Hi Sebastian, I take it you can't even get it loaded/installed ? Do you
have a validated version of XP?

Right. I had to manually extract the MSI file and put the relevant
registry entries in place. Though it's no difference to a fully dumped
reference installation in a VM.

Yes, but I guess the reason is that it simply doesn't install as a
restricted user or, even further, doesn't run as such if not installed
with admin rights.

This is very bad for a so-called security software, but even worse is
that AntiSpyware Beta1 at least ran (even though the installer was
f***ed up as well).
