Title: Installation issue
Post by: Tenchi on May 30, 2010, 06:02:02 PM
When I try to install avast free on my slightly modified windows installation, it says I do not meet the requirements when I do. The debug log shows:

Is there any way to get it to ignore that and install anyway ?

You can't install avast in a server environment.

What exactly does it mean "slightly modified windows installation"?
I'm not aware of a server version of XP...
