Windows 7 failure to install
-
OH ising Avast AV, and zonalarm. but i tried shutting off zonealarm entirely, it made no difference.
-
Are you running the installer from the download manager in your browser, or are you going to the folder where you saved it and running the installer ?
Maybe try right-click and run as admin. -
I always open the folder whether from the download manager or just explorer.
I just recently switched to avast for.. reasons. I cant seem to easily find its logs, so, I shut down all of its protections, ran the install as administrator as also suggested, and i still get the same error.
So I Uninstalled Avira completely, same error. -

There is no Windows 7 SP3.
There is only XP SP3 and apart from an old Version, Vivaldi does not run on XP SP3. -
Lol pardon i could have sworn win 7 had reached SP 3 at some point, but no I am using win 7 SP 1 x64. I did try the thing unzipping the package and running the .exe file directly, that did work, but of course still doesnt install it properly. So i just filed a bug report.

How did you install? Standard install for all users, or only for the user, or a stand alone install?
To verify that the Installer package is OK, you can perform a stand alone install, see

@QuHno Thank you you just solved it, it was defaulting to a stand alone install for whatever reason, and it didnt click in my mind that mattered, it installed just fine now.

@Nushimitushi I assume VB-55265 is your bug - I will set it to CNR (Cannot reproduce) and close it, OK?
