"C:\Docume~1\anil\LOCALS~1\Temp\vsutil.dll(VSSetProtection).The specified procedure could not be found"

For Z A Pro :-

"Could not initialize installation.Could not extract Wise0132.dll to

for zap ur installation files are corrupted, download it again..pref with another download manager

And for other one try running the installation after a fresh reboot without running cache cleaner softwares or antivirus...

after uninstalling/deleting the above full/partial installations;
i suggest run ccleaner first. download it fown www.ccleaner.com

then try a fresh installation of zonealarminternetsecuritysuite. it has firewall, antivirus, anti-spy, etc. so u dont need to again install zonealarm pro.

i too have just installed the ZA ISS v6. its nice but a little heavy on the resources.

You are absolutely right. CRC error always indicates a corrupted file.

Hey,
i too got the error but after installing the error was "validation failed for C:\programfiles\zonelalarm\zlclient" what the hell's that. reinstalling the software helps. but i want to know the reason for the error.

When does it happen? I think you were upgrading ZA/ZAP from v5 to v6. While upgrade you may face such problems. This happens due to installation script error. The installation script may face some difficulties to update the installation without changing your personal setting, i.e., without changing some registry values, some lines customized by you in some configuration files. Zone Lab also accepts this matter. They recommend clean install rather than upgrade for the most trouble free installation.

I got the error when desktop appears, and I did a clean install of ZA, but after reinstalling problem disappeared, but it keeps on coming once in a week or two. don no why. i think there are some bugs in the new ZA.

May be a bug. ZAP has made huge modification on their latest version. So, it may contain bugs. Some troubles are also being faced by me.

They don't have solution to this "validation failed" problem.

For clean install you need not to uninstall the installed ZAP. Just choose the option clean install, ZAP setup will remove the previous version from your system and will install the new version. You have to reapply all the settings customized by you. Because it will take default setting at that moment, all previous settings will be lost. But, it remembers the serial number; you need not to invoke it again.
