Norton will not install

[Thomas]

im trying to install norton systemworks pro 2004 on a
friends computer. it will not install, i keep getting an
error message halfway through, the messge is this "Norton
systemworks Pro 2004 has failed installation, do you want
to try again". i think there are still traces of a previous
norton on her computer. i think a computer must be complety
norton free in order to install. any ideas?

There are tens of thousands of people using Norton products with no issues
or problems. Don't take kurttrails' rants as anything meaningful. As with
any software, there are times when some users will encounter problems. This
does not make it bad software. The majority of users have no problems.

As a side note to you, kurttrail...

I challenge you to write a piece of software that will install on every
machine that anyone tries to install it on, with a 100% success rate. You
can't. No one can. The variables are too great.

Just because you may have had issues with a Norton product, or you just
don't like Norton products for whatever reason, does not give you the right
to tell everyone else that it is bad software. Stick to the facts...

Hey, dillrod, there's just as likely tens of thousands who have stopped using
the **** *because* it's just that...****. I know at least 50 of them.
Prove your statement "The majority of users have no problems" you ****ing
idiot.
To the OP...don't take anything nonoboy says to be worth anything more than
anything anyone else might say, after all he's still just another faceless
'something' sitting at another computer somewhere.

You mean just because tens of thousands have just as likely had "issues" with
Norton products, and yes...it gives the perfect right to say it (Norton
products) are ****. How about *you* learn to "stick to the facts" yourself, you
hypocritical asshole.

Gives me more right to say, "Norton Sucks!" than if I never had a problem
with their products.

Why? Did you present any *FACTS*? Sounded like opinion to me, or is it a
*FACT* that Symancrap doesn't suck?

Incorrect assumption. Many folks here work on hundreds of PCs and/or
support hundreds or even thousands of PCs.

As do I. I currently support dozens in a mixed environment. I have had
overwhelming success with all of the Norton products we deploy, and when we
do encounter problems it in invariably an issue with the workstation/server
instead of with Norton. No software will deploy gracefully 100% of the
time, but Norton does seem to deploy much more gracefully than most of the
other software. It is true that in some cases extra effort is required to
resolve issues on individual stations, but no more so than any other
packages. I just hate to see the typical negative "Norton Sucks" line being
parroted to someone who has not yet had a chance to form their own opinion.

LOL! It's only typical, because most people with even a modicum of
computer tech experience has come to the conclusion of "Norton Sucks"
all on their own.

The only issues I've had with Norton can be traced back to Luser activity.
I will admit that I've stayed away from any of their 2004 versions based
upon the numerous horror stories associated with them.

Hi Bobby.

We all have our opinions. Folks can read and decide for themselves. Your
opinion and experience is just as valid as any other and there's no
reason to back down from it.

I just took umbridge at what you said:

"Just because you may have had issues with a Norton product, or you just
don't like Norton products for whatever reason, does not give you the
right to tell everyone else that it is bad software. Stick to the
facts..."

Peoples experiences differ. Folks have _every_ right just as you and I
do to voice them.

And all you have to back up that Norton doesn't suck is that YOU haven't yet
experienced a problem. So I guess that means a lot to YOU, but is as
meaningless to the OP, as me saying that Norton Sucks.
