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.

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.
