@mohsenIbrahim Is this happening when Opera tries to automatically update or are you trying to manually update? What is the wording of the error message (and can you determine the message's source)?

There are a number of things that can cause update failure. They vary from something wrong in the installation to censorship blocking of the Opera server URL in certain nations.

Hi @mohsenIbrahim, you can simply download the offline installer (the one with "Setup" in the name of file) for the latest version from the ftp servers, run it, and perform the update, specifying the path to the current installation folder.

I can sympathise with this issue. Opera only manages to update manually for me on about 2 out of 10 occasions, a rival browser manages 10 out of 10 every time.
Going will the full offline installer is what I usually end up doing, but makes sure it instals into existing Opera program file dilrectory.

@mohsenIbrahim As I wrote above, you run the installer (downloaded file), and it should start installation process, then it may detect, that you have already installed the Opera, and ask you if you want to update it. If not, you simply select custom path in the installer's options.
