Firefox 29.0.1 installer does not not on windows 8.1

I tried to automatically install the latest firefox but still keeps giving me error. I downloaded the installer in offline mode and tried to run. I had the Windows prompt to accept the installation of the software and then... nothing. The installer never runs. Seems to extract a 100% and then disappears.

I had a similar problem last time and I have turned off windows firewall and defender, uninstalled firefox and run Setup offline. Worked perfectly well. Doesn't seem to work this time.

Does anyone know what seems to be the problem?

Software of overzealous security can prevent the installer to run correctly.

  1. Start Windows Mode without failure.

  2. Right-click the offline installation program and choose Run as administrator.

    It is possible that your firewall or other security software blocks or limit Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and allow your firewall to ask permission to get access full and unrestricted, again to install for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  • Try to format and do a clean install of Windows Vista on an old my computer HARD drive at home to be placed in a new Tower. The installation does not start.

    Try to format and do a clean install of Vitsa on an old my computer HARD drive at home to be placed in a new Tower. DVD starts up fine and then goes into an endless loop of the repair system that continues to check the c: / drive to find errors. Why is the installation does not start? I know that the folder c: / drive has Vista OS on it from my old compuetr. I want to wipe off immediately and start cleaning up.

    original title: try to install clean vista

    You must set your BIOS to start on the DVD from the beginning to the top.

    You have a good DVD of Vista (OEM/upgrade or full version) and NOT only a recovery disk provided by the manufacturer of the PC (or you burn you).

    For a DVD upgrade, follow the method here and make sure you format your HARD drive thanks to the tools of "advanced install" on the DVD.

    If you have a full version of Vista rather than a version upgrade then just do the first part of the above procedure.

  • installation does not see the printer when I plug

    I have a printer HP LaserJet, 1006 running on a Windows XP 32 - bit attached to a USB1 port system. I have no USB2 ports. The printer works fine, but the drivers are up to date. I downloaded the file (hp_LJ_P1005_P1505_Full_Solution_ROW.exe) and when I run it, and it gets to the point where it tells me to connect my printer, I plug in and turn on and nothing happens. Apparently the installer does not see when I turn on my printer. The problem would be that it is plugged into the port of USB1 and if so what do about it?

    Sorry must have misread your first message.  Before trying to reinstall the software, make sure that the printer and the old software is uninstalled.  The installer can be easily confused by older facilities, in order to ensure that those who are cleaned before installing the latest orders.  Hope that helps.
