Hi,
Don't worry about the first message as that's a microsoft thing, just
press run and go from there.
As for the extraction failed message, sounds like you may have had a
problem in the download and the best likely solution is to download the
setup file again.
Good luck,
Don

Subject: problems installing Firefox
Hello fellow Window-eyes users:
I seem to be having a problem installing Firefox 3.0.11. Before I go
into the details, here's what I did:
1. Went to www.mozilla.com, and downloaded the Firefox software by
hitting enter on the linked labeled download free Firefox 3.0.11.
2. When the question, "Do you want to run or save this file) came up,
I answered by pressing enter on the save button. At this point, the
usual dialog that you get that gives you the name of the file you're
about to download, and the combo box that lists the different folders
where you can save files came up. I tabbed to the (save in) combo box,
and selected the desktop and pressed enter. The file downloaded.
Now, here's where things get weird. After locating the Firefox setup
3.0.11 icon, I pressed enter on it, and got the following message:
File security warning. The publisher could not be varified. Are you
sure you want to run this software?
name firefox setup 3.0.11.exe
Publisher unknown
Publisher type application.
This file does not have a valid digital signature that varifies its
publisher. You should only run software from publishers you trust. I
atempted to press the run button anyway, and when I did, I got yet
another error message, that read:
Extraction failed. File is corrupt. Which was followed by an ok
button. I pressed ok, and was returned to the desktop where I had
started. For those of you who have downloaded Firefox 3.0, did you get
this funny message when trying to install the software?
What should I do?
