After trying to install A.V.G. 3 times, I keep getting the following error:

Quote:

Local machine: installation failed
Installation:
Error: Action failed for registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\AVG: creating registry key....
Error 0x80070005

I am guessing that means the program cannot access the registry. What are some things I can do to help install A.V.G? They have virtually no tech support and are impossible to contact. I also have no other Anti-Virus programs with the exception of Ad-Aware and Spybot.

Check in the registry to make sure there isnt a data entry for AVG, if there is one delete it then try the install again.

Run >> regedit and bowse to where AVG says it cant install.

Also AVG seems to be finicky about installing without at least Winows XP2 or Vista. (or Windows ME SP4)

I checked the location and tried to open it. It said "Error opening key" I then tried to delete it and it gave me the same error.

AVG is useless junk.

Also, be sure that there are as few programs running in the background as possible. When installing Anti-virus software it is important that nothing else interferes in the registration process, which may be what is happening here.
