Why do almost all themes fail to install in my v24?

Running Thunderbird 24.2.0 under Bodhi (Ubuntu) Linux. Working very well, syncing yahoo email via IMAP. Would like to install a theme or two that are easier on my eyes. I have found many excellent-looking themes, but cannot get most of them to install. For a few of them, I get the message "Theme so-and-so is not compatible with version 24.2.0." That's fine --- I understand. But in MOST cases, nothing at all happens, no message, no nothing. Very frustrating. I've only been able to install Charamel, Silvermel, and Nuvola, although I've tried at least a dozen others. None of the .jar (java) files have worked, and most of the .xpi don't either; and there are no error messages (explanations).
My procedure is:
Download the file
Go into the Add-Ons Manager
Click the little gear-wheel icon
Choose Install Add-On from file.....
Browse to the file and click
Voila! Nothing happens.
I am a rookie looking for help.
Many thanks, in advance!

I appreciate the continuing help! I installed TB31.0, which seems like a good idea - to get the security and bug fixes, which are more important than themes. Unfortunately, this killed the Charmel and Silvermel themes, which I liked best with TB24.2. Now I'm having trouble finding themes for TB31.0. Most of those I try say they are incompatible.
This is no big deal -- after all, it's just appearance and not performance. However, I wish I could find a page that lists TB Complete Themes and tells what versions of TB are supported by each. That would surely save a lot of messing around.
Again, I thank you for the ideas. I now have a newer, better version of TB, which I am using to view ALL my email accounts and to maintain a very nice address book.

  • Can't reinstall CS3.  "All Components Fail to Install"

    I had been running CS3 on Windows Vista 32. First received, out of the blue, the dreaded error that licensing had stopped working.  Was not able to rectify by the long list of ususual means.  Finally was instructed by adobe tech support to uninstall CS3 and reinstall.  Uninstall apparently successful (confirmed with Microsoft Fixit Tool that did find and fix some registry errors).  Can't reinstall CS3 either from DVD or from desktop.  Receive status report after install script finishes:  "All Components Failed to Install."  I have spent over 23 hours on this problem to no avail.  PLEASE HELP!

    Thanks for the reply, but I did all that already.  After much research and seeing what's worked for others, below is a rundown of what I've already tried...  (much of my process below came from http://na-na-sa-ra.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-to-re-install-adobe-cs3-after.html which I too had found and had hoped would help.)
    After attempting to uninstall CS3 from the control panel, I ran the Adobe CS3-5 cleaner, numerous times selecting various listed options during the script run.  After running each time, I ran the MS Fixit tool (http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall) that reportedly will "fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled".   After each run of the MS Fixit tool, I attempted to reinstall CS3 - the install script would run for a good long while, showing (slow) progression of a status bar, but in the end give a status report saying that all components failed to install.  Even though complete installation failed, Adobe CS3 would be on the list of programs in the control panel, so I would repeat an "uninstall" from the the control panel, and rerun the MS Fixit tool.  Sometimes the MS Fixit tool would find/correct problems, othertimes it would report that no problems were found.  I repeated this procedure for all the options given in the CS Cleaner Tool script without success.  Thinking it might be a problem with attempting to install from the DVD (which has never been a problem before), it was suggested to try installation from the desktop (copied all DVD files to a desktop folder).  Repeated the entire above process using the "desktop files" instead of the DVD.  No luck.  (...and phoning Adobe tech support was not productive - they sent me here to the forums.)
    Really appreciate you trying to help.  Have any other suggestions?

    Hi,
    If you laptop works well, don't update it. If not, don't use HP Support Assistant or any other program for updating/downloading the BIOS!! Download it:

  • Why does Adobe Application Manager fail to install?

    I just subscribed to the Creative Cloud. I am trying to download applications.  The download starts with an update to Application Manager.  Each time, I get the error message,"We've encountered the following issues:  Adobe Application Manager failed to install."  I'm not able to install any of the CC applications.  [I've tried Acrobat and Photoshop.]

