I am unable to install Windows Defender. I'm running XP Pro SP2. and Zone
Alarm Pro. All my high priority updates are current. I had previously
installed Microsoft AntiSpyware.

I get the following error during install -

'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is
unavailable. Click Ok to try again or enter an alternatet path to the folder
containing the installation package Microsoft AntiSpyware.msi' in the box
below. Use source C:\WINDOWS]Downloaded
Installations\(0F5BF-410-4D79-4DBE-AF54-C3271D47D4BD)

I can't find this file anywhere.

I then downloaded the program to my desk top and receive the following error -

'The file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Bill Davidson\Desktop\Windows Defender
Install.msi is not a valid installation package for this product Microsoft
AntiSpyware. Try to find the installation package for this product Microsoft
AntiSpyware'

After clicking OK the recieve the following -

'The older version of Window Defender cannot be removed. Contact your
technical support group'

Since this is my home office computer, I am the technical support group.

Can someone help me install this product properly?

Please post in one of the newsgroups specifically set up for the *beta*
