I just purchased a new Dell Inspiron E1505 running Vista Home Premium. I want to install Avast home edition (latest version). When I download the setupeng.exe file and run it, I get this error:
An error 1006 (000003ee) has occured.
Last performed operation was:
opening the self-extract archive.
Any tips? I have downloaded the file various times from various places, cleaned out temp folders between downloads, saved to different places/partitions and no luck. I have also done a clean install of vista and still have the same problem.
Thanks
Use only the official website, is my suggestion.
For sure you have a corrupted download. Do you use any download manager?
Do you have any other antivirus installed in this computer?
I have been using the main Avast website. I tried downloading from download.com just to see if that would work…that was about 14 attempts ago.
No other Antivirus installed, no download manager.
I basically only have Windows Vista installed (clean install)
Strange… file is downloading corrupted…
Do you have a good internet connection?
If you have dial-up, can you try a download manager, for instance, http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/
Ok i used freedownload manager to download the file. It still gave the same error. Any other ideas?
Can you search the board for 000003ee
You’ll find more info.
