We request you to completely uninstall the AVG program using the AVG remover tool and install the program again.
To download the AVG remover tool please use this link: http://aa-download.avg.com/filedir/util/AVG_Remover.exe
2) Run the downloaded tool and follow the instructions displayed on your screen.

Good afternoon

​I have followed your instructions exactly.  When (re)installing the AVG Utimate program I got the same message " avguix.exe - System Error.  The program can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem"  The Eror code is 0xC0070643.

​On my computer I have looked in the folder Program Files / Microsoft Office 15 / root /Office 15 and it looks like there are several files MSVCR110.dll....!!!  Unless I can resolve this one soon, I will need to ask for a refund and look for a different antivirus software padkage...

​Regards, Bob

Hello Aravind

I see that I am not the only person with this problem ... for example I see on the the Windows help site that we have a computer savvuy person saying that...


"I noticed other people have had this problem, but so far nothing has helped. I'm trying to download AVG on a friend's computer.

Exact error message: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

Severity: Error

Error Code: 0xC0070643

Error message: General internal error.

Additional message: MSI Engine: Failed to initiate the package.

@AVGMSI_Error 1723

There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

Context: Initialization, MSI action failed

I tried:

msiexec /unregister then msiexec /regserver
sfc /scannow
services.msc and installer was manual, and the Start button was greyed out.
Microsoft Fix It - could not find any errors. Also, AVG was not listed so I chose Not Listed
I tried merging a new Registry key (msiserver.reg), nope
Looking in its folder in Registry Editor, it has two instances of msiexec.exe: one in syswow64\msiexec.exe and system32\msiexec.exe. SYSTEM does have full control.

Nothing is working. Someone please help."

And it looks like no-one has helped this lady...!

​Infuriating.....!!!!

​Regards, Bob
