Following a recent ‘custom re-install’ I now notice that only 2 sound types are now available, ‘Automatic VPS Update’ and ‘Virus Found’.
By ‘Custom Install’ I mean I chose not to download Outlook / BAT / Skins.
I tried a further custom re-install today and I still have only those two sound types. Operating System is Win XP Pro.
Have the available sound types been reduced or is there a problem here?
You should have a problem…
Seven .wav files should be installed:
hover, possible, press, ready, suspic, virfound and vpsupd
What language are you using?
The sound files are created into the language folder.
English
So there’s just 2 wav files in the \english folder?
That’s right, just the two I mentioned earlier. Situation remained the same even after a second custom re-install.

Just to clarify, there are only these two when I check in…
Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Sounds
OS = Win XP Pro
Vlk, remember this thread:
no sounds at all !
Unfortunately the advice Vlk gave in that thread to click ‘Browse’ and select manually doesn’t help me, as the appropriate sounds are not listed at all.
Any help available from Support on this one please?
Thanks in advance.
if you like, I can send you those files and you can copy them to the language folder 
That’s kind thank you, but I think I can get by with the two sounds I do have. What interests me more is why only those 2 have downloaded after 2 custom re-installs? Problem with my setup or some issue at the Alwil end of things?
Check the file \setup\setup.log and search for the string “wav”. Does it mention anything?
Sorry, I’m going to display my ‘newbie’ credentials here, can someone talk me through step by step how I do that please? Thanks very much.
Open the file in Notepad. In my previous post, stood for the folder where you installed avast (typically “C:\Program Files\ALWIL Software\avast4”). Then use the search feature to find any occurence of the string “wav” or “.wav” to see if there’re any entries about the files being installed.
Well it does appear that I have all 7 wav sounds. Am slightly confused though as ‘Date modified’ datees are 09/01/2004, so have these been held over from the original ‘Full’ rather than ‘Custom’ installation? Maybe I should go back to a Full installation again?
