I downloaded and installed Defender Beta 2..with no problem .
Hovever each time I tried the updates I got an error:
"Wrong disk, etc, Insert %2 disk, etc.

I tried several times..scan seemed to go OK but whats this wrong disk and
the %Disk bit?
Any ideas why updates goofed up?

I completely removed Defender and returned to Beta 1

Thanks in advance

That's pretty interesting--can you say more about exactly when the "disk"
related messages appear? I haven't seen this, and I'm not sure at all what
to make of it--it almost sounds like the installer errors with the older
version.
 
Bill,
Me thinks that the same as the screenshot I mailed over to you.

Yes Bill,
It shows immediately after I select updates

Can't do much about it now as I deleted Beta 2 and I'm back with Beta 1,
which I have no problems with except it has never since day one found
anything.
 
Thanks - Ron Chamberlin has seen a similar message. We'll get a resolution
of his problem, and when we have a fix or workaround, I'll write back to
this thread.

If you want to retry this, I think we have a fix for it now:
---
1) Uninstall WD thru Add and Remove Programs

2) Launch cmd prompt

3) MsiExec.exe /x {A5CC2A09-E9D3-49EC-923D-03874BBD4C2C}

4) Delete all contents of Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Definition Updates

5) Reinstall WD