    I'm going to write this information cause it was so darn frustrating and after two days I finally got it - so here goes - resolution:
    I'm running windows 7, and was trying to download cloud which apparently I was forced to do based on my subscription base (was on CS6 before that)
    Step 1: start task manager and close ALL adobe running apps including akami session
    Step 2: click on the windows icon and type in search bar %appdata%, enter
    Step 3: in browser bar above of folder, click on "appdata" (my file directory when i typed step two was C:\Users\study\AppData\Roaming, and I need to be be at C:\Users\study\AppData)
    Step 4: Click Local, then Adobe, then oobe, delete the oobe file
    Step 5: Go the the following to download the "cleaner tool": http://download.macromedia.com/pub/creativecloud/cleanertool/win/Adobe_Creative_Cloud_Clea ner_Tool.zip
    Step 6: Unzip the file and click on the AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool.exe, that was in my directory as follows (dependent on where you download and unzip of course) C:\Users\study\Downloads\adobe_creative_suite_cleaner_tool (1)\win
    Step 7: select (e) in the black box for "english", select (y) for yes, select creative cloud (whichever option # that is) and again anything with creative cloud (this did NOT delete my other adobe files, which I feared may - but I was simply instructing it to clean/delete the creative cloud.
    Step 8: close the black window
    Step 9: Click here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773  and download the creative cloud adobe application manager
    Step 10: Run the application
    Step 11: Log in and download the software you want
    If that doesn't work, what I did is between steps 4 and 5 I restarted my computer, then I went into task manager and closed all adobe apps.  I'm not sure I had to do this step but I was desperate after 2 days doing whatever.  Each tech person gave me different information.  The last person helped me best, but I spoke with her via chat AFTER I had rebooted the computer.  If you need support click http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and I personally did the "chat" so I wouldn't have to wait.
    Hope this helps anyone who hasn't figured it out!

    Im stuck help?
    Last edited by Stevearch (2014-11-30 11:58:56)

    You've only built the theme, you haven't actually told anything to invoke pacman to install anything
    If you're using makepkg, there's the -i flag that tells makepkg to install the build package with pacman.
    You can also install using pacman directly after building with pacman -U /path/to/pkg.

  • New CC Update, all programs fail to install?

    No Idea what is causing this. The Method to install the new programs is so unintuitive, how am I suppose to know what the issue is.

    It looks like the programs installed, but with some error. I will follow the instructions that it lays out

  • Why we need a proper Windows 7 install DVD with our netbooks...

    Because of things like this:
    -- Part 1 of email conversation with Microsoft Windows Update Support follows --
    Dear Scott,
    Thank you for prompt reply.  I want to thank you for your time and kind cooperation on this case.
    Based on the troubleshooting steps we have performed, it appears the issue is caused by some system corruption. At this point, I suggest we perform an In-place Upgrade to repair the system. I would like to tell you that the In-place Upgrade will not affect settings like photos, movies, documents, etc. that are saved on the computer.  However, it is recommended to first backup your important information and files to other partitions or other disks. Then please perform the following steps:
    Step 1: Turn off Windows features before performing an In-place Upgrade
    =======================================================
    1. Click Start, and click Control Panel.
    2. Click Classic View on the left pane, and double click Program and Features.
    3. Click "Turn Windows features on or off on the left" pane.
    4. In the Windows Features dialog box, uncheck all of the check boxes, and then click OK. 
    Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    Step 2: Perform In-place Upgrade
    =========================
    1. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in the computer's DVD drive.
    2. Click Start and choose Computer.
    3. Please find the "setup.exe" file in the DVD-ROM and double click it.
    4. Click Install now.
    5. When we are prompted to input the product key, please click Next without inputting any key. The setup wizard will prompt and ask if you agree to install Windows 7 without the key. Please choose to confirm.
    6. When you reach the "Which type of installation do you want" screen, click Upgrade to upgrade the system files of Windows 7.
    Note: While performing the In-place Upgrade, the system will restart automatically (several times) to merge the files and programs. Please leave the computer alone and do not configure it until In-place Upgrade is completed. The system will start Windows 7 once it is upgraded.
    When the In-place Upgrade finishes please restart the computer and run Windows Update again. If anything is unclear, please don't hesitate to let me know. I am glad to be of assistance.
    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Thank you for prompt reply. I have received your attachment and I want to thank you for your time and kind cooperation on this case.
    At this time, let’s refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
    Step 1: Run Microsoft Fix It Tool 50202 to reset Windows Update components
    ==========================================================
    1. Please download the tool from the following link:
    http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9665683
    2. When the file download window appears, please click "Save", and follow the directions to save it to your computer.
    3. Locate the downloaded file and double click it to run the tool.
    4. Follow the steps in the wizard. When you are prompted, please click to check the box before the Aggressive option.
    5. After it is finished, please restart the computer.
    Now try Windows Update to see if the issue has been resolved.
    I appreciate your understanding that it may take some time to troubleshoot this issue. I truly hope the problem can be resolved by our mutual efforts. Thanks for your patience and cooperation.
    I am looking forward to your reply.

