cannot use or open thunderbird or install a new copy

[mlm...@gmail.com]

This evening I downloaded

what I thought

was a newer version of thunderbird and ever since I cannot start up
thunderbird or install a new version from the thunderbird site.

I get an error message:

Error opening file for writing

...mozMapi32.dll

I retry and the same message comes up again and again and again.

I would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks

What version did you install? One of the Daily versions? Those are
cutting edge versions and there have been problems with some of them as
of late. I suggest staying with a STABLE release version for usage,
and a daily version for testing.

Why can't you install a new version from the Thunderbird site?

Why can't you install or uninstall?

"If you get a "Error opening file for writing:
r\n\r\nmozMapi32.dll\r\n\r\nClick Retry to try again, or\r\nCancel to
stop the installation." error message it may be due to a Logitech
webcam. Disable the webcam and try again. A drastic alternative would be
to rename the mozMAPI.dll file in the Thunderbird program directory. "

be located in the dynamic link library js3250.dll.

Do you have quicknotes extension installed ?

if you don't have such extension then :
(As it seems like somehow update process went wrong )

Close Thunderbird .
Open task manager , select process tab. Make it sure that no
thunderbird.exe process is running .

Now Backup your Thunderbird profile folder
["http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird#Finding_your_profile"]

Goto Start > Control panel > Add-remove programs.
Uninstall Thunderbird.

remove Thunderbird program folder .

Download and install latest version of Thunderbird.
