It then goes on to say, check path and try again. I created the file path and soon realized that it changes the name of the path each time.

Example path: c:\\Users\Karen\AppData\Local\Temp\7zSCAD.tmp\setup.exe

Running windows 7, 64 bit and was trying to download the new Firefox 7. When that didn't work I tried an older version and received the same message.

I loved Firefox on my old computer which was running XP. I hope that there is a fix for this.

Thanks! Karen

Try a .zip installation instead. It should work. When you first run Firefox, it will create a new profile if there is not one already there.

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/7.0.1-candidates/build1/win32/

Choose a language version, and choose the .zip file.
