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?
My mcaffee is v8.5
Please answer all asked questions:
1. Was it clean windows 7 install or upgrade?
2. your OS is 32-bit or 64-bit?
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?)
7. Please fill in your system specs as IggyAZ asked. (here: https://www.sevenforums.com/profile.php?do=extra)
