That's odd, I have installed AVG on many machines without a hitch. Is the installer possibly corrupted?

Is that an insult or are you trying to be funny?

You don't have to uninstall 7.1. The 7.5 installer program will take care of that. He was referring to the installer program, not you.

If I remember right, when you run the program, you have to pick "Repair", in order to do the upgrade.

Powerpig got it. You thought I was referring to YOU as the "installer". I refer to the .exe or .msi files as "installer". Oops.

I would try shutting down all unecessary programs in the tray or go into the task manager and axe everything and try running the installation again.

What kind of search are you referring to? If the 7.5 works, just delete the 7.1 icon. Sometimes programs uninstall but leave icons and other stuff behind. If you want to have some real fun, you can edit the program out via your registry.

I take it you're running XP.
Do a system restore to a earlier time before you tried to uninstall 7.1 and install 7.5.
Re download 7.5.
Don't try to uninstall 7.1, just run the 7.5 install. You should be good to go.

I got that same message and managed to get it installed. My memory is a little fuzzy but I think there was an option to install it anyway???
