vvaid117 Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) Okay, so here's my storyI wanted to uninstall symantec antivirus because it was really not userfriendly and i really disliked it. (My Windows Alert showed that i had no Anti Virus). So i uninstalled it. Then i did a system recover (another long story). So when I recovered I thought all was well in Middle Earth , but little did i know this horrible symantec monster comes on. Everytime i delete a file using the delete key or everytime i right-click my recycling bin, Windows installer shows up and tries to install symantec. After a little it'll give me a message stateing "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'SAVCE_9.0.0.1400_AllWin_EN.msp' in the box below."Then when i downloaded the file from these wonderful forums, i thought everything was back to normal, but then Windows Installer went to a different screen stating that i needed the Symantec Antivirus disk so install this package named "Symantec AntiVirus.msi". I dont have the disk because i lost it LONG ago and didn't ever care for it cause it was labeled symantec . Can someone send me this Installation package for version SAVCE_9.0.0.1400 ?I just wanna uninstall this horror.Or if anyone knows other ways they can help me to stop this, please i am desperate Any kind of Help is greatly appreciated .

InTheWayBoy Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 This really isn't all that great of a fix, but try this:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;290301It's a tool M$ put out to manually remove Windows Installer information from your computer...I've used it in cases like this. Basically what I do is find what Windows Installer is launching, then remove it. Of course, that 'breaks' that programs uninstall, so it's not the best as I mentioned, but it stops the pop-ups.Maybe someone else has a better way of doing it?
chilifrei64 Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 That tool you mentioned was what I was thinking of after reading the first 2 posts only to find that you said it first.. This utility should take care of your problem
