

I downloaded firefox 9.0.1 and it won't extract and install on a win7 computer. It says cannot open output file. I had previous versions of firefox for 10 years. I tried disabling AV and firewall also. Please help. Nate

Thank you! My solution was slightly different, but in the end, seeing what was going on in the Help menu in the browser did the trick. Turned out I had been stuck for who knows how long "downloading" a version 3! Also had a toolbar to disable but not the Ask.

I just tried to update Firefox to version 9.0.1. It got to 13% extracting, then I got an error message, Cannot Open Output File. Can you please help me?

The file could be downloaded incorrectly. Could you redownload it again from [http://getfirefox.com http://getfirefox.com]?

After trying to install Mavericks, got an error message my hard drive was bad. Took it in to the Apple Store and the 'Genius' bar guy couldn't see it as an external drive when he connected another Macbook. If I get another hard drive what's involved in getting my system operational again?

Hi there
Looks like I may be experiencing a similar issue to yours as having issues installing Maverick on snow leopard?

When I try to download firefox I get this error "cannot open output file". I had firefox once but uninstalled it now I cant' reinstall. Why?

I had firefox but uninstalled it because of problems with add on Recipefox. Now when I try to reinstall it I get and error message "cannot open output file". I really liked firefox, How do I get it back?

When you click the download link on [http://getfirefox.com GetFirefox.com], you should be asked if you wish to Run or Save the file. If the described situation happens when trying to Run the download, try instead to Save it and put the file on your Desktop or a similar place where you are certain that you can find it again.
When the download is complete, try double-clicking the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from My Computer). This should start the installation.
If you notice in the Explorer window that the file seems to be lacking the Firefox orange/blue icon, rightclick the file and select Properties. The picture should look somewhat like the attached picture (except that mine's in danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it does NOT look like this, please describe the contents or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File type" - it should be "Program"; if it's not, we'll have to look into what the problem could be here.
Slightly off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit out of date (IE 6, where current version is IE 8), so I would strongly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system updated. If this is a company system (like a Terminal Server thin client machine), this may not be possible, and your system administrator will most likely have to help you.

I just purchased Photoshop 13 for PC MS Windows 8.1 In trying to install, I get the following message after clicking on the 2nd file. "The file archive part of Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 is missing.

Hi,
Have you tried downloading Photoshop Elements 13 from here?

There is only one file to download - which one depends on your system (32-bit or 64-bit).
These are the trial versions but will convert to the full version when you supply your serial number.

Error message "The system cannot find the file specified." when reinstalling C3180 drivers

Hello,
I experienced scanning problems with my C3180 and the error message indicated several solutions, including to reinstall the driver.
I worked my way through the list of fixes to this option. I uninstalled the drivers, downloaded
File name:
AIO_CDA_NonNet_Full_Win_WW_130_140.exe [1/1, 290.27M]
from www.hp.com/support and attempted to install.
Just after the accept licensing screen, the system begins a screen with four steps, the first of which is Checking System. Shortly after starting this, I receive the error message "The system cannot find the file specified.". The file name may be in the message header, but I cannot determine it due to the path length. It is off the displayed screen. (see screen image capture)
Closing the pop-up error message or clicking OK terminates the installation.
I am re-installing on a Dell Latitude E6510, running Windows 7 Professional, Service Pack 1, 64 bit. The printer was connected via USB, but I have disconnected for this stage of the install.
I appreciate any assistance/advice you can offer.

The NLS operation failed because the registry key Control Panel\International\User Profile cannot be opened. Error code is 2. Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.

H,
Since upgrading Windows server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 Standard edition, we get this repetitious critical error in the event log:
Event 1001
Op Code NLS initialization
The NLS operation failed because the registry key Control Panel\International\User Profile cannot be opened. Error code is 2. Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.
We originally found that the regional date settings after changing them in regional settings (DD/MM/YYYY) and they did not inherit properly from the upgrade but they are ok now.
I've looked at HKCU\.Default\Control Panel\International and nothing looks obviously wrong. Country codes, time & date formats are correct.
How do we ascertain the cause of this error and the specific registry key that might be problematic?

Hi,
This could be caused by firewall rules or security softwares.

And in addition, the fix is worth a try.
Nothing happens when you double-click "Region" in Control Panel
