Application download did not succeed

Application download did not succeed. Check your network connection, or contact your system administrator or network service provider. That what a family member of mine gets when they try to download anything off of the internet. Its old probably running windows xp or older. Anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it, hits on Google dont explain, only for this one click thing

I know this is windows 7 forum but maybe it pertains to us also

hello,

I'm having the same problem, at first google chrome stoped working and a suggested solution was to check my firewall and add google chrom to allow list and I did but it didn't work anyway, so I deleted the google crhome and tried to reinstall it but i got this message "application download did not succed" and:
