    Default Error trying to install version 1.6.2

    I am trying to install the latest version on a new laptop. Whenever I go through the installation process I receive the following error: "An error occured while trying to copy a file: The source file is corrupted" for the files c:\Program File\Spybot-Search & Destroy\SDFiles.exe
    \SpybotSD.exe
    \Plugins\Chai.dll
    \Includes\TTLASSH.sbs
    \Help\English.chm

    If I choose Ignore to complete the installation I can not run Spybot S&D.

    I have downloaded this from multiple sites and tried numerous reinstalls and am still getting these same errors.

    Any ideas???

    If Spybot is listed in Add/Remove programs,you might want to try uninstalling it.
    And then deleting the Spybot - Search & Destroy folder.It's probably located at C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy.

    Then try downloading/installing it again:

    Default I think I'm having the same problem.

    Try to install the software, message :

    C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Includes\TTLASSH.sbs

    An error occurred while trying to copy a file:
    The source file is corrupted.

    Click Retry to try again, Ignore to skip this file (not recommended), or Abort to cancel installation.


    ...

    Could this be because I have AVG installed? - I tried a temporary deactivation of AVG..

    I'm not very tech-savvy , for that I apologize.. but I'm trying to learn.


    Have not used your software yet.. hope to have some great things to say in the near future! Thanx for your time

    Please look to see if Spybot is listed in Add/Remove Programs,and if it is,uninstall it.
    If it's not listed in add/remove programs yet,go to C:\Program Files,and rightclick and delete the Spybot - Search & Destroy folder.

    Try downloading and installing Spybot again:

    Please let me know how it goes.
