mike Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 For some reason all of a sudden I cannot install 3rd party installations. ( i.e. thunderbird ) any help would be highly appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youneverknow Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Sounds like a security issue. Try turning off any security software (windows defender,anti-virus,zone alarm etc.) while installing. good luck YouNeverKnow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Installation will begin as normal but quickly pops up a window with a "finish" launch mozilla thunderbird now (window), yet the installation never completes and the program won't run. Happens with any program I try to install. windows installer was on manual, so I clicked "start" but that didn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 turned off AVG, no difference. I think my installer may be bad, but can't seem to find a replacement online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Guru Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Only effecting Thunderbird? Here is a direct download link for Thunderbird: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=thunderbird-3.1.9&os=win&lang=en-US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 HI Bill, No not just TB. I even tried to install Pegasus, same thing. Plus when I try to uninstall from add/remove, (win 7 ), That won't work either. I downloaded the same one you linked to but it will unpack, you hit the install button, then it, almost immediately goes to an empty white window with only the finish button to click. When I do I can find thunderbird under %appdata% but there's nothing there and it won't run. That's what makes me wonder about the installer, but I haven't had any luck getting a new installer. Some folks are claiming that 4.5 installer installation has been messing up other files and programs and I can't seem to get a download for ver. 5 installer. I am working on an HP pavilion so there is no windows 7 disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
