Outpost Firewall Install/Uninstall help

Hi guys, I had windows 8 but decided it wasn't for me and installed a clean copy of windows 7 but while installing Outpost Firewall 8 it seems something has gone wrong and it doesn't load. I get this in the taskbar notification area and it never changes:



I have tried to uninstall the program but while the following window is open it closes within seconds and never completes:



If I try to reinstall Outpost I get this error:



I have booted into safemode and tried to uninstall and tried run clean.exe but it says I am not in safe mode (I am)

Do you have any ideas on what I can try next to either install or uninstall?

I also have Avast free installed where as before I have always used the paid for NOD32, I don't know if that may have caused any problems but even disabling it permanently, Outpost doesn't load...

 

I downloaded another copy of clean.exe from Agnitum's website and that worked so Outpost is uninstalled. Going to try and do another install in a few minutes.

Not sure why my copy of clean.exe didn't work though...

Hopefully the install goes ok this time..

 

Finally got Outpost working

 

Good going.

 

Right on glad it worked out!!

 

Hi poison: -
Yes, very interested in how Outpost performs for you.

Thanks for posting.

PS: You did good! There are other posts here on uninstalling Outpost...it can sometimes be a little difficult [maybe not as much as the crud left behind by early versions of Zone Alarm]

see here young man [love that expression of Bellgamin's]....

Thanks all!

I am glad it worked out OK in the end, it was the first problem I've ever had with Outpost and I have been using it years... Hopefully any other people having a similar problem can quickly resolve it by using the info posted by myself and Feandur's link.

 

What happened to Bellgamin? I haven't seen any posts from him in forever. I hope he is well and just taking a break from Wilders.

 

No news I am aware of....
We all pray that Bill is well and ask after his health............
