Can't unsinstall version 2007.
Delete C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware
Installing again v2008 and always the same message 1316 !
Cleaning register don't change anything.
Thank's for your help

Can't re-install v2007 also but I found a solution :
Try to delete directory C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\lavasoft
v2008 is now installed on my PC. I did also manual cleaning in register. May be also a good reason !

Hello,
We're sorry you are having a problem.
If you get an error uninstalling Ad-Aware 2007, look for the following folder and delete it:
C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware
Then proceed to install Ad-Aware 2008 and let us know if that resolves the problem?
We do have word of a bug in Ad-Aware 2007 that is caused by an update to IE7 and that may be what you are encountering. We are working on a resolution, but meantime an update to the new version 2008 does resolve the problem for most. I am told deleting the Ad-Aware 2007 folder located in the Lavasoft Folder in Program files will get around the uninstall issue you had.

Hello,
I now have IE V. 7 on my computer, am running Vista Ultimate, it's 4 month old Lenovo Laptop.
I can't start-up Adaware 2007.
I can't uninstall Adaware 2007.
I can't delete the Lavasoft or Adaware Folder inside of Program Files (No Permission for it)
I can't install Adaware 2008.
Sounds like Adaware has some powerfull incompatibilities.
P.S. - Can someone help me to deal with this problem?
Thanks

Hi Texasadaware,
I am having the same exact problem and I was wondering if you ever found a fix for it?
