Still having AVAST 5 install problem: SPAWNING operation failure

I have tried to download and run the self-extracting file several times now (yesterday and today), but each time I get a small error window reading:

An error 0 (00000000) has occured. Last performed operation was: spawning.

Will someone please help me with this? I’m not the only one having this problem.

You can download and try the latest build here:

No joy to be had with this one, either. Same error. Suggestions?

Try this in safe mode http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility
Then reinstall from scratch.

Yes, it could be a previous installed Avast! version that is corrupt that is causing this problem.

Greetz, Red.

WHoo-hoo! That worked. I wonder, though, if part of the problem could be that I was trying to install on my regular user account, and not as the Admin? (I don’t surf as Admin.) Because after the cleaning, when I went to install my upgraded version, I got a little message saying I didn’t have enough rights. Oops! Logging on as Admin, I had no problem. So I’d suggest to Gilad that he try installing as Admin, if he hasn’t already.

It always!! is a very good idea to install security software with admin rights!!! ;D
