Upgrade of Power Monitoring Expert (PME) 8.x to 8.2 fails with RegBrick_x86 error

Issue
When running the installation utility to upgrade Power Monitoring Expert 8.0 or 8.1 to 8.2, the installation will stop on the copying files section with a warning:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."

When the user manually selects the file via browse the next error is that the file is not a valid installation package for the product.

Product Line
Power Monitoring Expert 8.0

Power Monitoring Expert 8.1

Environment

Power Monitoring Expert 8.2 installation utility

Cause
This problem is a result of RegBrick_x86.msi being detected as a Trojan by some anti-virus software.
When PME is upgraded, the installer tries to uninstall the old msi packages prior to installing the new ones. Since RegBrick_x86.msi cannot be found where expected, you are prompted to find it manually.

Resolution
Cancel the PME installation.
