Self extracting .exes not installing
First of all, greetings. I've been surfing the forums for quite some time now but never saw the reason to make an account here. Until now that is...
I installed the SP1 pack a couple of days ago and today I noticed a problem that's very annoying:
When trying to install the Firefox 4 beta, the self extracting archive (Firefox Setup 4.0 Beta 12.exe) won't install. It would extract the archive into the temp folder, but the setup won't activate. I looked into my C:\Users\Dawn\AppData\Local\Temp folder while the archive was extracting, and after finishing, the temp folder just auto-deleted.
I experimented with other self extracting .exe files and the behavior is identical.
Any ideas why this might be? Does it have any link to the prior installation of the SP1?
My version of Windows 7 x64 is genuine, with no wat removers or that kind of stuff.
