AIS Update from 5.1 to 6.0.1000: WebRep plugin does not install
« on: February 23, 2011, 09:15:39 PM »
I've just updated my AIS suite using internal updater. On the reboot Avast asked me if I want to install WebRep. I accepted but no plug-in was installed on Explorer 8 nor on Firefox 3.6.13. Avast Gui states that Firefox is not installed and that WebRep is not installed in Explorer 8. Forcing install on Explorer 8 from the Avast GUI generates a popup error, telling that there was an error installing WEB REP.

I was looking at Avast setup log file inside the Avast installation directory but I can't find any installation error; also the webrep directory is under Avast folder with an FF folder inside.

Any chance to manually add the plug-in to Firefox? Do you need any log to investigate?

I'm on Windows Vista 64 bit with all Windows update patches applied.

Simon

** PARTIALLY FIXED
I try to repair the installation; after the reboot I was able to install WebRep in Explorer 8. But Avast GUI still states that Firefox is not installed on my machine!

Can you please export the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Clients\\StartMenuInternet and send it to me?

Thanks

Thanks. Can you please check that there is a file

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

on your system?

Thanks

Yes, Firefox.exe is present in that path.

And still, the avast UI (Additional Protection -> WebRep page) says that Firefox is not installed? (I mean the browser, not the WebRep plugin)?

Yes; firefox icon is grayed in the Avast GUI; Avast states that Firefox is not installed on my system. The check mark below is checked to control new browser installations.

Hi,
just wanted to say that I have exactly the same problem with vista x64.
- all updates installed
- Firefox is at correct path and latest version

I also repaired avast to get the IE plug-in installed and functioning.
Webrep says Firefox is not installed.

At your disposal for any help

thesilentman, for reference, please also send me the export from the reg key mentioned above...

Generally speaking, can everyone who's having the problem please confirm that he's using 64-bit version of Windows?

Thanks

I'm using a Windows 7 SP1 computer.  I only have IE8 installed as a browser and I'm having the exact same issue with the WebRep plugin.  It works fine on my other Win XP computers, just not the Windows 7 machine. 

From the Internet Security program GUI, WebRep shows to not be instlled even though I installed it during the upgrade installation process.  From within IE8, I can click on Tools>Internet Options>Programs>Manage Add-ons and I can enable or disable the WebRep from there, just not from within your program.  It throws the above mentioned error every time I try. 

Thanks,

Robert
