Error comes up when installing MS Security Essentials

Hi,

You shouldn't get any Microsoft Security Essentials installation error if everything is fine. You can't install Microsoft Security Essentials if:

First, you have another antivirus installed.

Second, you could not remove the previous antivirus properly.

Third, your Windows Installation is not genuine.

Forth, your copy of Windows Installation is lower than 3.1

and lastly the Windows Installation Service is not running.

However, Microsoft Security Essentials comes as a complete installation package unlike AVG that gives you only the installation initiator. While Microsoft Security Essentials easily installs, AVG takes time to download and install each component separately. Only if your copy of MSE installation package meets any of the above mentioned, you get the Microsoft Security Installation Error 0x80070643.
