McAfee install problems
Computer crashed and am in the process of re-installing software. McAfee Security Suite will run through its intire process then gets to the individual downloads of AntiVirus, AntiSpam etc. then fails to install. I have restarted and re-installed 3 times from my CD and once from online and having same problem. I did get a error message at some point ( I can't remember when) error:12152

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Did you completely delete all reference to McAfee before you tried to reinstall it?

McAfee Security Suite is one of the most bloated and troublesome applications I have ever come across. It introduces 8 new processes into your system, often slowing it down to a crawl. I would forget McAfee (or Norton, come to that), and choose some other application. There are many good programs around.
