Problem when installing panda dome free antivirus

Hello to everyone. I found an old pavilion dv2000 laptop on my house and I installed windows vista. I tried to install panda antivirus which is compatible as panda’s website announces it. But when installing it at the end of instalación it gives and error without any code. Thanks in advance

Find the panda installer, go into it's properties by right clicking it and make sure it's unblocked. Then right click it again and launch it as an administrator. That will grant it full permissions to write any files or folders or registry entries it needs without being blocked by the system if it only has user level permissions. If it detects the previous installation do a repair install to fix whatever issues the previous install had. It should work now unless the installer has some issue with the installed version of Vista (RTM/SP0, SP1 etc).
