joseph,
Normally when I am away on vacation I do not get on the board, but since you are a fellow “tech” person, I made an exception.
Your problem is most likely in Windows. There are 3 files that Avast modifies when updating. In the past, Windows seems to mark these files as read only which prevents Avast from changing them. Therefore it continues in its’ attempt to update them.
The files are all listed in the avast “log setup file” not the Log Viewer.
The 3 files in question seem to definetly be the source of the problem:
msvc170
msvcp70
msvcr70
Once you locate the file names, go into the file properties for each and uncheck “read only”. Reboot…and Avast should update correctly on the next attempt.
If you want more history on this problem, then do a forum search for “msvc” and set it to ALL WORDS.
