Norton have a thing called a WMI Update that I'm trying unsuccessfully to
install. I believe it exists so that XP SP2 can communicate with NAV. Is this
correct? I have read their website's "help" on the issue, and it is no help.
Has any one else experienced this and successfully solved it? Is NAV still
actually working?

The specific issue is that WMI downloads but the installation always fails.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled NAV (and then taken HOURS over a slow
modem connection to update everything). This did not work, and I don't relish
doing it again. What am I doing wrong?
If another uninstall/reinstall/5 hour download is the only solution, I'll
join the legion of dissatisfied Norton customers who are leaving them, and go
with something else. Any recommendantions?

Regards
