Min Du AVG error 0xe001003D during installation
Hello,
I am experiencing a very frustrating problem with AVG error 0xe001003D. Here is the background:
I've assembled a new PC over the weekend and has installed Windows 10 (as an upgrade to Win7) on it. The storage device is a brand new SSD from Samsung. After Windows 10 is ready I began installing software on it, and at that time, I'd already successfully installed AVG via the online installer. After this, I tried to install Comodo Firewall, which ran into installation issue and was stuck at 99%. After trying without avail to resolve the Comodo Firewall issue, I used CCleaner to clean registry. This rendered the internet useless, presumably due to incorrect registry removal relating to LAN drivers. At this, I performed a System Restore.
After System Restore, I manually deleted the AVG folder from "Program Files (x86)", thinking to prepare for a new install. I first began with Comodo Firewall, which installed successfully this time. However, upon trying AVG it failed, with error code 0xe001003D, saying I received an invalid control file. I remember that, when I attempted the very first time, AVG was downloading updates and succeeded. However, when trying for the second time, it briefly appears as if all are up-to-date, then begins downloading updates and reaches 10%, then stops and gives me the error.
Using the various methods that I found with Google did not work.I tried to Reset my PC but that ended in an "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE" loop. I tried using the AVG removal tool, followed by manual deletion of all avg files/folders that I could find, as well as manually finding all avg-related registry entries and deleting all of them, save for a few I'm not sure if AVG-related (such as binary ones, etc.). Following this I receive another error when trying to install, the code of which I forget but was fixed with the BFEfix tool. However, after BFEfix tool, the same 0xe001003D error appears.
Please advise how this can be resolved.
Thank you.
