(111) Disk error RR?? NOD 2.5

When trying to install NOD32 2.5 trial I get the following error message. "(111) Disk error RR"
What does this mean? I've deleted all files ESET folder etc but when i try to clean install I receive a message asking me if I want to use current settings (It doesn't matter if I tick or untick the box) and then I go through the setup process and right before it's finished i get the error message above.I've defraged the drive and scan disked but still have no luck. My hard drive is a new SCSI if that makes any difference. I mention that because My other pc HD is a standard ATA and NOD installed no problems,

 

The Windows error 111 is ERROR_BUFFER_OVERFLOW (the file name is too long), according to Windows Error codes list avaible here .
I know that Nod32 uses Windows GetLastError(), but I don't know if this one is from this or not.
If it can hepls .....

Regards

 

Thanks for replying zashita. I'm not sure how the name being to long would effect the install though? Seeing as the same version of NOD installed on my other PC with no problems at all.

What previous Anti-virus do/did you have?

I had an earlier full version of NOD32 and uninstalled it. I then installed 2.5 and keep getting the error message. I even started the comp in safe mode but it still wouldn't install??

 

Do the following files exist?

C Drive> Windows> Temp

C Drive> Documents and Settings> (User Name) XXXXXX> Local Settings> Temp

Cheers

 

I'll have to check tomorrow. If they do exist do I need to clean them out?

You can, no harm in doing so...

Cheers

 

I deleted the temp folders and am still getting the error. During install there is still a tick in the box asking if I want to keep my current settings even though NOD was uninstalled using add/remove programs? Any other ideas?

Cheers,

Did you remove the Eset Folder from C Drive> Program Files after uninstalling?

Cheers

 

Hi Blackspear,
Yes I did. I scandisked the drive. I also Ran system mechanic and registry first aid. I just restarted the comp in safe mode tried to reinstall and I'm still getting the same error message. This is driving me nuts and that's the kids job

 

If you have the backup after running system mechanic and registry first aid, Try to roll them back, I think the problem lies there.

 

While I and others still ponder on your problem and offer solutions, can you please send an email to support@nod32.com and place a link to this thread. If you do not hear from Eset within 3 days (allows for weekends), please advise us here...

We would appreciate if you could keep us in the loop with your progress, as we all learn this way…

Cheers

 

Hi Blackspear,
Great news!! After much head scratching, lots of deep breaths and a cuppa I finally fixed it. I went through the registry and deleted the NOD32 and ESET entries manually and I also stopped the Admin service which hadn't disappeared after the previous uninstall. All seems to be fine now and I thank you for trying to help me out.

Cheers,

Maxy

 

Good to see Maxy, and thanks for letting us know.

Cheers

 

When reinstalling NOD32, it's always necessary to reboot the machine prior to running setup.exe, or you may end up with the error above.
