Unfortunately I don't have the relevant log any more as I'm now using a version that doesn't have the problem.
NET Framework 2 installed? If not, install it. Last but not least, do you have at least the. The only stage in which there were issues was during the beta and some release candidate, but almost never in the stable version and definitely never in the latest one. This time, if it doesn't work, I'll send you an executable to make a full system report (it's the one I used to run when I encountered problems and I had to report them).Īs to the POSReady updates, no, they are not mentioned in the forum for obvious reasons, but during the tests on VMs, incompatibilities have been checked against an updated version of XP.

Please use the official Avast cleaner to remove every trace of the programme, reboot, download the latest offline version and make sure that you are online when you are doing the installation. Googling that just produces a reference to someone on the Avast forum with exactly the same problem, but no you share the whole log file? Have you disabled some Windows Services? Please note that some of them are required by Avast to work properly (I remember a customer complaining that the automatic update screwed up his install, but it really was just because of a service not running).
The only clue as to why the service is not running in versions later than 18.3 is in avastsvc.log, where it says on every boot " failed to connect to service controller". I've done umpteen uninstalls, system cleaning, and clean installs with the later versions, nothing makes any difference. Thanks I've checked everything that's in the Avast troubleshooting documents about the UI not starting (which is because the main Avast AV service is not running), and everything is as it should be. I hope this might shed a bit of light to your woes.
