I am running Windows XP Pro with my program directory in a separate partition.
Can you post your 'full' avast setup folder? Where did you install avast?
Which avast version are you trying to install?
"avast! Splash Screen" cannot load configuration.'; then after clicking OK I get: 'The system cannot open the device or file specified "avast! Simple User Interface cannot load configuration.' I have tried to repair from add/remove programs as well as uninstalled and reinstalled.
Can you check your C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\Data\avast4.ini file if the value
Database=SQLT is on the section
[Common].
Check your avast! services: Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
I suppose you have to have four avast! services:
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashServ.exe (avast! antivirus service)
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashUpdSv.exe (avast! Update Service)
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashWebSv.exe (avast! Web Scanner service)
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashMaiSv.exe (avast! e-Mail Scanner service)
The two first of them should be Automatic loaded and the two last Manually loaded.
