  I downloaded and extracted the latest ESR (Version 10.0.7) file this morning. Run the SETUP program. EXE with no command line switch fails to install Firefox. SAT Setup log indicates that the installation took a second full run. In the Setup log, I see the following:

  Registration DLL

  In the folder C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox, there's an uninstall as well as an install.log file folder. Any other file or folder there. Mozilla Firefox will appear in programs and features, but displays an icon associated with an unknown application.

  I am connected with an account with limited rights but the execution of the INSTALLATION. EXE executable from an elevated command prompt. That should be enough to raise the registration of the DLL.

  Running on Windows 7 SP1 with all updates applied. I noticed several other people who have experienced this problem, but nobody has a solution.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  Do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a new copy of Firefox.

  • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory

  Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

  • ESR 10.0.x Firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all.html

  Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

  • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you will also lose your personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

  Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

  Your bookmarks and other profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  Windows Update makes the secure PC and helps run smoothly.

  For more information, refer to this link: Windows Update

  We suggest to delete the Windows updates only in troubleshooting an issue that may have been caused by an update. Refer to KB 310312 for more information on how to use the disk cleanup to free up space on the hard disk.

  Hope the helps of information.

• Folder "Programs and features" shows the installed program, but is blank when the file size must be listed.

  Original title: what does it mean when you have a program installed, but when you open the folder "Programs and features" it shows the program installed but remains empty where should be the size of the file?

Seems to lack the SIZE info only on any one of my Adobe programs and a few select other random programs?

  Hi AlinaSporl,

  The size information is reported by the uninstaller for each program component. A program of uninstalling programs will not report this value, so the size of the program does not appear in this list.

  Another way to get a close estimate of the total size for an individual program is to check the properties of this installation of programs parent folder in C:\Program Files.

  You can read the following article and check:

  How add/remove programs is the size and other information?

  Hope this information is useful.

• Not all installed programs appear in "programs and features".

  A few days ago, I installed GTA IV with all components like Rockstar Social Club, Games for Windows and things related as update for .net 3.5 SP1 and so on. Since then, whenever I open the "programs and features" dialog box (I dunno if it's the correct name because I use a German, Vista Ultimate SP1...) the dialog box shows some of the installed programs and the scanning process remains active all the time. In the Task Manager, the explorer.exe shows a 99% CPU usage, and that's all. Even after a few hours, it's the same thing. Is this a known issue? Y at - it advice or ideas (other then reinstall Vista ;)?

  Marcus

  Hello again Marcus!

  I was wondering a few things...

  You never said if your system meets the minimum requirements for installation of GTA IV...

  Namely:

  • Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 Ghz, AMD Athlon X 2 64 2.4 Ghz
  • Memory: 1.5 GB
  • Space free hard drive: 16 GB
  • Video card: 256 MB NVidia 7900 / 256 MB ATI X 1900
  • DirectX 9-compatible stereo sound card
  • Keyboard
  • Mouse

  If your system does not meet the minimum requirements, alone could cause 99% CPU usage and problems to run the game.

  In addition, I never asked before, but I wanted to know if you were trying to uninstall GTA IV when you are looking for in "programs and features"?

  If you're still having problems, I suggest to uninstall GTA. If you don't see it in programs and features, you can download the following Microsoft utility and use it to uninstall GTA.

  Windows Install CleanUp Utility: http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

  This will have to be run in XP compatibility mode in Vista

  To run a program in compatibility mode:

  1. Right click on the shortcut for the item.
  2. Click on Properties
  3. Click on the compatibility tab.
  4. Check the run this program in compatibility mode for , and then select the version of Windows, the program has been designed for the list. If you don't know what the program is designed for, try Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
  5. Click OK

  After uninstalling GTA, see if you have the same problems of use of CPU...

  Please let us know!
