« on: December 14, 2011, 09:27:08 AM »
Hello.

When i tried to install the last avast on windows 2000, the setup says he needs the hotfix 816542, but i can't find that update.

What should i do to fix this?

Thanks.

Hi Babarbib,

Sorry for chipping in...

Why are you using such an old Operating system?

It's very insecure as support ended in July 2010.

Hello,

Milos and babarbib,

Please take note: for Windows 2000, the SP4 is needed, but also Rollup Update 1 (RU1) is needed.

The original KB is now (and since a long time ago) part of it.

The requirements should say "Win2K+SP4+RU1".
