Internet Security 2011 Install Mess

[email protected] · July 2011

Hi I purchased 3 pc x 2 yr license for 2011 internet security from Amazon downloads and am having problems.

I was upgrading from Internet Security 2010, which is about to expire. Downloaded installer from Amazon and ran it. Got hung up on the final step. Installer said something about "...IE components" and got hung up there. After an hour or so I stopped the installation.

I contacted chat support and was told I was supposed to follow the instructions in the email sent to me and I was given a link for an uninstall tool to be run first. (btw no such email was sent to me). I ran the uninstall tool and tried to reboot my pc - ended up having to pull the plug.

Then re-ran the installer from Amazon and got hung up in the exact same place. Contacted chat support again. This time the agent said my case would have to be referred to tech support for follow up. I said I would run system restore to put my computer back to where it was prior to all the installation attempts. He said that was a good idea.

Ran system restore, now I have no internet connectivity on that computer. Network connections are all fine but I have tried several things to restore internet connectivity on that one pc and I cannot. Other pcs and devices on the network have internet access.

The machine in question is running XP Professional version 5.1, SP 3

Please help!

Please follow the steps below and send me the generated log file:

3. A command prompt window will appear on your screen. Please note that the information gathering process can take several minutes therefore please wait until the window disappear by itself.

Hello,

I have analyzed the logs you sent and found that you have used the option RUN instead of SAVE when using the installation kit for BitDefender.

Hello,

Thanks very much for your prompt reply. Sorry for sending multiple messages - I was frustrated and just trying to find help.

I have now actually got BDIS successfully installed on my desktop. I was kind of surprised by your note saying that I had selected run instead of save for the downloads. I downloaded using Chrome and when I went to the installer file I had downloaded, there was no option other than to run.

Thinking that maybe Chrome was causing at least some of the trouble, what I ended up doing was downloading the installer using IE. The other different step I took was to install a trial version as I had problems with my product key earlier. Once the installation was obviously successful, I entered my product key without difficulty. Anyway, those combined changes resulted in a successful installation - at last!

I have 2 additional computers to install on - wish me luck! And please send me any installation tips you might have. I computer is a netbook with xp running BDIS 2009 the other is a desktop with windows 7 professional with BDIS 2010.

Thanks very much!

Laureen

Hi Laureen,

Well there are two tips I can give you related to the installation:

- save the offline installation kit file (the big one - 250MB) instead of using the Online installer;

- make sure your PC meets the system requirements before upgrading to 2011 - I would install 2011 on the PC with Windows 7 however I would stick on the laptop with 2009/2010.

When the download is complete please make sure that you right click on the saved file and you select "Run as Administrator" - for Windows Vista and Windows 7 only.

If you need any further assistance please let me know.

Kind regards,
