I’m having the exact same problem with Office 97. It wil not install when I click on setup.exe. Nothing happens.
If I uninstall Avast I can then install Office 97.
Running XP Pro + SP2.
Avast scans exe files as part of the Standard Shield, and if such affects the Win32 executables as well.
If there is any file within the setup Avast feels fits a “virus” signature, it will not execute that file.
Try shutting down the On Access Protection for Standard Shield by right clicking the I ball in the tray, and shutting it down.
Good luck.
I had tried that but it makes no difference.
I first noticed this on a fresh clean install of slipstreamed XP SP2. I then installed Avast but could not then install Hyperion Via 4 in 1 drivers until I uninstalled Avast. Stopping all Avast services doesnt make any difference
First thing i tried even closed down all services still running
when avast shut down any over ideas
thanks
