Can't install software, says insallation fails

I've attached my computer info, and a picture of the "error" message I'm getting. I've installed software before, and never had an issue. The one thing that is different today then yesterday, is that I activated Java for pogo.com which I didn't like, so now I disabled Java thinking that was the problem.

I'm trying to install a free, budget software. If someone could help I'd appreciate it. I'm wondering if the Java is the issue? I can't think if anything else that's different.

This won't let me insert the snapshot of my laptop info so here is the link, apologies, denise

The second snapshot says it all - you need an internet connection to install the software.

What is the name of the program?

 

I'm on the internet, connected. That's why I can't figure it out. It's called Free Budget, or budget free.

Here's the link for the downloand: http://download.cnet.com/Accounts-and-Budget/3000-2057_4-10535752.html

 

You should take care when downloading from that site.

Don't click on the Download Now. Underneath it, it says Installer Enabled. You are going to get a load of :crap on your PC.

Below the File Size, click on Direct Download Link.

 

I don't think you are solving my issue, but I am willing to give it a go. Where shall I download from?

I only have the option to click "run", no save-as on the cnet download ok. I don't have the option for a direct download link.

 

I don't know what more to say.

 

Or you can download directly from the publisher.

I can understand why, get well soon.

 

day late and a dollar short, thanks anyway.

 

What? :confused

I posted a link to download directly from the publisher.

 

I'll try it, thanks.

 

I don't know what the problem with cnet is. I've downloaded almost every piece of software I have from them, never had any issues. Must be something new. I never really liked the guy on there that was supposedly there to help, but I'll wait and see if I hear more from you.

The link I provided, don't click the first Download. Scroll down and you'll see 8 more links. Click the first Download. That will download the free edition of version 6.0.6.

The file name is 'installbudfree606.exe'.

 

Ok Eldon,

I'll try it, thank you much. Sometimes people misread each other online, and I thought you were giving me a hard time. I do apologize, it seems you're not, Denise

 

OMG, it worked perfect Eldon!! In all these years, I never had an issue with cnet?? Thank you so much, I won't use them anymore. I just can't believe that, and I don't understand it either, but I'll do some reading (on cnet) to see why that happened, Denise

 

thank plodr,

yes, it's always a hastle to catch all the checks that are by default. I don't download many programs now, used always be trying something out, but I will certainly heed your advice, thanks to you and Eldon

 

Just be aware that cnet is not like it use to be. Just have to be cautious. I prefer MajorGeeks, but they dont' have everything. Awesome that you posted here to ask for help.

 

Ok tf,

love your user subtitle, LOL I do like how MG has the downloads. I noticed on the ones I looked at, they have a couple of different download sites to choose from. Also, I don't have any confusion on where the dang "download" buttons are Thanks much, denise
