I am attempting to install:
Tweaking.com_advanced_system_tweaker_setup.exe
and get the following error
Unable to open setup file
The computer is:
Acer Aspire 3100 V3.05A
69.54 Gigabytes Usable Hard Drive Capacity
18.31 Gigabytes Hard Drive Free Space
2 Gig memory
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (build 2600)
Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like the setup file didnt download all the way. :wink:
What is the size of the setup file you have?
Shane
-
Size on disk is 4.80 MB
-
It should be 5,041,121 bytes
Let me know :-)

It is exactly 5,041,121 bytes

I am beginning to think there is a problem with the computer. Does Advanced System Tweaker require certain Windows Services or libraries such as .DOT net? Even tweaking.com_simple_system_tweaker_setup.exe stops with the error, Unable to open setup file.

It shouldn't. I made the setup with Setup Factory 9.
Can you post a screen shot of the error for me?
I will also download it myself and make sure it works for me. I had a friend who had a problem like this on some of the other setups, it was his download manager. I had him download it from a different browser and it worked fine. Not sure if that is the same problem as you though, but might be worth a try :-)
When you downloaded it did you download it directly or from majorgeeks?

Not sure from where I downloaded it. I used my computer (where it works fine) and copied it across the net to the Acer. I will download it from your site with the Acer and give it a shot.
Thanks for all you help with this. - Dean

Update: I downloaded it from your site this morning with the Acer-Firefox 13.
I received the same error as shown int the screen shot.

Think I found the problem, this is for an older version but still the same

I figured out that the problem was to do with IRSetup.exe, which was being disallowed from running by the security settings on the computer.
It's all working now.
Irsetup is a language file made by setup factory. Some Antiviruses falsely flag it some times. Try disabling your AV and see if the installer will work for you :wink:

We both solved it. On a hunch I re-booted the Acer to Safe-Networking. It installed perfectly.
Re-booted back to normal mode and checked the Comodo firewall. Sure enough it blocked every attempt. Just in case, I added the installed program to "Trusted Files" and it running fine.
I've been running the Acer remotely, but should have trotted over to do the Safe Mode. I feel pretty dump -- I should have figured this out much sooner. Thanks. Dean

Glad you got it working :-)

Thanks for your promptness, attention and help -- it's first class! Comodo, for as-yet, unknown reasons sometimes resets itself. It's problematic to say the least.
Love all your software and thanks again. Dean

No problem :-)
Since your all set I will lock this thread :wink:
And as always...
If your happy with my work. Then all I ask in return is you simply let others know about my site and programs. I help with anything computer or network related :-)
Also always feel free to make a post in the feedback forum.
And a facebook like at the top of the page of my site is nice as well. ;)
