Failed update

Last night I updated my CIS to version 3.8 using the automatic update. During the update process the cfpupdat.exe stopped working and I got the usual “cfpupdat.exe stopped working” Windows dialog. Ever since then CFP cannot run and I always geth the same “cfp.exe stopped working” dialog. The uninstall also don’t work because cfpconfg.exe stops working. The only exe I can run is the cfpupdat.exe but it says, I have the latest version installed. I tried to download the the full installer but when I run it, I get the same “cfpconfg.exe stopped working” message, I guess it is because it tries to run the installed cfpconfg.exe.

Is there a way to repair my damaged install or remove it completely to run a clean install again?

I’m running Windows Vista Home Premium, 64 bit, SP1
Windows Firewall is turned off, and I have no other firewalls or antivirus products installed.

I have experienced the same thing. When upgrading from CPF to CIS, I get the message:“Runtime error! This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application’s support team for more information.”

When I ran the uninstall to try to reinstall the program, I got the CIS web page that asked why I was uninstalling the program. None of the choices refered to a failed uninstall. So the support team has no idea what the real problems is.

Have tried the install/uninstall several times and always get the above error message.

I am running Microsoft Vista Home Premium SP1 32 bit on an HP Pavillion.

Help!!!

You will have to do a clean install to upgrade from 3 to 3.8
Also, it is recommended to disable any and all active AV scanners on your system.

It is meant for Comodo Firewall Pro but is still valid.

First off, thank you for the help, everyone!
After many frustrated hours I finally found out, it was WindowBlinds (ver. 6.4, build 123, 64 bit) that caused my troubles. It looks like WB is messing up something with Comodo’s self-skinned windows.
It worked flawlessly with CIS 3.5, so I completely forgot I was even using it.
After I excluded every .EXE file in the CIS folder from being skinned by WB, everything went back to normal. My case is solved.
