Hello,
When trying to install Windows Defender, the file downloads normally BUT when I proceed with the installation, I get Error 1327 Invalid Drive: E:\ and the installation cannot continue. E is actually my external drive that is not connected.
How can I install Windows Defender and avoid the error message?
Do I really need to connect my external drive?
Thank you for your responses.
Configuration: Windows XP Home Edition, Pentium 4, 1.8 GH

    lol! The answer was found a long time ago!

    Here, do this! :

    Invalid drive issue.

    This often occurs when a drive has been deleted or its letter has been changed.
    The solution is to remove all references to this drive in the registry.
    Procedure:

    - Open Regedit.exe
    - Edit menu: Find. In the field, enter X:\, X being the letter of the intruder drive.
    - Delete the key that contains a path with X:\blablablabla\blablabla
    - Press F3 to display the next entry and delete it
    - Do this until the search yields no more results.
    - Close the registry, and you're done.

    If all goes well, you will now be able to install and uninstall programs without any issues.
