AVG free 9.0 install gives MSVC error

by bobhoust - 11/14/09 9:21 PM

My laptop came with AVG free 8 and some time ago it did it's last scan. I decide to do a scan but AVG wasn't there. OK I said lets update or install AVG 9.0. Every thing installs till the end and I get the error (Error: MSVC Redistributables installation failed. Installation of AVG can not continue.)So I delete it all and anything I could find about AVG and tried again to end up just the same. I'm running Windows XP, Safari, Chrome and IE8. Now what should I do I'm not protected. Any info will help.

Did that and a windows installer window came up which says " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. "
Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package " VCREDist.msi" in the box below.

Use Source:
C:\DOCUME~1\default\LOCALS~1\Temp\7zS6C.tmp\
or
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable [Disk1]

So that didn't work.

And another box that says
The installation source for this product is not available.
Verify that the source exists and that yot can access it.

Tried to reinstall AVG 9 Free again with the same results.
