Thanks but, With antivirus (Avira) disabled, the same happens.


Antivirus has nothing to do with it.


It can. Norton, for example, interferes with Active-X registration
processes (and doesn't tell you about it).

Norton interferes with SOME ActiveX registration because it locks
certain key registry entries for suspect items. Fujitsu COBOL is not
affected.
I have successfully installed Fujitsu without disabling Norton. (On
more than one occasion.)

Most software that has
experienced this problem specifically insist that anti-virus
protection be disabled prior to attempting installation.

Most software vendors (self included) have a blanket warning because
it is better to be safe than sorry. I would rather clients disable
their AV because it is less likely to lock .dlls, but it shouldn't be
essential.
The symptoms listed by the OP are similar to those encountered by an
arrogant anti-virus program.

Maybe. I don't think Norton is arrogant, and the product has improved
considerably during the last year.

When an anti-virus program refuses to honor a benign installation command - such as registering a DLL or an Active-X component - and does not ask for permission or even inform the user of its action, there are many words in addition to "arrogant" that can properly be used to define the anti-virus program.

If you visit virtually any of the "microsoft.xxx" newsgroups and ask the professionals their opinion of Norton, the universal reaction will be some degree of hurlage. A common complaint is that Norton is the barnacle of the software world. After "Add/Remove," one has to use Symantec's sooper-sekret removal tool. Then a manual scrubbing of the registry is necessary to polish off the deadest of the dead-wood.

Even then...

No, Norton is evil. Pure and simple evil.
