    I used to have McAfee Virus Scan Plus on my Windows 7 32-bit.
    And it runned without problems.
    So, as Tews already asked which McAfee product and version are you trying to install?

    EDIT: And what did error massage say?

    Im using windows 7 HP 64 bit. I have Mcafee AntiVirus, there is not problem. It runs great.
    If 64 bit is compatible, I am pretty sure that 32 bit is as well.

    Remove your firewall, if any and try to install again.
    I can assume that you did not try to install another A/V first and you do not have another A/V?

    Was running McAfee from my initial Win7 install. It works perfectly withh Win7.
    Hope the firewall is the issue or maybe you may need to "Install as Administrator"

    It would be helpful if you could fill-in some hardware stats so we can see what hardware you have. Also have you upgraded to the newest McAfee? I'm not sure if you have the latest version.

    3. Did you have AV before it?
    If yes, Have you uninstalled it first?
    *If yes, Have you uninstalled it with the manufacturer product removal tool?
    4. What other security application are you using?
    5. Were you installing with Adminstrator account?
    6. What did error say? (not compatible? permission denied? what exactly did it say?)
