CCleaner won't install

Hi, I've tried installing ccleaner on my laptop but everytime I open the file to install it, it will begin to install and then I get a message that says:

Ccleaner v2.34 Setup

Error opening file for writing:

C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe

Click abort to stop the intallation,

Retry to try again, or

Ignore to skip this file

Can anyone help me solve this problem?

One or two things you can try first pkay.

Empty your browser temp files and try again (without a download manager).

Try a different browser.

Try the slim version with no toolbar from here

I actually just had this occur on my win98 install. . . yes win98 you wanna fight about it :P. . . I don't know why it happened but I do have a fix

as hazelnut said download the portable version copy the CCleaner.exe from the zip file into the folder c:\program files\ccleaner (or where ever you installed CCleaner to)

run as usual

- What browser are you using? If using IE, go to the IE options to empty the the temp files.

- Download Firefox 2.0.0.0.20 from filehippo (page 7 under more results) using IE. This is the latest you can use on W98.

- Be sure CCleaner is not running or minimized before attempting the upgrade. This can cause the error because it is in use. Additionally, if you have an older version of CCleaner installed, go to Add/Remove programs to uninstall the older version first to that it also unregisters the context menus.

- Download the slim version through Firefox & attempt the upgrade again. Use Google to find the slim ccleaner if you need to.

- If this fails, try the downloading via Firefox the portable version from Piriform & use Google to find portable ccleaner if you need to.

- If this still fails, find a machine that has a working copy of the latest CCleaner & either email it to yourself, then download it to your CCleaner dir, or send it to a flash drive/burn to CD. You can either run it from there, or put it in the program files/ccleaner dir.

If you still have trouble running it, post back what errors you have here.

I may have steered this thread wrong, I was relaying that I had this error on win98, we don't know what the Original poster is using for operating system
