• Impossible to install the BlackBerry Plugin for Eclipse

  So I tried very hard to get this * beep * installed for some time now, but nothing still evokes the problem that I have as far as I know.

  I downloaded the plugin from BlackBerry website. It's huge, it's called "BlackBerry_JDE_PluginFull_1.1.2.201004161203 - 16.exe.

  I can't find any other file that seems to be the plugin, so I think that's it. BUT when I run it, it pops up a dialog box telling me to choose a different installation path. Of the dialog box is titled InstallAnywhere. In the video configuration it does not show even this step, so I think that is the problem... Although I have no idea how to solve this problem. Just keep him there if I choose anywhere on my computer.

  I would really be passed this stage. Can someone help me?

  No, really, download again.  'Properties' on my copy says "368 MB (386,073,072)".  I know it's painful, but your copy is too small.  You have the right link.

  You do not even receive the installation.  It is not significant to install somewhere else, he told you to extract the installer somewhere else.  I don't know how you can run a self-extractor corrupt at all, but I think your symptom said that the extraction fails.  Say that it a little weird, I admit...

  FWIW, when I start the installation program extracts itself in a directory Local Settings\Temp.

  I don't see why the Windows Installer Service is not available on your computer. Without this service, you will not be able to install applications using the .msi installer, and this includes updates of Windows.

  However, with Skype, you can do this:

  Download all the files of the site OneDrive:

  https://onedrive.live.com/redir?RESID=DB6E69DD03D093C9%21205

  These files are what is required to run the currently latest version of Skype 7.28.0.101.

  Open your Skype installation folder.

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Skype\Phone\

  Replace all files in this folder with the files downloaded from the site of OneDrive above.

  I installed Firefox 24.0 recently and I am trying to install open www.youtube.com youtube Search Engine by clicking on Add "YouTube Video Search" in the search bar, but I get the following error message:

  Download error
  Firefox could not download the search plugin from:
  http://www.YouTube.com/OpenSearch?locale=en_GB

  What is a Firefox problem, or a youtube error?

  Thank you for your response.

  I don't want to install addon for youtube search. I just wanted to know if I can install the search engine for youtube as before.

  After a few readings on the internet I found that the search engine is described by a small XML file which is available through a link on the page. All other pages with operation generates the search engines like Wikipedia or IMDb content is XML refers to XML file. But the link to youtube opensearch descriptor points to an opensearch.osdx file.

  I don't know if it's the extension, or if he did not support tag inside but Firefox is not prepared to handle it and add youtube to search engines.

  I found this page: http://www.tobtu.com/customsearch.php I copied the relevant tags in the fields of seizure and added YouTube video Srearch. Now, it works fine.

  But the question remains: is it Firefox that can not handle the descriptor of opensearch sandard of youtube or youtube.com which provides a defective descriptor?

  Impossible to install Google Chrome on Windows 7
  After downloading and installing Google chrome program does not open.
  Help, please

  Hello

  When you uninstall Google Chrome you also remove the Chrome files that remain when the program is removed?  Verify that no files have been left after uninstalling.  The path to check (with hidden files showing) is:

  C:\Users\\AppData\Local

  There you should see a folder with the name Google remove this folder and try to reinstall.  To get hidden files to show the computer open, select organize in the toolbar area.  We see the choice of folder and Search Options.  Click on that.  From there click on the view tab.  There is the option to show hidden files.  This will allow you to find the necessary space to remove the folder.
