I uninstalled thunderbird and when I try to reinstall it I get a "cannot find temp archive" message.

I've installed thunderbird for another user on the same computer and had no trouble.

Can anyone help me? Thanks so much.

This time I downloaded it as the "administrator" - downloaded perfectly.

different antivirus this time? or different source of the installation files?

Thunderbird is generally distributed as a self extracting zip file and antivirus program are paranoid about them, hence my questions.
