So, for years I have use AVG. I have also been using it with Win 7 64bit. I had to recently reinstall Win 7. After that, I put on AVG Free. Then, the problems started. It would not update.

I searched all the threads. UAC, fine. Folder permissions, fine. Internet connection, working fine, and reset for the heck of it. So, I wanted to try a reinstall. Now, system will not uninstall. So, shut down services. Removed Reg entries. Removed AVG Folders. Reboot, verify and reboot again.

Now, I'm trying to reinstall, and I get an error. I'm at my wits end here, after 4 days of this, and would like to try and get some help.

Error code on set up is 0xC0070644, General internal Error, MSI Engine: Failed to install the product.

I have AVGInstLog if someone needs to see one of those files.

@ RcRon7

We recommend following AVG uninstall/reinstall instructions (Free Edition / Home paid products) carefully, if you experience installation difficulties. If the issue persists please provide the most recent AVG installation log files.

@ Big Al

Big Al, thank you for the very quick response. I'm not new to forums and my frustration was raising fast.

I have run the uninstaller, and it appears to have worked. So, now the installer is Running, however, it ran into a Setup error and stopped. I'm still unable to install the file avg_free_x64_all_2012_1873a4623

I have one user on this PC, and it is set for administrator.

Install Logs are attached.


Again, many thanks for your help.

Hello RcRon7,

There appear to be some access issues to AVG folders, please proceed as follows:
- Perform all removal steps in full reinstallation instructions once again.
- Run Reset Access tool.
- Reinstall with full package.

Should the issue still persist, try to create new temporary user profile with administrative rights or enable built-in Administrator account and try to install from it.
Provide us with fresh installation log files and MSinfo output if the installation fails even with another account.

Thank you
