Cannot successfully install Avast on Vista - "failed miserably" line in Log

Hi all,

I have tried installing Avast Home v4.7 (more than once) but have been unable.
The last time I tried, I :-

  1. Used the Uninstall utility and then re-booted.
  2. Used the following command to try and install the software … setupeng.exe /forceinstall
  3. Installation failed
  4. Contents of log file (edited so as to be < 10000 chars) are below.
  5. I have saved the full log file it is required for anyone to view

Can some-one please assist me ?
Thanks,

Julian

Are you logged as the administrator of this computer or just a common user?
Any other antivirus is installed?

How big is your setupeng.exe file?

Igor, why don’t you add a MD5 hash control in the webpage?
