I need to install Firefox on a Windows Server 2008 terminal server (64-bit), but when I attempt to install it normally, nothing happens when I click the executable installation file. When I try to install it in TS-Install mode (which is the proper way), it says "Windows could not run the installation program. You may be out of memory. Close some files or programs, and then try again." However, memory is not the issue (32 GB RAM) and no one is on the server so no programs or files are open. Is it possible to install Firefox on this server?

It looks like you posting with 32-bit Firefox 49 running on Windows 2008 server.

Note in order to run 64-bit Firefox ( Win64) on 64-bit Windows you need 64-bit Windows 7, 8 (8.1) or 10. It will not run on 64-bit versions of WinXP, Vista or servers.
