I will post this about Norton Systemworks 2004. I will try to keep it
short. I am an internet fan who only tries to fix something when it
won't work.
I purchased a CD version of Norton Systemworks 2004 and could not get
it to install. I would get near the end, and an error 1335 would
appear on the screen. It said I had a corrupt 'cabs.m18'. After
wasting time trying to reinstall it, and uninstalling my 2003 version,
and trying again, I reinstalled my 2003 so I could get on the internet
and went to tech support at Symantec. At tech support they showed
that this was a problem with the Password Manager part of the program
not connecting up with something else.
There they had a solution of installing after first putting the
contents of the CD onto the hard drive, then installing from the hard
drive. They told where to find instructions. But by then I had
figured out what would work for me, right away anyway. I started
reinstalling 2004, and when it asked for a complete install or a
Custom install I clicked on a Custom install. When I got to the
Custom install I just unclicked the Password Manager, and everything
installed fine.
When I looked at the Password Manager box on the screen though I
noticed that it showed 0 bytes for Paasword Manager. All of the other
clickable options had the amout of bytes listed. I don't really care
about Password Manager, but it looked to me, a do it only when
necessary computer fixer, that maybe they did not put any bytes on the
disk for Password Manager.
I will see if I can add Password Manager on one of these days, but
maybe I won't either. I don't know if I want a Password Manager.
Anyway I thought I would post about my error 1335 problem, which I
fixed for myself anyway.
