Problems with Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (Second Beta)

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hello,
I have problems installing avast! 4.5 Home on my Windows XP Professional x64 Edition System. When I run the installation progress the software does not detect a 64 bit system. It says something like:

Welcome to the new Version of Anti Virus Software avast! for 32-bits Operating Systems…

If I cancel the installation and open the setup log i get this version number of windows:

Windows2003 ver 5.2, build 3790, sp 1.0 [Service Pack 1, v.1218]

What can i do to make the software work on my system?

avast! should be compatible with Win64 - in the sense that it should work correctly.
I think the messages have not been fully updated yet (since Win64 isn’t yet final either) - so it may say “for 32bit OS”, etc.

You appearently didn’t read the whole message. :stuck_out_tongue:

This is what it says:

Welcome to the brand new version of the popular antivirus program avast! for 32-bit Windows operating systems: Windows 95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP and 64-bit version of Windows XP.

Cheers
Vlk

And a Big KRUSOVICE for everyone who made AVAST :slight_smile:
finally a perfect antivirus for xp64 :slight_smile:

by the way what’s this 4.5 beta stuff, and is it available to download?

Haha, Krusovice??? :wink: ;D

BTW the Beta version is now deprecated, just use the latest official build (4.5.549) and you should be all set.

Cheers

Budapest, i was in prague this weekend :slight_smile:
at the T-Mobile Stadium :slight_smile: rammstein jaaaa :slight_smile:

By the way i found a traslation error in the Hungarian version
in the trial version where the day countdown is running it says 59 days gone :slight_smile:
the correct sentence is (59 nap van hátra) and not (59 eltelt)

i think everything else is okay :slight_smile:

Thanks! I’ll fix that.
