Vista - Uprgrade Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition to Vista Platform

When I upgraded Windows XP to Vista on my laptop there existed a version of
Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition that is not supported by Vista. I now
have the version that is supported by Vista but I can not uninstall the old
version so that I can install it. When I try I get the message "This version
of Symantec Antivirus does not support Windows Vista Platform." Any
suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks.

Do it the old way.... Remove the Program Files using DELETE and the Registry
Entries using
Regedit. More info and "maybe" a removal utility on Symantec's Website.
Check for the
version you have an "uninstall" or "remove".

Thanks. That pointed me in the right direction. It is a pain to remove all
of the registry values manually but it worked and the new 10.2 Symanteec is
working fine.

Thanks agan.

Same issue, however, I cannot get some of the files to delete from Program
files or from Program data, as they are protected. I tried the uninstall
utility in Windows and get through the password for uninstall, and when it
gets to about 95% complete, it backs down and never uninstalls the program.

I've tried cleaning entries from the registry, however, I must be missing
some... the TDI drivers are still attempting to load, and I keep getting
messages at startup about the incompatibility.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Adam
