Installer initialization failed due to following error:

Hey jhchap,

tey this.

Click Start button
Go to Run and type "regedit" (type without quotes)

a) use Ctrl + F and type AVG8

or

a) directly go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE key in the registry and you will find AVG folder, remove that . It will work.

be careful and do it if you are fully confident of what you are doing. I did this and it solved my problem
