installation fail for 1.6.2: code 5 on replacing dll's

[helplessyank]

Especially irritating on dialup:

during the last stage of the installation, as old files are being replaced, several fail boxes came up on dll files, that the old ones could not be replaced

SDHelper.dll I was able to get by with ignore. But the next one (begins with a T: can't read my own handwriting) needed retry.

Those that followed in the plugins subdirectory specifically mentioned access being denied (code 5), and need "ignore" to get by: TCPIPAddress, chai, fennel, mate. It was the same with update/download.ini.

I could not get by "can't create Update directory with ignore. The entire installation failed.

Firefox 3.0.10, Vista 6.0.6000

Que pasa?

Hello,

Maybe you have installed over an old version?

Please uninstall Spybot - Search & Destroy according to the following link:

Then make a fresh install of Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.6.2.

Actually , it started as a regular update, and then turned into a new install about halfway through. I thought it was just supposed to that.

I'm giving it a shot, however.

Thank you very much.
