I have a couple of Windows XP Pro SP2 systems that use AVG anti-virus and I cannot install VC2.5 on them (VC2.0 installs fine).
I have downloaded both the ZIP version and ISO of VC2.5. When unzipping the zip file VMware-VIMSetup-2.5.0-U3-English.zip AVG pops up with "Threat Detected" and wants to move autorun.exe to its virus vault. XP then throws up an error message: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not appropriate permissions to access them".
I downloaded VMware-VIMSetup-2.5.0-U3-English.zip directly from the VMware site. I have tried it from the ISO, written to CD and also from the .ZIP directly on my system.
If I disable AVG anti-virus XP still gives me the ""Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file." message and I cannot install VC2.5.
Does VC2.5 setup (autorun.exe) trigger my AVG anti-virus because of how it accesses system resources? Did the anti-virus change a security setting on my XP system that prevents VC2.5 from installing?
How can I get VC2.5 to install on these systems?
