Hi,
I've successfully replicated the problem in this way:
-freshly installed Windows XP SP2 on a virtual machine. Two accounts, Administrator and Test (non admin user, he belongs to "User" group)
-installed Avast Professional Italian Version as admin (setup downloaded some months ago, so im sure VPS is not updated). Version is 4.7.1043, VPS is 00779-0 october 2007
-machine rebooted, logon with Administrator (with network disconnected in order not to update the program), check that install does not report any error -> everything ok
-machine rebooted, user Test logged in -> tryin to update iAVS pops up "Summary" box with no information inside (i suppose it tries to show the previous update summary and it cant find it)
-checking setup.log file doesnt show anything particular, but i have found a Warning.log that reports one line for each failed attempt:
11/01/2008 11.06.44 1200046004 test 164 Function setifaceUpdatePackages() has failed. Return code is 0x00000426, dwRes is 00000000.
11/01/2008 11.12.45 1200046365 test 164 Function setifaceUpdatePackages() has failed. Return code is 0x00000426, dwRes is 00000000.
All the Avast services are up and running as Local System account (i have not changed anything here, just verified everything's ok)
PS Using Internet Explorer i can successfully reach avast.com site (so browsing is ok)
Now i'll try to do some more testing...
