Hi there
Since none really could help I simply solved the named problem myself. Don't worry, I also wrote a letter to SoftWin with description.
this needs some knowledge to msi-techs (microsoft installer)
to solve the problem U need the Orca-Tool included in the Windows Installer SDK which U can get from here.
- install the MSI-SDK and go to the folder where U installed it
- here U find the "orca.msi", this installs the orca-toolkit
Orca should now appear in Ur Startmenu
- Run and close it to register the "edit with orca"-method for msi-files
- now unpack the bitdefender installation file
its only a selfextracting cab-archive, winrar should do the job
- do a right-click to the msi-file and select "edit with orca" (with the orca symbol)
U see the edit window, the left side are the categories, the right are the entries
- select category "Components" on the left, sort the table by "component",
then search for the psapi-entry and delete it
- do the same in the category "files"
- there's another entry in the "FeaturesComponents"-category but its not necessary to delete it
- now save the file and close the editor
- to install BitDefender click on "Setup.exe" in the same folder where the msi-file is located
- the whole unpacked setup contains the following files:
- InstMsiA.exe (Part of Windows Installer)
- InstMsiW.exe (Part of Windows Installer)
- Setup.exe
- bdfree.msi or a similar file
I only tried with the free version but it should also run with the commercials till SoftWin solves the problem generally.
Please spread this out to other forums and add Notations if U have!
I cannot attach files because they are too large.
If allowed by moderators I'll post filesharing-links to the modded files.
