Avast! broke ZK...how do I fix it?

sort
PowerGuy 10 years ago (edited 10 years ago) Avast! broke Zero-K. I can't launch it, and when trying to re-install it fails to install. I added it to exceptions and everything and it still isn't starting anymore. edit: never mind I just had to wipe the cache http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/aef681af-d560-4085-9101-eb4573e02028/activation-failed-the-system-cannot-find-the-file-specified-error?forum=winformssetup +0 / -0
Rallehop 10 years ago I have/had this problem too, but i simply turned off Avast for the time being... (PS, don't know how to wipe the cache lol) +0 / -0
PowerGuy 10 years ago it's in the link. C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0 in my case removing all the folders there fixed it. you'd want to get Avast off your back first; and I can't guarantee other click-once applications won't lose data by doing that. +0 / -0
Rallehop 10 years ago Doesn't really matter too much thou, i had just gotten a new Antivirus today so, i'm tottaly fine :) +0 / -0
PowerGuy 10 years ago I used to like Avast! but the interface changed, it got more advertisy, and has way more false positives than last year. I'm thinking of looking for a different one eventually because it's getting to be a pain- lol +0 / -0
Sortale 10 years ago PowerGuy you will have to manually put it in the exception list in Setting > Active protection > file system shield > Exclusion. for more info go to this topic http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/8986 +1 / -0
PowerGuy 10 years ago Sortale: it still deletes it and I still have to manually restore it each time. Avast! is one of those AV that doesn't care one bit for the exclusions list :( +0 / -0
Sortale 10 years ago PowerGuy DON'T just click put in exclusion when promp come up [it doesn't work] you have to do it manually, I am using Avast latest update over here, so unless you have some other program/circumstance it should work the same. if it doesn't help, I am just as baffled as you are +0 / -0
Senaven 10 years ago I solved this problem with exception list. Than Zero-K worked normal. +1 / -0
