- CRC failed in vcredis1.cab
- Posted by AT and HMB on May 28th, 2008
On two different MCE 2005 system when updating to the new AVG 8.0 anti-virus
system I have problems.
The download from AVG is OK, because I have it updating OK on a third
similar MCE 2005 system.
After download, when running the exe I almost immediately get (between
quotes):
"AVG Free Edition
Extracting license_us.txt
Extracting avgsetup.exe
Extracting sporder.dll
Extracting vcredis1.cab
CRC failed in vcredis1.cab
Unexpected end of archive"
All of above is within a black background. In addition the last 2 lines are
highlighted in green.
Investigation of the AVG side leads me to the conclusion it is not an AVG
problem.
I'm at a loss as to why I have EXACTLY the same problem on 2 similar but
completely independent computers.

You're probably having difficulties because there are apparently a lot of
issues with AVG 8.0. Either use something else - Avast free is nice and
NOD32 is excellent (although not free) - or post in the Avast user forums.

The CRC issue lies within the AVG installation file or the HDs of the 2
MCE systems. You can test the AVG file with this method but it may take
quite sometime :

Is AVG 7/7.5 present and are you updating from within it to V. 8 ?
IF yes, uninstall the previous V prior to installing V 8:
http://free.grisoft.com/ww.faq.num-1238#faq_1238
That's the Installation FAQs page for AVG 8 Free Edition.
Read - ' AVG installation file is corrupted ' as it mentions the CRC error.

Many thanks.
It got to the stage that I couldn't even install version 7.5 again.
Used CCleaner to clear rubbish from computer and downloaded AVG 8.0 again
from the grisoft site and everything was OK.
I then transferred the downloaded file to my other computer without doing
any clean-up and it was OK.
I have had to conclude there was something wrong with the previous
downloaded files.
Thanks again.
