Have you tried to reinstall over the damaged version?
It may replace the missing file and then be OK or let you
uninstall it. You may want to double. Heck the registry
afterwards some programs don't clean up properly and
multiple entries may lead to strange errors latter.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Is it possible to get a uncorrupted copy of the corrupted file (possibly by
extracting it from the installer)? If so can you just replace the corrupted file
using a linux cd or usb?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Hmmm...
This windows lappy is having a few problems. HP ToolboxFX here, which I don't
give a monkeys about. I did just try and delete it, but no luck. But it is
triggering another error message. Something about the .net C++ library.
What's the betting MS has upgraded it, and broken the ABI ... par for the course
I guess :-) I thought they'd fixed dll hell (unless they do it, of course :-)
Cheers,

Rollback to an earlier system restore point,
prior to the windows update. (hopefully you
have not lost that earlier restore point by creating too many new restore
points)
Then uninstall Avast, install Avira.
Then pull the windows updates again.

Boot linux liveCD. (I'd reccommend latest fedora)
Mount hdd where Avast is installed.
Delete Avast folder.
Reboot into windows.
Avast will now fail to start at boot (as the executable isn't there anymore),
and you can clean up the rest of the environment.
I'm amazed that no-one has suggested this yet.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Thanks for all the suggestions. This worked: Safe mode, delete registry keys,
delete files, reinstall.
