Instalation Problem. Help please.

I have recently Downloaded avast! freeversion (home I think) and it won’ run. It says I’m missing a file called MSVCI70.dll. Is this originally on my computer, or did i not get it in the download?

mahars,

This file should have been included on your system in Windows. It is a dynamic link library file which Avast needs in its’ functionality.
If it isn’t there, then download Microsoft C++Runtime (Direct X) version 7.0.9466.0 or higher.

You can go to Microsoft supprt website and download a copy.

It will also provide you with installation instructions.

Any problems, let me know.

Just a thought,

mahars, is this a pre-configured system?

mahars, when did you download the installation program? And from where?

Between last Friday 5pm GMT and Saturday 10am GMT there was a version of setup program on our download sites that could contain this problem.

If you have downloaded the installation program in this period, please simply re-download it and use the new one.

Thanks
Vlk
