DrTeeth 5 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I had a real fight on to get this installed. I have UAC turned off and I use an admin account as the main login. I had to overcome the main stumbling block of the install program not having enough permissions to close the service of v7 to complete the uninstall before the installation of v8. I managed to get over that. The only issue I have now is that real-time protection refuses to start autopmatically and I have to do it manually each time I login. I only have Win 8.1 on one of my 6 multibooting PCs to play with so this is not a major issue, it is just that it is annoying and the solution may help others. v7 worked and installed fine. Is there a known fix? TIA DrT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Arakasi 548 Posted October 26, 2014 Solution Share Posted October 26, 2014 Dr. I would try to uninstall using the safe mode tool, make sure no more folders or registry objects reside, and do a full clean install again. Hips might be the cause of your permission and service issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_S 3 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 It's down to Win 8.1 believing it knows what is better for you I think! Even from an admin account, I had to run the Eset installer from an elevated command prompt to get around permission errors 2502 and 2503 from the installer. I've had this with other software as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTeeth 5 Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Thanks chaps. Arakasi's method worked, but I did install with admin privs just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
