Looks like the latest CIS premium installer comes with bugs that prevents windows 8.1 64bit non english language version from both installing and uninstalling.
I’ve read in some thread in this forum that recent CIS has a problem with non-English windows 8.1. About a week? ago, I updated CIS to 8.2.0.7403 and problems starts to happen. Whenever I tries to delete CIS virtual desktop, it gave me multiple BSODs with service exception sth.
Analyzing memory dump, I found out possible culprit was cmdguard.sys. I updated my windows 8.1 64bit non english ver. to the latest updates, and all the other HW drivers to the ones vendor is providing. It looked like using adobe flash player inside virtual desktop BSOD the OS, so I updated both dragon PPAPI adobe falsh player and internet explorre flash player to the latest 19 version. BSOD still persisted. I had about 9-10 BSOD when trying to delete virtual desktop after using any adobe flash player files. If I didn’t use adobe flash inside virtual desktop cmdguard.sys didn’t BSOD my OS when trying to delete virtual desktop.
So I decided to uninstall CIS 8.2.0.7403 and initiated uninstall process with iobit uninstaller 5 portable app downloaded from portableapps.com? Since CIS 8.3.0.7403 seems to have an issue with both INSTALLING AND UNINSTALLING IN WINDOWS 8.1 NON ENGLISH VERSION, CIS’s own installer didn’t even start.
After the failure of CIS’s own uninstaller file, Iobit uninstaller 5 portable started deletion of remnants of CIS files and registries. I went to safe mode and used CIS removal tool 2013 and CIS removal tool 2014 mod version? to erase remaining files and registries.
After that I reinstalled CIS prem 8.2.0.7403 somehow miraculously. I thought everything got back to normal, but I was dead wrong, newly installed CIS didn’t even sandbox files and registries even when I am using virtual desktop.
Then I reset my windows 8.1 to default setting.(reinstalled OS) I downloaded from cnet CIS 7.0 version 2014 and CIS 8.2.0.7403 because connection to comodo homepage was terribad disconnecting download attempts about 10 times.
When I tried to install CIS premium installer 8.2.0.7403, it gave me “exception error” and didn’t even start installing process. Back then I changed my OS’s unicode? langugae setting to english even though base language of my OS is language other than english, because I read somewhere in the forum that CIS outright malfuction in non English windows 8.1.
Whatever I do, CIS 8.2.0.7403 this time refused to even initiate installing process, so I went with CIS prem 7.0 version. It went flawlessly and now I just unticked CIS auto update setting and use custom firewall policies and clean computer defense+ setting only to avoid conflicts.
It seems like lots of other people who’s using non-English version windows 8.1 with CIS 8.2 are having issues installing, uninstalling, or even using the program as intended.
I’ve been using CIS for several years now since win vista 32bit days, and I have never encountered problems with this magnitude(about 10 BSODs) It really looks like CIS 8.2.0.7403 have SEVERE issues with Non English version windows 8.1 64bit and I really hope this gets resolved in the future updates so as not to BSOD non english version windows 8.1 repeatedly.