    Thanks for your reply,
    Unfortunately this hasn't totally solved the issue - now, although Windows Update 'completes', it reports that the following three updates have failed:
    KB980182
    KB980302
    KB978262
    I also tried the instructions you gave in your previous email again, just in case that made any difference, but it did not.
    Is there a way to get these updates to work?

    Hi Judy,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I think you may have slightly misunderstood the issue - it is not that the KB978262 does not download, nor is it that the update process completes and says that KB978262 hasn't been installed correctly.
    KB978262 downloads OK, and it start installing, it just never completes installing and Windows Update just sits there, not getting any further (see screenshot in attached zip file).
    Also, I had already tried everything you suggested, but tried them all again - it still fails to install.
    I have, as requested, attached a zip file containing a screenshot, system info and windows update log.
    Thanks in advance,
    Scott Hill.

    Subject: [Microsoft] Email Regarding Case ID <removed>
    Dear Scott,
    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Windows Update Support. My name is Judy, and I am glad to work with you. For your reference, the case ID for this service request is <removed>. You can contact me directly by sending an email to @mssupport.microsoft.com with the case ID in the subject line.
    From the case log, I understand that you can not obtain the update KB978262. If there has been any misunderstanding, please let me know.
    I fully understand the inconvenience you have experienced. We will work together to resolve this issue through the course of the case.
    This issue can be caused by one of the following factors:
    1. The Windows Update service has been stopped.
    2. Corrupted Windows Update Temporary folder.
    In order to narrow down the cause of this issue and resolve it, please refer to the following steps. After finishing each step, please check the result again on the Windows Update website.
    NOTE: Some third party programs can affect the Windows Update service. If you are running any third party applications such as Spyblocker, Internet or web accelerators (programs designed to boost the speed of the Internet connection), security or anti-virus programs (Norton, McAfee, etc.), I recommend we temporarily disable or shut them down and then try accessing Windows Update later. Please understand that we are disabling these programs only for the purpose of troubleshooting and we can re-enable these programs after we finish troubleshooting.
    Step 1: Clean boot
    ========================
    This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service. Please perform the following steps:
    1. Click the "Start" Button, type "msconfig" in the search bar and press Enter.
    Note: Please click the Continue if the "User Account Control" window pops up.
    2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
    3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".
    Then, restart the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System"
    4. Test if we can update the system in Clean Boot.
    Note 1: Temporarily disabling the Startup Group only prevents the startup programs from loading at startup. This shouldn't affect the system or other programs. We may still manually run these programs later.
    Note 2: We can check on Normal Startup in the General tab to roll back to Normal Mode after we get this issue resolved.
    Step 2: Rename the Windows Update Softwaredistribution folder
    ================================================
    1. Click "Start", in "Start Search" item, type: "notepad" (without quotes) and press Enter.
    2. Copy the following commands and then paste them into the opened Notepad window:
    net stop wuauserv
    net stop CryptSvc
    ren %windir%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.old
    ren %windir%\SoftwareDistribution sold.old
    net start CryptSvc
    net start wuauserv
    3. After pasting the above commands, please close the Notepad window. Choose "Save" when you are prompted to save the file. Type "rename.bat" as the file name and choose Desktop from the left panel as the location.
    4. Refer to the Desktop and right click the rename.bat file, then choose "Run as administrator".
    5. You will see a DOS-like window processing.
    Please test the issue again and let me know the result. If the issue persists, I will help you check the Internet Connection in our next communication. To clarify the issue and provide more accurate troubleshooting steps, please assist me in collecting the following information.
    How to capture a screenshot
    ======================
    1. Press the Print Screen key (PrtScn) on your keyboard.
    2. Click the "Start" Button, type "mspaint" in the Search Bar and Press Enter.
    3. In the Paint program, click the "Edit" menu, click "Paste". Then click the "File" menu, and click "Save".
    4. The "Save As" dialogue box will appear. Type a file name in the "File name:" box, for example: "screenshot".
    5. Make sure "JPEG (*.JPG;*.JPEG;*.JPE;*.JFIF)" is selected in the "Save as type" box, click "Desktop" on the left pane and then click "Save".
    Please send this saved JPEG file to my email account at <removed>@mssupport.microsoft.com
    How to collect the System Information
    =============================
    The System Information can provide us with more information about the current status of the system. I would like to check it for you. Please send it to me using the following steps:
    1. Click the "Start" Button, type "MSINFO32" in the Search Bar and press Enter to start System Information.
    2. On the popup window, on the menu bar, click "File", and click "Save", type a file name and then choose NFO as "Save as type", click "Desktop" on the left pane, and click Save.
    Please send it as an attachment to <removed>@mssupport.microsoft.com. If the file is too large to be sent, please right-click on the exported file, choose "Send To" -> "Compressed (zipped) Folder", and then send the zip file to <removed>@mssupport.microsoft.com for further research.
    How to collect the WindowsUpdate.log file
    ================================
    1. Click the "Start" Button, type "WindowsUpdate.log" (without the quotes) in the Search Bar and Press Enter. We will see a file named "WindowsUpdate.log"
    2. Now click on the "File" menu and then click on the "Save As".
    3. From the left panel, click "Desktop" and click the Save button.
    The file will be saved to your Desktop. Please send the file as an attachment in an email to <removed>@mssupport.microsoft.com.
    Note: When attaching files to emails, the process will vary depending on the email application being used. While you are composing the email, most applications will provide you with either an "Attach" button or Paper Clip Icon to click in order to attach a file. After clicking this button/icon you must browse to the file you wish to attach and select it by either double clicking it or clicking it once and then clicking on the "Attach" button.
    Please try my suggestion and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    I am standing by for your response.
    Best Regards,
    Judy xxxx

