DarkSnakeKobra Posted May 13, 2011 ID:428886 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Assuming you tried running it as an administrator? Also make sure under Control Panel\Folder Options\View the box labeled "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked so you know it's identified correctly.

DarkSnakeKobra Posted May 13, 2011 ID:428896 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Ok. Make sure the file is unblocked and permissions are correct by right clicking Properties and select Unblock. Then click Security, Edit and click your name and make sure read/execute is checked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted May 13, 2011 ID:428903 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Please follow Buttons' instructions as it looks like he's onto it, but I'd also ask that you try moving the file to another location and try running it from there, such as your desktop or documents folder, or even the root of C: to see if that makes a difference. If it does, then it could be a permissions issue with your Downloads folder.Also verify that you don't have any firewall, HIPS or sandboxing software that might be preventing any activity being performed or attempted by the installers.

exile360 Posted May 14, 2011 ID:428915 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Yep, running it from the Windows folder or a subfolder of it (SysWOW64) could have done something, as exe's do run with higher privileges there I believe or it could have been the uninstaller, though I believe all of the current uninstallers call the same commands so it shouldn't make a difference (I typically use Programs and Features first, then run the latest uninstaller, all with my browser closed, then install the latest version).

exile360 Posted May 14, 2011 ID:428919 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Kaspersky has a sandbox, and if you're using KIS, especially with the settings cranked up, it can be quite hindering. I use KAV so I don't generally encounter any such issues as it doesn't have as many HIPS like features like KIS does (which I'm guessing is what you have).

It's very powerful stuff and great for security, but it can sometimes get in the way . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
