    "Unable to find a volume for file extraction" Error Message


    I am trying to install a C++ Redistributable package and am encountering the following error dialog:



    I am also encountering a similar dialog when I try to install the latest Silverlight plugin for IE9.

    I'm running Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit.

    Can anyone please assist.

    Cheers
