AVG install problem
Hi, not sure if this is the right NG but here goes: I have a Win98 machine which has AVG6 free edition on it, Due to a recent known problem with older versions I decided to install a newer version. Anyways after downloading the lates free version I run the *.exe file to install, but after the initial system setup box, I get an error message saying: Visual Studio Installer Loader The Loader did not find the Windows installer package C:\ Temp\Mailwasher.msi Why in the hell does AVG want the said installer to load onto my win98 system??? I did have that file in the location specified above, but removed it. I have removed the older version of AVG and rebooted, but still cannot install the newer version Help please Thanks -- Bob H Leeds UK |

AVG install problem
Problems like these are often caused by the presence of prior, possibly
uncompleted, installation files on the system. Restart the computer, then erase all files and folders in the \Windows\Temp folder (but DO leave the Temp folder there!), then try installing your software again. -- Richard G.

AVG install problem
Thanks, but the fix was to move the AVG setup program out of the C:\temp
folder to anywhere else, and it installed from there. I did remove all files and folders as you advised, but it still wanted a *.msi file to install, and compalined it couldn't find the said file, so closed down. Sorted now thanks -- Bob H Leeds UK "Richard G. Harper" wrote in message ... Problems like these are often caused by the presence of prior, possibly uncompleted, installation files on the system.

AVG install problem
The file you removed is a Windows system file, and plays
a vital part in installing many applications. You will need to copy it back off another 98SE computer. -----Original Message----- Hi, not sure if this is the right NG but here goes: I have a Win98 machine which has AVG6 free edition on it, Due to a recent known problem with older versions I decided to install a newer version.

AVG install problem
It is not a W98 file--it was probably part of the MailWasher spam program.
