MSE won't install

What's funny is i N-E-V-E-R installed any other security software lol. Still i will use all those tools mentioned to see if i can get MSE to install. Seems MSE can only be installed on a fresh copy of windows..lame!

Guys i read here Installation Error 0x80070643and it said to remove microsoft antispyware which im guessing is windows defender. But i can't seem to find a removal tool for it. What do you think? Viable option?

might be a daft question but did you empty your temp folder??

i think im right in saying installs go there then removed when installation complete
if unsuccessful files can get left behind


it happened to me when i tried installing IE9 on second install
it said downloading but did nothing because files were in temp folder

just a thought

*sighs* i give up.. maybe if i'm reinstalling my OS i'll put back on MSE till then windows defender it is >_>. Thanks guys for all your help. Lol funny thing is my Microsoft help request hasn't been answered yet.

Thank you =)
