Fix: AVG install error 0xc0070643

1. Use a third-party uninstaller

While installing AVG antivirus you can sometimes install AVG PC Tuneup as well, since two applications are often bundled.

If you have AVG install error 0xc0070643, you need to remove AVG PC Tuneup tools from your PC.

To complete the uninstall process, you need to make sure all software leftovers and stubborn apps are removed from your PC. The easiest way to do this is with the help of uninstaller software.

2. Repair your registry

Users reported that error 0xc0070643 can appear due to problems with your registry. It seems that there are certain registry permission problems that prevent you from installing AVG.

To fix this problem, you need to download and install a third-party registry cleaner and DLL fixer on your PC. After problems with the registry are resolved, restart your PC and try to install AVG again.

4. Download and install the offline version of AVG

If you can’t install AVG antivirus due to error 0xc0070643, you might want to try using the offline installation.

AVG, just like many other programs, uses an online installation that downloads the necessary files as you install the application.

This makes downloading AVG a bit faster since the setup file is only a few MB in size, but this method has its flaws.

If there’s any problem with your Internet connection or with AVG’s servers, your installation might fail, and you’ll get error 0xc0070643.

To avoid this problem, it’s recommended that you try using an offline installer.

This installer is significantly larger in size, and it will take you a couple of minutes more to download the setup file, but you should be able to avoid this error completely by using this method.

You can download the offline installation from AVG’s website or from a reliable third-party source.

Keep in mind that offline installation might be hidden in AVG’s download section, so you’ll need to look carefully for it.

5. Remove AVG entries from the registry

According to users, they were unable to install AVG due to problems in their registry.

Apparently, there are some AVG instances in their registry that can prevent AVG from installing, and in order to fix that, you need to remove those instances manually.

Changing your registry can lead to system instability if you’re not careful, therefore we strongly suggest that you export your registry and use that file as a backup in case anything goes wrong.

To fix AVG install error 0xc0070643, do the following:

1. Press Windows Key + R and enter regedit. Press Enter or click OK.

2. Registry Editor will now start. In the left pane, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREAVG

3. Right-click AVG and choose Delete from the menu.

4. Close Registry Editor.

After closing Registry Editor, try to install AVG again and check if the problem is resolved.

6. Check your permissions

Sometimes error 0xc0070643 can occur if you don’t have the necessary permissions to access the installation folder.

In order to install AVG, SYSTEM needs to have certain privileges. To do that, follow these steps:

1. Locate the AVG installation directory, right-click it and choose Properties.
2. Go to the Security tab click Edit button.
   
3. Select SYSTEM from the list, and make sure that Full control option in Allow column is checked.
   
4. Click Apply and OK to save changes.

If this process seems a bit complicated to you, you can use the AVG Reset Access tool to change permission settings with just a few clicks.

7. Disable all other antivirus/firewall tools

Antivirus tools are necessary if you want to keep your PC protected from malicious users, but it’s usually a bad practice to have multiple antivirus tools or firewalls installed.

Different security tools can sometimes interfere with each other, and in some cases, security tools can even prevent you from installing AVG antivirus.

According to users, AVG install error 0xc0070643 is caused by other antivirus tools, so before you try to install AVG, be sure to disable or uninstall other third-party antivirus or firewall tools.

Users reported that the Comodo firewall was interfering with AVG installation, but keep in mind that almost any third-party tool can cause this problem to appear.

8. Make sure that you have the necessary files

According to users, they were unable to install AVG due to 0xc0070643 description: event exec_finished error message.

This error is caused by missing files related to Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4.

To fix the problem, make sure that you download the necessary files and install them.

Users reported that Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 was causing the problem on their system, but you might have to download a different version for your PC.

All the necessary files are available for download from Microsoft’s website.

9. Make sure that you have enough space on your C drive

Few users reported 0xc0070643 description: event exec_finished error message while installing AVG antivirus, and according to them, this message was caused by the lack of hard drive space.

Users reported that the installation error was resolved after freeing some space on their C drive.

Apparently, you need to have more than 4GB of free storage space on your C drive before you can install AVG on your PC.

We have to mention that AVG doesn’t take 4GB of storage space, but it requires this space to be available on your C drive in order to work properly.

10. Change Antivirus

In case you’ve tried out all of the solutions, yet nothing seemed to help, there’s always the option of changing AVG Antivirus with an entirely new antivirus tool.

That being said, know that the market is full of such tools, some of which offer a free version, or even a free trial with full capabilities for you to test out.
