Problems after upgrade

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

A few days ago I posted a topic whereas after the last upgrade Avast display:
Unknown error.
Program cannot set property into main Storage

A suggestion was made to delete the file avast4.mdb. I tried this but it did not work.

A couple of months ago I posted a similar problem for an installation on Win98 and it was suggested then that I chage the item “database” in the avast4.ini file from ODBC to XML. This solution worked fine then. After a lot of headaches I discovered that the upgrade changed this item in the ini file back to ODBC. I changed it back to XML and all is marry again.

Just thought I should pass this along.

I would be interested if it is not a lengthy explanation why this is so.

Thanks in advance;

Luis

This is a little mistake in our installation program. We will fix it…
Thanks for info

Roman, I suggest a new FAQ topic for the ODBC drivers… (just download from Microsoft is not enough for users’ troubles… :slight_smile:

But there are really only two solutions to fix problem with storage: update ODBC and drivers for it or use other storage (only XML based storage is currently available).

I have posted request to add some article about ODBC into our FAQs but with no effect :-[ I’ll do it once again…

So, sorry for my stupid suggestion… :wink:
Luck with your new requests in FAQs :wink:
