Error code: 103

[lost]

When I try to run the Microsoft antispyware beta I keep getting the above error code. Does anyone know what this means. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times with the same outcome.

Can you describe your machine and situation? Are you logged on as Administrator when you installed?
