      I restart Opera for the update and I always find myself with version 102.0.4880.78. Full installers indicate an error in a .pak

        @garzov Did you try uninstalling before installing the new version?

          @leocg certainly, uninstalled either with the uninstaller or by subsequently deleting all the Opera-related folders. Even using the full installers, I can only install with the version 102 one

            @garzov Hi, I have the same problem too. As someone suggested earlier, I tried to uninstall Opera 102, along with all possible components. I even cleared all registry entries related to Opera and the latest Opera still refuses to install. but reagardles of that, opera 102 can be install on my machine. I don't know what I can do more, without reseting my windows.

                Right-click your desktop, goto "New" and choose "Folder". Name the folder "Opera Test".

                Download Opera_105.0.4970.13_Setup_x64.exe.

                Launch Opera_105.0.4970.13_Setup_x64.exe, click "options", change the "install path" to the "Opera Test" folder on your desktop, change "Install for" to "standalone installation" and install.

                Does that test version work fine at least? I've tested the installer file and it's completely fine.

                (Opera 105+ currently has a display issue though. See this post for more info. But, you're just doing a test at the moment anyway.)

                        @burnout426 There's an update now. Download https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/105.0.4970.16/win/Opera_105.0.4970.16_Setup_x64.exe instead.

                            I am having exactly the same problem (windows 11 latest update). I spend many hours deleting and cleaning all tracks of opera, folders and registries, but unfortunately nothing above 102 seems to work. I tried with 104 and 105 offline installers and they fail, some error related to pak corruption, uninstalling process also fails.
                            For now the only version that can be installed is 102 and auto update attempts also fail, after each relaunch it remains at 102.

                              @burnout426 it doesn't work, it will always display the same error message with pak. file, even if you change the file location for the installation. It's been weeks and the problem still persists.

                                @sectionx27 I can't reproduce it and no one at Opera is able to reproduce it yet (even on Windows 11 23H2). So, not sure what's different about the systems that have the problem and what the cause is even, yet.

                                    See if the free version of Malwarebytes finds anything. Then, remove what it finds and restart Windows to test if it helps with the pak file corruption.

                                      Temporarily create a new account on Windows (local one not tied to a Microsoft account), log into it and test if the pak file corruption issue with the installer happens there too or not.

                                        What's everyone running for anti-virus?

                                        Anyone running a system-wide VPN? There's one that can cause issues with Opera. Can't think of the name of it at the moment.

                                          Test that the installer is in tact after you download it. See https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/18468wk/comment/kaycxni/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 for how.

                                            OK, this way I solved it. I deleted and recreated my main account
