    Hello maaster,


    Service Pack 1 is highly recommended for functioning of the BitDefender.


    I think is a best option for you to install the Service Pack 1 via Windows updates and then try to install Bitdefender again .


    Due to incomplete installation that you have started, would not be bad that you first run


    Bitdefender Uninstall Tool 2013 (right click<run as administrator).


    Please sent your feedback to tell us what you have done.


    Best regards.

    Hello again,


    Also when you try to run Bitdefender installer, offline or online you must "run as administrator".


    Have a nice day.

    Thank you for your follow up information maaster, that was helpful :)


    As alexx mentioned, there are system requirements that need to be met for a successful instal: http://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/inter...%20Requirements


    Widows 7 S.P. 1 information and download link can be found from here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows...-service-pack-1


    After doing the above, run the uninstall tool provided by alexx, then I also like to run CCleaner (free version) in normal cleaner mode, then you can download and right click Run as Admin, a full .exe file of your purchased Bitdefender version from here: http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=35494


    Hopefully this will get you up and running, let us know :)

    Hello :)


    Welcome to the forums!


    Right now, there is no other way. Bitdefender 2012/2013 can only be installed on Windows 7 only if Service Pack 1 is installed.


    If you can not install it, please temporary install Bitdefender 2011 from here:


    http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?sho...ost&p=88869


    Take care.

    Until Christian can help you, you can use MSE, it is has a small footprint, and will be easily uninstalled as needed when the times comes, and we're hopefully able to help you :) If you do this, please run the Bitdefender Uninstall tool first, for the version you had tried to install.

    Hello maaster,


    In your post #9 you said that you can install Bitdefender 2012. I suggest you to do it again and wait for a Christian response, because in that case you will be able to make "BDSP" file which will be of great help in solving of your problem.


    Installing other anti virus software can cause a further complications in the already very complicated situation.


    I'm sorry you're going through this, but be a little more patient, the only depth analysis of your system may influence the final solution.


    Thank you for your understanding.

    Is there any other way to create a log?if not pls post a link for online installer for BD IS 12...not an offline installer because an online installer will say immediately while downloading setup files whether it is compatible or not?so I need not download offline installer which is about 250 mb...

  • atlast I figured it out....I ran bitdefender uninstaller in safe mode and then tried to install...it works now....thanks to bitdefender support for helping me :D

    Which version of Bitdefender you currently use, latest or one of the previous ?


    Do you still have a problem with upgrading to the 2013 version ?


    Have a nice day.

    Hello maaster,


    I'm glad that you finally solved your primary issue and after a lot of trouble finally successfully installed the latest version of Bitdefender.


    As for your current issue about the internet speed, you'll have to wait for a Christian response, because he knows best how to help you.


    While you waiting for Christian response, feel free to run the speed test of your Internet.


    Have a nice day.
