Impossible uninstallation

[REDACTED]

Hello everyone,
I have some troubles making Avast (free edition) working lately. I want to uninstall/reinstall it.
But the uninstallation give me the following message :

Code: [Select]

So I tried avastclear.exe, which give me this :

Code: [Select]

The stub cannot run installer/updater executable 'C:\Program Files\AVAST \setup\Sfx\instup.exe' (code 0x3)
So I'm completely stuck with an unworking avast 

But I saw this problem have been largely encountered and I ran FRST64. My logs are uploaded with this message.

Could anyone write the Fixlist for me ?
That would be awesome !

Thanks for reading,
Ouack

OK first you must disable Avast self protection

Open Avast > Settings > Trouble shooting > disable self protection

If you are unable to do that then run FRST from safe mode

Ok i ran FRST fix in safe mode with network support to copy your code to fixlist.txt, which gave me ... a blue screen of death. Then I ran it from normal safe mode and it worked. Fixlog joined.
I tried to run avastclear, it gave me the same error.

Try and install fresh copy now

Really ? Even if my avast is not uninstalled ?

[essexboy]

I removed the main files and installed drivers, then emptied the temp files so there should be no remnants left

The installers I have linked to are the full ones

[REDACTED]

Nope, I dwonloaded tour files but can't launch the setup, I have the stub error once again.
I still have an "AVAST" and an "AVAST Software" directory.

- Remove all files/folders from avast
- Remove all entries from avast in the registry
- Reboot
- Check if nothing is left
- Run CCleaner and let it remove all non needed (temp) files and such as well as obsolete/wron registry entries
- Reboot
- Install the latest version of avast

I did, it worked ! Thank both of you !
I think the main reason to my difficulties was the space in the installation path, it was like C:\Program Files\AVAST \ because I made a mistake when I installed it a long time ago.

Bye,

Good to hear it is solved now.
Take care, stay safe and have a happy Eastern.
