    Unable to install Avast due network error.(Win7 Prox32)


    I've downloaded the newest installation package several times and changed even between Home and Pro packages. Error stays the same, and as far as I've found out it's due to a network error. Has anyone else experienced the problem?

    Here is the error log that Avast installer gives:

    Problem still unsolved, any ideas for procedures? I've been able to install avast on my work machine where I run Win 7 Enterprise x64.

    I've also tried to run the install as Administrator, but no result with that.

    As you can see in the description, Avast tries to download files and there it fails.

    Was your version of Avast a fresh copy or an old one

    I mean if one doesn't work delete the file do a restart then download it again
    clear your temp files too

    I have had a problem at time only getting a part of a file & this was a fix
    so your first download may had been a bad one then each copy from then on was a copy of the corrupt file
    Just an idea
    & there doesn't seem to be any difference between Home & Pro

    I first thought it would have been corrupt, but that was not the case. I downloaded it again and no result.

    Now the problem is solved folks. Guess what! Windows installed some updates and voila, installing works!

    Thanks for the help.
