<![CDATA[[Solved]An error occurred when installing the extension: Could not install package: 'ERROR_REMOVING_OLD_IMAGE_FILE']]>I did everything from reinstalling, to resetting my windows Permissions to recreating a new profile
but i still can't install Extensions, it happens in Google chrome too and i found no answer or fix for it
it didn't happen before
can anyone help ? i don't want to reinstall my windows, i use Windows 7, not a fan of Win10
Opera and chrome used to work fine but now i can't install any extension because it says Could not install package: 'ERROR_REMOVING_OLD_IMAGE_FILE'

Thank you all for the great support

See https://www.computerrepairtech.com/blog/error_removing_old_image_file-cant-install-google-chrome-extension/.

Right-click on the "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData" folder in Windows Explorer and click on "properties". Then, on the security tab. make sure your username is there and has full control and all permissions. Also, make sure there's no "Users" group there.

Opera extension or Chrome extension?
