Update: problem solved. Needed to turn off another spyware & cookie monitoring program (Internet Cleanup's Netblockade). Max 8 (non Enterprise version) working fine again. Will leave my original post here if it helps others. The Pervasive Engine installer seems to use scripts that anti-spyware programs intercept

Hi,
Using Maximizer 8 (not Enterprise) and am installing SP1. The update come in 2 parts, an update to Max 8 plus a large 70MB download to update the Pervasive engine. The Max 8 update went well. The update to the Pervasive engine failed with the following error messages:

c:\PSVW\Bin\dbcsipxy.dll failed to register

The following dlls also failed to register:
poledbsy.dll
w3csi100.dll
w3dcm100.dll
w3csm100.dl
mkc.dll
pvdrmsrb.dll
timgrrb.dll
w3clp100.dll
w3exp010.dll
up1apirb.dll
pvmsgrb.dll
<and another 8 more .dll's after this>

Then the error: "Procedure entry point _PSComCreateObjectyByProgID@16 could not be located in the dynamic link library pscore.dll"

My system:
Windows 2000 Pro with SP4
512 MB RAM
Lots of hard disk space
On installation, I disabled Norton Antivirus and Spysweeper.
