When I try to install Firefox 3.6.12, I get a 7-Zip error message telling me the system can not find the path specified. How do I rectify this?

I downloaded the Firefox Setup 3.6.12 from the Firefox website. After I run the install. It extracts, then I get the error message.

Do a clean (re)install:
* 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.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* Delete the files and folders in the %temp% folder.
* 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.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

    Have a look at the solution to a similar problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/921375?s=%22Your+computer+must+be+restarted+to+complete+a+previous+upgrade+of+Firefox.+Do+you+want+to+reboot+now%3F%22&r=0&e=sph&as=s
    If that doesn't work, you can uninstall FF and do a clean install. You'll prob lose your bookmarks, history, etc, though, so if you do this set up Sync first! https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync-and-how-do-i-use-it

    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.

    Please try this: Copy the files formhistory.sqlite (or formhistory) and places.sqlite (or places) if they exist and delete the entire Mozilla folder in %APPDATA% and also the Firefox folder in Program Files.

  • When I try to install Firefox, windows asks me if I want to allow this program to make changes to my computer and then nothing happens whether I say yes or no?

    Question is asked by "user account control"

    Even if you are logged on with an Administrator account then you should still not run Firefox with Administrator permissions.<br />
    I would assume that is already installed, but if this is happening when you try to install Firefox then you need to right-click the Firefox installer and choose Run as Administrator to make sure to get the proper permissions to install the Firefox program and create the required registry keys.<br />
    Then you need to confirm that you want to install the program.<br />
    If Windows blocks the file because it is downloaded from internet then open the Properties via the right-click context menu and check the Security tab.

    I keep getting an error message that says "The administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" when I try to install iTunes.  I have tried everything on the website.  When i try to remove the components of iTunes I get the same message.  How can I download iTunes?

    Let's try something relatively simple. Download and save a copy of the installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet):
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Now right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) that you downloaded and select "Run as administrator".
    Does that go through any better for you?

    Hi, I just installed CS6 master collection from order history and when I try to enter Serial Number it tells me that: Serial number you provided is valid, but qualifying product can not be found on this computer. Then it gives me options under drop down menu but Master Collection CS6 is the only one not appearing in a drop down menu.

    Your CS6 must have been purchased as an upgrade.  What it is asking you to select/provide is the name/serial number of the previous version you purchased that qualifies you to install and activate the CS6 upgrade version... this would be likely be one of CS3 thru CS5.5.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
    In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • When I try to install extensions into Dreamweaver CC, I get the following dialogue box in the Extens

    When I try to install extensions into Dreamweaver CC, I get the following dialogue box in the Extension Manager CC:
    "Failed to update database. The extension will not be installed."
    What may the problem be?

    Good day to all,
    The problem that we were having was caused by a case difference between two folders, like Carl pointed out. The line that created the issue was written like this:
    <file source="File1.htm" destination="$dreamweaver/Configuration/Shared/MyExtensions"  />
    <file source="File2.htm" destination="$dreamweaver/Configuration/Shared/myExtensions"  />
    The correct folder was with an upper case ("MyExtensions").
    The extensions are now installing correctly however it seems to take significantly longer to install than on previous versions of EM (even previous version of EM CC). Has anyone been experiencing the same long install time? This only happens on Windows OS. On Mac the extension is installed pretty fast.
    Any idea how I could lower the install time? We do have a long list of files. Maybe try to use only folders instead of individual files?
    Cheers,
    Andrei
