the installer broke down with the error 1309 could not create folder, user
oder group not valided. The error list is not helpfully. i think the
installer routine has a big mistake.
 
Are you sure that the error is 1309?i think you are refering to error 1609
that appears in non english windows versions...a workaround for this is to go
1. go to command prompt (start...run...cmd and enter)
2. write: net localgroup Users /add
3. Install windows defender
4. go to command prompt again and write: net localgroup Users /delete
Hope it help
 
Hi Pandaren,

thanks for the workaround. I had message 1609 showing up on WinXP Home
German. Your solution worked. Even with the error message still open.
Pressing the RETRY button in the installer did its job.

Thanks ! it solved my problem on a french version of Windows XP. It seems
that there are still developpers at Microsoft who don't know that outside USA
there are countries where people don't speak english and that the group
called "Users" is called "Utilisateurs" in the French version of Windows and
is translated in other languages in other versions of Windows ...
