Invalid install package error

StJohn
Hi,
when the download completes and I ask Firefox to install zotero 1.0.3 , i get an error message that Firefox can not install it: Not a valid install package
-207

I hope that someone has a solution for this problem, or can tell what to do next.....

    Tested another computer with identical Firefox 2.0.0.12 and now on Vista. Works without problems.
    First Computer was running on XP [latest updates incl].

    Hi, I have this same problem. I tried installing under Fedora core 8 and Firefox 2, then on Firefox 3, and it keeps raising the same error.

    Previously I installed Zotero without problems in another computer, running Vista and Firefox 3.

    The strange thing is, another computer next to me with Fedora core 8 and Firefox 2 intalled it without problems. I really don't know what else to try, any thoughts?

    1) Clear your browser cache.
    2) Try again.
    3) Try the steps under Corrupt extension files on the Mozilla add-ons troubleshooting page.
    4) Try the other steps on that page.
    5) Try downloading the XPI with another browser and dragging it into Firefox.

    Ok, downloading the xpi didn't work, but for some weird reason i closed and opened ff3 and now I could install it without any problem from the webpage.

    Thanks!
