Hi HCM
if it is a WarpIN installation ...
... you may have to clean your WarpIN database entries !?

If you have set the path to the WarpIN directory you may
call WarpIN from the command line and then check and
clean its entries:

First you check for its integrity and if not OK do erase the
NVC entries. After this I would suggest a reboot and then
a retry of the installation !

Well, if this does not work you may need assistance from
Norman ! I would need to do so also ;-(

Good luck, svobi

Version 5 of Norman Antivirus installs using WarpIn (I don't know
about
previous versions). There are advantages to using WarpIn as an
installer. Basically, WarpIn keeps a database of everything
installed by
it. Therefore, you can easily:

A. Upgrade to another version
B. Completely and fully deinstall the application from your
system, if
you desire

Anyhow, that's the theory at least!
HCM
