AVAST32 installation is not just copying of all files to your hard drive. The installation makes all necessary changes to your system and sets up automatic launching of resident protection after system reboot.
Work with the installation CD-ROM very carefully and immediately after installation store it in a safe place. If the installation medium is damaged, the program cannot be installed.
Before starting the installation be sure that you are really working under the operating systems Microsoft Windows 95/98 or Microsoft Windows NT. In case you are not working under either of these systems (e.g. you are using Microsoft Windows 3.x featuring Win32s), you would not be able to use neither AVAST32, nor the installation program for its installation. The most probable result of an attempt to start-up will be a "system failure" of your computer. In this case try to install the AVAST! program.
Furthermore, be sure that there is no preceding version of the AVAST32 program installed in your computer. If there is any, try to uninstall it. The description of uninstallation of a version of AVAST32 is available in its User's Manual or in the Help. Not doing that, the installation program itself will try to uninstall the older version itself. However, we do not recommend this procedure.
To be able to install AVAST32 in the environment of the operating system Windows NT, you must have administrator's rights. If you do not have them, the installation program will advise you of this fact and refuse to install the program! In this case contact the administrator of your network.
