I hate to sound like a whiner, but . . . Why is it that
installing Microsoft's own software on a computer running
under its own operating system is always the most
difficult and frustrating?? (Well, not always. Symantec's
Norton Systemworks is even worse -- to the point that I've
abandoned that bloated product altogether.)
That's just the lead-in. Here are the details:
I'm running WinXP Home SP2 and MS Antispyware 1.0.614. I
downloaded .615 and attempted to install. Well into the
process, the following error message popped up:
"Error 1335. The cabinet file 'Data1.cab' required for
this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This
could indicate a network error, an error reading from the
CD-ROM, or a problem within this package."
I have deleted all temp files (that are not locked), all
offline content, and have run Windows Install Cleanup
utility. And I have downloaded MicrosoftSpywareInstall.exe
numerous times, each time with the same byte count. Same
error recurs no matter what I do.
Anyone got any fresh ideas?
Also, when I select 'Check for updates' from .614's File
menu, it repeatedly says it's updating definition files
from 5727 to 5735. AND it always says I am using latest
software, despite the fact that I am running .614. What's
the story here?
TIA for any insights anyone can provide.
