Change the association in your preferences.

This is not the only program that will not open. I also have a coupon
printer that gets the same message, as well as adobe and many of the
other addons. Someone explain to me what the associated helper
application is and where do I find it.

By any chance are you using a Mac?

exe files are windows files.



The source of the original message indicates that Marilyn G is using
SeaMonkey 2.3.1 for Windows XP.



The reason I asked I don't have turned view all headers.  Which 90 
percent here are Windows users. There is always the possibility that 10% 
are asking a question. Using a Laptop while the with is great, the 
height is not and view all the header info at one time is a waste of 
screen real estate. So I leave on the  Short listing which only shows 
from, newsgroup, Date, Subject, and reference number It does scroll nor 
is the window expandable, or Contracts  when you set to all same way 
you view everything and that's it. By its time it does so you not left 
with much room to actually read post.

You don't have to display full headers all the time, just hit CTRL-U as 
needed and close the window when done.


Marilyn's post contained this in the header:

X-HTTP-UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:6.0) Gecko/20110820
 Firefox/6.0 SeaMonkey/2.3.1,gzip(gfe)

Yours had this:

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; 
rv:1.9.1.19) Gecko/20110420 Firefox/4.0.1


As you can see, it's fairly easy to deduce the OS from the UA string, if 
you're so inclined. But I agree that it's more convenient and more 
courteous to state it clearly in the original query.

I use Mnenhy which allows customizing the headers [1] but I also use 
(even before Mnenhy) the mailnews.headers.showUserAgent preference:

Also valid options, since they can be turned on or off as needed.

Quicktime installer - associated helper application does not exist

2011-08-29 Thread Marilyn G
I went to the addons page. I clicked on the line to check for updates.
It sent me to a mozilla firefox page that shows my addons and which
ones need to be updated. I click on the first one for Quicktime. It
sends me to a Quicktime page. I click the download button, it starts
to download. At the end I get that it failed and this message.

C:\DOCUME~1\Marilyn\LOCALS~1\Temp\QuickTimeInstaller-4.exe could not
be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist.
Change the association in your preferences.

This is not the only program that will not open. I also have a coupon
printer that gets the same message, as well as adobe and many of the
other addons. Someone explain to me what the associated helper
application is and where do I find it.
