Windows can't open .msi file-

I've tried for almost a week to upgrade to Safari for the Windows 3.0.4, but keep getting an error message saying that Windows doesn't recognize the .msi file that the update is using. I've tried a number of "Windows" fixes, to no avail. Can anyone help me? I use this old Dell so my wife can still access her bank online. Please help me solve the problem, or give me one helluvan excuse to finally trash the Dell and get a Mac. Thanks. Of course, before I do that, I'll have to get rid of the IIc and the Mac LC and LS that I have in the basement...

I answered my own question. If you download the "Silverlight" upgrade to Windows (I guess it's a bridge between XP and Vista), then the download/install of the update of Saffari for Windows installs and runs. Interesting that Microsoft never let the rest of us know. But, then again, they usually soak a user for all he/she is worth by getting them to BUY stuff. Thank goodness this time it was a free download.

"Firefox 11.0.exe.part " Windows can't open this file.

I have been asked 3 times to update my Firefox over the past few days. Each time I tried it, Windows says it cannot open this file, or that it needs to know who created it. Then the next day I am told once again that I have to update Firefox. This is annoying to me.

The extension, ".part" indicates an incomplete download. Delete the file and re-download the update.

Installer build: When run, error: Windows can't open this file xyz.vi

Hello all, I've taken my vi. I"ve created it as an executable. I've taken that...and made an Installer project... This is with LV 2011, and installing to Win7. The installer seems to work fine...but when I try to run the application from the start menu, I get a windows error, saying it doesn't know what to do with my file xyz.vi...that it needs to know what application to open it with....? Any ideas what to do here? The installer seems to install the NI runtime engine just fine...? Would this be due to, on the Installer builder...setting the vi to be read-only and hidden? When I'd done this a previous time, I believe it all worked then... Suggestions? Thank you, cayenne

Please disregard...I found the problem after going through the older working one....
Late nights and working two jobs...you start to overlook things.
FOr the dependency, I'd put the vi instead of the exe of the vi.....that did the trick.
Thanks all,

Every time i open mozilla up a box with a red x pops up saying windows can't open a file and big long message. how do i stop that from happening.

Check your list of home pages to see if a home page is causing the problem. You can try changing your home page to see if that helps - [[How to set the home page]].
Another possible cause is an extension or theme causing the problem. Try the procedure in the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.

Hi. I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, It worked yesterday. Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files. I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow. I have deleted and reinstalled the application. I have rebooted. I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program. Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message. It simply says Attempt to access invalid address. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Hi Don,
I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
BEFORE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
AFTER:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.

Error while opening pdf in reader in windows 8:Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format

I have a problem with a pdf file which does not open with reader in windows 8 but it opens properly with adobe pdf reader. All other pdf can be opened in reader.But when i open a pdf(see this link for pdf for which i got error http://incometaxsoft.com/temp/Form.pdf)
it gives error as "Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format".
The same file opens properly in adobe pdf reader.You can check the pdf file which i have mentioned in the link above.But the reader which comes with windows 8 can open some other pdf in the same PC.What may be the error causing this??

This has turned out to be an enormous issue for me as I sell PDF files as ebooks. I have done a fair amount of investigating this for my system.
My files have to be compatible not just across readers but across operating systems.
To date, I have over 200 PDFs that have functioned flawlessly across Mac, PC (Windows 7 and below), Android, iPhone/iPad, Linux.
I personally test my PDFs using a variety of readers and PDF editors including
PDF XChange (my favorite)
Foxit (runner up for me and I recommend for most people)
Adobe (the bloated monster)
Nitro 9 (great for moving graphical elements around)
ABBYY
And the Nuance PDF Create toolsets
Those are off the top of my head. There are a bunch on Android that I test with too.
I am running the Windows 10 Pro Tech Preview and I have this same problem so I know it isn't fixed yet in any kind of pre-release way (-sigh-)
Here is what I've learned for my situation
The PDFs I created using NUANCE'S PDF CREATE PROFESSIONAL VERSION 8
all fail using the built-in Windows 8/10 PDF reader.
When I look at the PDF properties for these Nuance created files, the underlying engine used to write them is called "ImageToPDF". Using ABBYY it indicates their own engine as does everyone else that I've tried. It is easy for you to check to see
what created your PDF by doing a "Control D" (look at the document properties). Perhaps there's a common engine causing issues.
If I use the exact same source files to create a PDF using any of my other tools I have no issues. I checked the PDF versions made by the tools and they are all set to 1.5.
A customer mentioned being able to convert them in a way they worked by saving them without having to do any kind of extraction, but I have not been able to duplicate that. Perhaps he did a "print" which seems like it could work.
In summary, the workaround everyone is talking about, using an alternate reader, of course works. But not everyone wants to change.
The culprit I have found is my Nuance PDF Creation tools that are using the ImageToPDF engine.
I hope it gets FIXED as I really don't want to have to regenerate all of my PDF files.

I am running Vista and Windows Mail, I can not open PDF files when in Windows Mail, I must save to Desktop first, this has changes recently and I do not know why or how to fix.
Why after 6 year's this has changed?
I would like to open PDF's straight from Window Mail.

Good day Jeff.
I am running most current Adobe Reader X.

Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

Hello,
after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
Many thanks!

I had to install adobe reader, but PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
Windows 8.1 pro.
thx

Can not open any files with Illustrator CC on windows 8.1

I can not open any files in Illustrator CC. It comes with an error message and shuts down. I run with the Danish version and windows 8.1. - help?!!

I just get this:
"Adobe Illustrator CC has stopped working - One problem was the fault of the program ceased to function properly. Windows close the program and notify you if a solution is found"
not useful..

Photoshop CS6 windows can't open a .hdr file

I can't open .hdr files with Photoshop CS6 Version 13 x64 for windows 7.
I just updated and installed the optional plugins just in case that would help but I still get the same error code: "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file."
I read online elsewhere that this error code means the files are corrupted with other file types, but I wasn't sure with these as I've never used .hdr before.
Sorry if this is a repeat discussion, I saw most other discussions were errors about trying to make one - I'm just trying to open one.

Here's a properties screen shot if it helps narrow down the possibilities?
I haven't ever used .hdr's before so I had to look up what Radiance is [I know I'm a terrible artist] and the wiki stated it's a file type often used on simulators, and that's what I'm working on is simulator environment textures so I think there's a possibility they are a Radiance file ... maybe. Obviously I didn't generate them, but I'm trying to update them. The only thing that seems really odd to me is how incredibly small the files are, it was my understanding these were supposed to be highly detailed images based on photography.
I guess my main goal is to determine there's nothing wrong with this version of photoshop, and instead there's something wrong with the files. I know they work in the simulator as they're currently in use there, it's only in editing them that there is an issue.
Thanks so much for your help on this!

My current version of Chrome is having problems, too! It's so annoying. Anyone have any suggestions now? I basically can't view or download any PDFs because of this.
Does anyone else think this is a problem not only with Adobe? I would think Apple would have something to do with this? Wouldn't they get some idea from the developer versions that no browser can open PDFs while running Lion!? Pretty bad customer service on the part of a company that prides itself on being VERY customer-friendly. Wouldn't you say?
