Hi,
I tried to update Mozilla Thunderbird (email client) from version 2.0.04 to 2.0.012, especially because the older version was not functioning 100 % anymore.
However, when trying to install 2.0.0.12, a few seconds after the install start screen I get the following window that pops up:
QUOTE
"---------------------------
Mozilla Thunderbird Setup
---------------------------
Error opening file for writing:

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\mozMapi32.dll

Click Retry to try again, or

Cancel to stop the installation.
---------------------------
Retry Cancel
---------------------------"


After getting this I first renamed the .ddl in question to "mozMapi32.dll1", I got just the same. I then just deleted the .dll, but the message keeps coming back.

The other thing I tried was to just remove the old version of Thunderbird, but when I go into Control Panel=> Add or remove programs and then click on "Remove" unde Thunderbird, the Add/Remove screen just flashes and that is all.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? And, more importantly, does anyone know of a solution?

Any help will be very much appreciated.
