Install failure Version 7
« on: November 08, 2012, 09:07:30 PM »
Version 7 install goes all the way through and fails at the end, providing the following information. This makes no sense to me and certainly does not help figure out what is going wrong.  Does anyone know how to help?

Thanks in advance!

have you uninstalled it before installing avast?

You will need to manually install the correct version for your system

I believe it was Avast Version 6, and yes, it was uninstalled using the awsclear.exe software.  Doesn't help.

Ok, essexboy, thanks -- how do I manually install the correct version for your system? I thought version 7 was the correct version. No???

See if you have Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable  Sp1- 86x 9.0.30729.6161 installed. See screenshot.

Start > Control panel > Add & Remove programs

Even if you have it, reinstall it just to discard any corrupted file.

Could you confirm that you followed  iroc9555's advice and reinstalled Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable  Sp1- 86x 9.0.30729.6161

essexboy -- No, I followed your link and install the C++ 2010 version that you suggested because of the two suggested, I thought the latest version of that would be the preferred one.  Do you want me to uninstall the 2010 version and install the 2008 version suggested by iroc9555???
