Tried to install windows defender on Windows 2000. Got message "This
software requires GDI+. Please load Windows 2000 security software
PreRequisite Pack". Did windowsupdate and updated everything and still get
the error...

Help!
 
Got the same error message and unable to continue the installation! Don't
know what to do..
 
Fount it!!! This is what you need: just extract it in your WINNT\SYSTEM32
directory before running the Windows Defender installation. It works! Enjoy :D
 
I was also trying to install Windows Defender yesterday and received the same
error messages. What did you say you extracted to the WINNT\SYSTEM32 folder?
 
Ooops, forgot to post the link! Just click on the link below and download the
gdiplus_dnld.exe file. It is a self-extracting file: unzip it in your
WINNT\SYSTEM32 (the path depends on your system configuration) dir and then
run the Windows Defender installation MSI. If the link doesn't work, look for
"Platform SDK Redistributable: GDI+" at the Microsoft Download Center. NOTE:
Windows Validation Required for downloading the file.

again.Thanks "Enrico". I had the same problem of "GDI+..." but your
suggestion helped and I could install 'Defender' successfully. Keep up good
work of helping others. Thanks again. Shashank
 
Thank you!!!
I had been searching for that for a while now and couldn't find it...
This kind of thing either needs more info in the error msg, or a link to the
webpage in the error... or at least some kind of info on one of the Windows
Defender webpages... :-)
 
Thanks!
