QUESTION:  When I try to run the Platform Library® CD-ROM I get the error message:  "An I/O error occurred while installing a file.  This is normally caused by bad installation media or a corrupt installation file."

 

This error will occur if you have Norton Anti-Virus 4.0 with auto protection enabled at start-up.  You will need to do one of two things:

1.Update to Norton Anti-Virus 5.0; OR
2.Temporarily disable Norton Anti-Virus 4.0, install the Assessor Series® software databases, then re-enable Norton Anti-Virus.

 

To Disable Norton Anti-Virus 4.0:

1.On your Windows task bar (near the time) you should see a set of small icons.  One of these icons is for Norton Anti-Virus.  With your mouse, move your cursor over these icons until the label Norton Anti-Virus Auto Protection Enabled is displayed.  Double-click this icon.
2.Select Options.
3.Select the Auto-Protect tab.
4.Un-check Load Auto Protect at Start-Up.  Click OK.
5.Re-boot your PC.  As your PC is rebooting, watch and make sure that Norton Anti-Virus 4.0 does not automatically load.  If it auto-loads, follow instructions 1-4 again.  If it does not auto-load, try to run the latest Platform Library CD-ROM.

 

To Enable Norton Anti-Virus 4.0:

Select Start | Programs and then the appropriate Norton Anti-Virus program. Reinitiate auto load at start up by checking the appropriate option.
