Cannot download Vivaldi
-
For a long time Vivaldi simply just did not update for me. I press the check for updates button, and nothing happens. the "Show update stettings" that automaticly update the browser, also did not work. Therefore i try to delete Vivaldi though the controll panel. It gets removed from the controll panel, but i can still access Vivaldi somehow. then i spend 30 minutes trying to manually remove all the Vivaldi files i have in my drives, some of which cannot be deleted, finally i got vivaldi deleted, but when i went to download the browser again, it just will not let me. it states quote "Installation failed due to unspecified error. If Vivaldi is currently running, please close it and try again." I have no clue on what to do now. there is no vivaldi program running according to my task manager, and the rest of my vivaldi files cannot be deleted. Help would be apreciated

@Jeppemkm reboot PC and try again
-
@m2sun i have tried this multiple times, with no results unfortunatly
-
@Jeppemkm then we are waiting for expert advice)
-
@Jeppemkm Any Antivirus or Internet Security Tools running? These can block start/update of Vivaldi.
Other advice: download Vivaldi installer at vivaldi.com/download/ and update manually. -
@DoctorG i have non other than what windows provides. i have vivaldi on all my platforms, and i have never come across this problem, so i'm pretty sure this is not the problem im having.
-
@Jeppemkm Older Windows?
Windows 10/11 N/KN?
No space in user TEMP folder? -

@DoctorG i have windows 11 (home not sure), and it did not work with clearing up my TEMP files unfortunatly
-
@Jeppemkm Empty the users's temp folder, restart Windows, login to your Windows user.
-
@Jeppemkm Close Vivaldi, check program's folder Application\ and delete all files which names like new_.....exe. Then update.
-
@DoctorG unfortunatly my problem is that i cannot download vivaldi. I do not have vivaldi downloaded, so this is not possible

Hi, to make it more clear, to get this message you got Vivaldi downloaded but you cant install it.
If you have the Vivaldi.6.0.2979.22.x64.exe unpack it with 7-zip, the .exe is simply a self extracting file.
You can unpack Vivaldi where you want, this is more or less a standalone install.https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

@mib2berlin just to be sure, is 7-zip and WinRar the same, because i already have WinRar on my pc.
-
@Jeppemkm WinRAR can decompress 7z and vivaldi installer file.
