.bin file missing

When I downloaded AVG Zen and attempted to update the virus protection for my PC I keep getting a update failure and a message that says "a .bin file is missing"

how do I solve this? Shouldn't the program install all required files to enable updates?

Avinash, Due to an AVG Knowledge Base cleanup the CTFbin article has been discontinued. This also involves other articles as well.
