I'm trying to install Alcohol 52% Free but am having trouble installing SPTD after upgrading from Win Vista Home 64 bit to Win 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit. I had used a trial version of alcohol on Win Vista and uninstalled about a year ago.
After reading the FAQ I noted that I should have removed SPTD using the stand alone installer before upgrading to Win 7 so I proceded try and repair it as instructed in the SPTD Forum by manually removing almost all folders, files and registry keys related Alcohol and SPTD. The SPTD Version I had remaining in my system was 1.62.0.0
The only registry keys and sub keys I couldn't change permissions / remove were:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\ LEGACY_SPTD
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Enum\Root\ LEGACY_SPTD
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\R oot\LEGACY_SPTD
I have an HP Laptop so I disabled ProtectSmart, Uninstall ESET Smart Security and run the SPTD stand alone installer as administrator.
After Reboot The installer doesn't detect any SPTD Version installed however a restore point is created, SPTD 1.78.0.0 is installed on the drivers folder, and have the following new SPTD related registry entries:
