when i downloard the beta 2 everything go fines but then when it installs on
the computer it doesnt do anything. i tried this on 2 computers and i get
the same results. i also have have the original beta1 and i deleted that to
if that would work but it didnt.

Do you have the Windows Installer 3.1 installed on your system--check in add
or remove programs, near the end of the list.

What actually happens when you attempt to install--you run the downloaded
..MSI file--then what?

Yes i have Windows Installer 3.1 installed on my computer. When I attempt to
install Defender on my computer, i i do the steup up for what i want it to
install on to my computer, and then it asks if i want to install it and i say
yes to it. Then when the installation bar comes up, it says performing the
requested options, and if you look at the installation bar it does'nt go
anywhere, and i waited for about 20 minutes and still did'nt go anywhere. I
don't think its's my antivirus program either because i have Norton and it
would ask me to accept the installation if there was a security issue.

I have seen one, and only one, post very much like yours. That poster said
that she disabled Norton Antivirus, and was able to proceed with the
installation normally.

I'd certainly recommend trying disabling Norton for long enough to complete
the install.

Yup, that was it. Thanks so much. I wouldnt have expected it to be norton
because Norton did'nt put up a notice or anything. Thaks again.

Terrific--glad that works, and I'm glad that other poster was able to figure
out what the problem was, and post the solution here.
