Avast AV Free 11.2.2262, Win 7 Pro x64, 2x1Tb HDD + 8Gb RAM. Running as Administrator
While attempting to back up my Avast settings I repeatedly get the error (using any path to any drive):
“Error while exporting settings. The system cannot find the path specified.”
I have tried:
Repair (via Programs & Features) - no go: same error
Uninstall Avast
reboot to Safe Mode
run avastclear.exe
reboot
manually clean up leftovers in registry & on drives
reboot
Download & install latest Avast Free from Avast website (still v11.2.2262, it seems)
reboot
register Avast
I have just tried it as I have used this quite frequently in the past. Since I don’t use Passwords, either for protection of avast settings or have the avast Passwords function, I have that option unchecked.
Worked just fine on my winXP system, just about to test on my win7 system and again settings have been successfully exported. Avast 11.2.2262 on both systems.
I also select my own backup location and not the default location.
That’s strange Bob i just tried to reproduce here on internal version and works fine. We will release this tomorrow to beta channel so please try it again tomorrow with the new beta… Thanks
@DavidR:
I, too, use no Passwords and have a custom backup destination, but it matters not where (or with what filename) I try to backup to: “Error while exporting settings. The system cannot find the path specified.” dialog tediously reappears :-\
