I can't install Microsoft Security Essentials
Downloaded mseinstall.exe, MSEInstall Package version 4.1.522.0 to PC running Windows 7; ran installation wizard and it could not complete the Security Essentials installation. Error code 0x80070643
Clicked link to "Get help on this issue." It said either some other security programs are running or you're missing some prerequisites. Perform the following steps:
Step 1 - remove other anti virus programs
Step 2 - Completely uninstall Windows Live OneCare
I ran appwiz.cpl, removed Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware and manually deleted folders and files left behind. Also downloaded OneCareCleanup.exe, Self-Extracting Cabinet, version 6.1.22.0; ran As Administrator, it said, "Windows Live Cleanup tool is shutting down;" went to How Do I Uninstall Anti-Virus software; clicked on a link to Microsoft Virus and Malware Forum; found hundreds of posts about problems installing MSE and directions on where to find cleanup tools. I ran several clean-up tools, no change, I still can not install Microsoft Security Essentials.
I would like to create a log file and determine the exact cause for the failure of mseinstall.exe, MSEInstall Package version 4.1.522.0 to install correctly on my real-time, anti-virus free PC . Can someone help me?
