Why are you asking? Of course it's normal. As I said, by far not all SP2 users are affected by this strange behavior...
I didn't saw that...  :)

Thanks

The only places I have encountered this problem is when installing applications using older versions of Installshield.  This includes recent updates to some of my programs, but since applications don't seem to use old versions of this installer, it probably only affects a few people with apps using these installers.

Hopefully this will help someone who hasn't installed Avast in the default location.  I have attached a registry files that will fix the problems for the following location you might have installed Avast :-

c:\program files\Alwil Software\Avast4\

Change the file extension from .txt to .reg before double-clicking the file.

I suggest checking it looks OK in a text editor and of course use at your own risk. If it doesn't work, you can always edit the registry manually as suggested above.

I will post for other locations below (don't think I can attach more than one file).

x:\IamnotgonnatellwhereIinstalled it?

Just kidding ;D ;D ;D

Nice job, I think you helped a lot of people.

Just wanted to say sorry in advance if I've broken any forum etiquette by making these 10 posts, but I couldn't see any other way to do it.  Do hope it helps though.

Welcome to the Forums.
I'm sure this will help some of the users. Since each post has a file attached, I don't think there is any other way then making individual posts. Thanks
