Error Loading Microsoft Anti-Spyware (error 103)

[Sully]

I have used the this program on a lot of other computers
to clean up spyware issues, but this one computer I am
trying to put it on is having problems. I get through the
install just fine, but after the install is done and it
tries to open I get critical error 103, and I haven't seen
any posts about this error. Any help?? Thanks!!

Did a Error report dialogue pop up asking you to send it?

I'm experiencing the same issue, it doesn't cause it to
send and auto error report. I just get a box
saying 'Error 103 restart and if you're still haveing
problems contact (e-mail address removed)'
they pointed me here becuase i'm trying to install the MS
Beta program and not their paid program. I installed the
same DL on several W2K pc's and only 1 gave me this error.

any help would be appreciated, it shows the bullseye in
the task tray but you cannot open or scan without getting
the error.

TIA

APPARENTLY IT'S A PERMISSIONS ISSURE - SOLVED IT FOR ME.

Apparently it is a permisions issue, ensure that you are logged on with
Administrative Priviledges.

Error 103

I discovered the Windows 2000 permissions on the C:\Program Files\Microsoft AntiSpyware folder had neither Allow or Deny checked when I was getting the 103 error.

Checking the Full Control - Allow box enabled the program to function properly.

I found the same permissions issue with the ewido installation.

No other folders seem to exibit the anomaly.
