Hi Folks!

I would appreciate the advice of the experts on my following problem:

1. At present I have AVG Free Build 510 installed on my PC.

2. Because I have been exp. some problems with this I want to uninstall

this and replace with the latest version (Build 516), which I have

already downloaded but have not set-up yet.

3. My problem is that I am unable to uninstall the Build 510 version due to

a problem. The following error message appears before the uninstall

could be finalised:

Local machine: installation failed

Installation:

Error: Action failed for file setup.exe: creating backup....

Access is denied. (5) %DESTINATION% = "C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free\setup.exe.install_backup", %SOURCE% = "C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free\setup.exe"

4. I would like to know how to resolve this in order to remove Build 510

from my computer.

Your assistance in this will be most appreciated.

Thanks!

Gerry

I have always just gone to AVG and downloaded the latest version. Upon installation it would see an older version and delete it if it needed to.
