    I just bought NOD32 3.0 and I can't install it sucessfully on Vista. After install is finnished, I get a warning that the resident protection can not start, and that I have to re-install the program. I have tried that three times now, but I get the same error everytime. What is going on here?

    What was your previous security product & was it completely uninstalled?

    Oh... now I got it to work... What I did this time was to choose "typical" instead of "custom".

    I should mention that I am helping a friend with this and I'm not very used to Vista. But I always choose "custom install" when I get the choice. The only thing I changed that could have affected the install is the install location. Since this is a Swedish Vista, I changed the install path to "program" instead of "program files". Could that be it?

    Ok... confirmed now. The problem was changing from "program files" to "program" install path. Seems to work fine now. Thanks for your quick support anyway.
