What av settings to use prior to Brinks "repair isntall" tutorial

Going to try another "repair install" to get Windows Media Center operational again. Just finished a repair install but Media Center/Media Player will not "enable" in Programs/Features - Add-Remove-Enable. I run Bitdefender Internet Security 2014. Should I disable this as much as possible (AV/Firewall etc) prior to running Windows & with SP1 "setup.exe" DVD or does it matter if Bitdefender (or any av/firewall) is running normally during a "repair install" ?

Thanks...TiminAz

Brink's tutorial doesn't say anything about AV software but if it were me I'd uninstall it, do the repair then reinstall.
