Hi Vinod,

That sounds like the problem - you may need to add that registry key. Do you know how to do that?

If not, I can help you. Let me know.

Cheers :)

You could probably do that.
You might run into problems if the AppDataDir value is different for his setup, but a reinstall should work because the key will now exists and the value can written anew.

It is easier just to have him open a command prompt and create the reg key.
At command prompt, type:

REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ESET\ESET Security\CurrentVersion\Info ENTER
Note it is REG<space>ADD<space>HKEY

Then, you'll need to reinstall as before and it should work this time.

If that fails, you'll need to completely remove ESET from the system (All files and reg keys) and start from scratch.

Cheers :)
