try the installation again in safe mode.

Are you in an admin account or limited account?

What you need to do is boot into safe mode. Then open the device manager, go to view>>Show hidden devices. On the list of devices expand Non-Plug and Play drivers. Find ehdrv and epfwtdir and uninstall them. Reboot to normal mode and follow the instructions in the following knowledgebase article.

Hi All,

Thanks for your inputs, please find my answers below..

the system is logged in as Administrator with all rights, i'm able to install and uninstall other softwares in the same login account.

The AV can't be installed in Safe Mode

And followed the steps given by ThomasC, but there are no such entries as such in non plug and play devices.

Kindly advice as to what might be the issue, i have this issue in 3 systems out of 9. in rest of the systems i was able to install and update.

Best Wishes,
Ninja

Hey Ninja Warrior-

By the looks of your snapshot you're running XP (Pro or Home?) SP3?

Check the folder's Properties>Security settings and make sure you've got the proper settings for Permissions, not just for Administrators (YourMachineName\Administrators) but also for YourUserName(YourMachineName\YourUserName).

When you installed XP did you enter a password for Admistrator during the setup? Plus the name you entered on the first Welcome screen does put you in the Administrators Group but you don't necessarily have explicit rights.

Also, did you uninstall previous build of ESS before you installed the current one? Looks like during last most installation (according to the pic) that you're overwriting an existing ESET SS file and perhaps ESET's previous installation might be blocking from getting written over.

Hello,

Is there any other security software on your computer? If so, does disabling it make any difference in installing ESET Smart Security?

Hi,

Thanks for your inputs,

Yes the OS is XP Home SP 2 there seems to be no issue with the login user name or permissions.

also i had completely uninstalled the previous version of ESS SS and there are no other security software installed.

I think i have zeroed in on the issue, there seems to bea virut virus infection which i intend to use a bootable disk and clean.

Will keep you guys posted.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

I had reformatted all the 3 systems,as nothing else seemed to work.
I was then able to install ESET SS and update.

You can consider this thread to be closed.

hello
originally ,when i went to install any version of ess 4,it would bsod when it got to installing drivers.
i turned of my nic in the bios,and now it rolls back the installation all the time ,instead.
no bsod,just rolls back.
still can't install it.
i have vista sp2,but i believe this would have happened with vista sp1 too.
any ideas?
regards