  • Drivers Failing to Install

    I own an HP G62 Notebook PC, and my warrenty expires in 4 days. Iv'e had this problem for awhile but it hasn't affected me too much. The problem is that my USB controllers can't install properly. When I plug in a flash driver it will show that it is installing the device, but then will say failed to install. It will reconise the flash driver as a "Flash Disk". When my computer starts up it will try to install my Universial Serial Bus Controllers but all of them fail to install.  
    I have attempted to install the drivers manually off the website but it will say " An error occured while trying to install", it will say the same when i attempt to update the devices from the Device Manager. The thing is I use a pen tablet (mostly as a mouse) for my computer. When I plug it in it will say failed to install but the tablet will work fine. Other than that other devices like flash drives and printers fail to install. And the drivers encounter errors every time I try to install. 
    So my question. Do you think this is a problem with my motherboard? Because if it is I would have to make sure to get it replaced before my warrenty runs out on the 23rd. Or is there a way to fix this? In the Device Manager there is no yellow triangle that pops up next to the USB controllers. There is only one next to the Microsoft Virual WiFi Miniport Adapter_01, which I don't think is in the way of the problem.

    New Information:
    A Flash Drive that I use to use on my laptop works fine. But any other flash drives such as ones from other people and ones not used before will not install.

    The top listed error message are meaningless and not fatal.
    Note that posting a couple of out of context messages is completely meaningless though. Please post the entire relevant, unedited snippets of the ccmsetup.log file.

  • Updates failing to install

    I have 7 VM's running on Hyper-V and all of them fail to install updates, all running Server 2012's. Updates seem to be installing fine, until the reboot and the dreaded "Failed to install updates - Reverting" screen. I've tried the DISM commands
    with no luck. I did not try installing these updates individually yet, should I?
    Thanks for any input.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your feedback and glad to hear that the issue was solved.

  • WLAN driver fails to install on G580 Windows 7 x64 with error "BCM4313: Can not find setup file"

    Summary:
    I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my G580.  Everything is working fine except the WLAN driver fails to install with the error "BCM4313: Can not find setup file".
    Details:
    I bought lenovo G580 with Windows 8.  Since my parents are not comfortable with the learning curve of Win 8, I successfully downgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate x64.  Everything is working fine but my WLAN card is not recognized because of lack of driver.
    The lenovo parts look-up page says I have broadcom WLAN card - CBT BCM4313 MOW HMC WLAN
    I looked at lenovo driver downloads site and tried following driver files for Windows 7 and both of them failed to install with the following error.  I tried installing other WLAN drivers also but they won't even install as required hardward is not there.
    Error -  "BCM4313: Can not find setup file"
    Drivers Tried:
    - http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.p​age?DocID=DS028105
    - http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.p​age?DocID=DS028208
    Any help about how to get past this error will be appreciated.  The previous Widnows verison (Windows 8) is still on my hard-drive as windows.old folder.  Let me know if I can copy a specific file from there.
    Thank you.
    BJS
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Download this driver bcm4313
    Start setup and extract the files.After that go to star menu/control panel/system/device manager.There you probably find out that network adapter driver is missing.Choose it and click with right mb for drop menu to show up.Select properties then Driver/Update Drivers...Select to load driver from computer hard drive and choose the path where extract files is.Default path is main partion C: and search for directory named Driver.
    And yes...you get "Can not find setup file" error but dont worry.Files needed to instal driver are extract fine.

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you. 
    If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.
