Installation of 4.7.827 is everything but calm
My system (XP SP2+) is on Portuguese (Brazil).
The following tentatives result in a messed installation:
Use of the setupfulpro.exe for English + Portuguese versions.
Use of the setupfulpro.exe with just Portuguese.
Use of the setupfulpro.exe with just English.
Use of the setupengpro.exe for a single English installation.
Repair failed miserabily. Booting does not solve… Using ashclear.exe does not help.
The eight providers are installed, the services are running, I can update but there is no resident protection. The icon is red crossed.
It’s impossible to start the residents… The error message is that the residents are not installed !
I can only manage installing setupporpro.exe for single Portuguese and the, on-line, geting the English version.
I was trying to show how good it could be using avast for a friend of mine… failed miserabily.
Oh, fresh Windows install, the antivirus was the first application to be installed. Only Windows updates before
Something is wrong with translations or with the use of a different language than the operational system. It was never this way.
Hoping the magic survives :-\
Beetwen one step and another there are uninstalling (Control Panel), boot, ashclear, boot…
I tested all the possibilities and the same result ever: 8 providers installed, 0 running, cannot start them. I’ve never passed through this before.
Something is different now.
Maybe the fact I was not using the default path but, after all, I was using an account with admin rights and the folder has ‘full’ control by this user.
What stupidity I’ve done… I’m curious… It took me two hours :
You are certainly not alone with having problems with 4.7. I should have stayed as long as possible with 4.6 so the bugs could be ironed out but I took a chance anyway…the result being my dial up connection was completely and totally screwed up to where I had uninstall Avast to get it working correctly.
I have the distinct feeling that 4.7 should have spent a LOT more time in Beta than it did :
I’m not that sure. I like 4.7 version even with its problems. 4.6 has its problems too. I believe we must go forward and improve the software (taking a longer beta). But I could only discover this making a new installation in a computer of friend of mine. After that, now he has Portuguese and English working. I believe that the problem could be at the access rights of the non-default folder. Although I’ve looked, tested a lot… everything seems to be ok.
What is most boring is the fact I can’t understand what was the problem…
