Cannot Open AVI Spybot Error

[AluminumHaste]

Whenever I try to download the updates from Spybot, I get this window pop that says: "Cannot Open AVI"
That's all it says.

I've attached a screenshot for your viewing pleasure.:D

There was another report about "Cannot Open AVI". I don't know if it will help because it does not appear as if MUff!N was able to resolve their problem:

If you are unable to get the updates using the integrated update facility, you can manually download and execute an update file from safer-networking.org:
Downloads – Home of Spybot-S&D!

Detection updates 2005-12-09 - product description
md5: 37716E587907ADD1C25F39FC6591147E

This updates the detection rules. Only needed if you do not want to use the update function integrated into Spybot-S&D.

Yeah, the problem was never resolved unfortunately.
Thank you for your help though.:D

Are you using the Beta Microsoft 'Vista' OS and something called VTP?

[AluminumHaste]

You mean this thing??

lol, I also have .Net v2.0 running and it doesn't let imageshack loader work either.

Take a look at this thread on the TechConnect Magazine "Vista Transformation Pack" forum. It doesn't mean much to me, but looks like your problem.

Maybe the discussion will allow you to fix it, it seems the final poster 'thengt' found some setting to change?

how can i uninstall the vtp?

[Zenobia]

Is Vista transformation Pack listed in add/remove programs anywhere?

unfortunately i cant find it in the add/remove programs. i had a service pack 3 windows vista installer and maybe its in the package though.

[Zenobia]

I'd never heard of Service Pack 3 windows vista installer.Could you tell me more about that package?
I'd never heard of VTP being bundled with anything else,though I do not know that for sure.Here is a little bit about vtp.

my bad my OS is just windows xp pro sp2 but with xp vista themes. thanks for the link i'll try it from there to fix the problem.

Do you know if the Vista themes you have installed are Vista Transformation pack?I think I remember the older version I had installed before not being listed in add/remove programs,and having to uninstall another way.

just installed the vtp. now my spybot is updating just fine. many tnx :D

[Zenobia]

I'm glad you got Spybot to update okay. :)

[wired_bob]

so if i install vtp it will work again i though that might of been one of the problems. thx
i let u know if it work after i install the vtp.

[Zenobia]

No,installing vtp isn't likely to fix the problem.Vista Transformation Pack isn't a fix for the cannot open .avi error.

[Zenobia]

p.s.(sorry,forgot to add this.) :oops: vista transformation pack is something people install to make their operating system look like Vista,and sometimes when it's installed and Spybot's installed,they get the 'cannot open .avi error.'For more info,please see:
