Cannot install Norton Antivirus 2007 and Internet Security 2007

[Guest]

I was trying to install norton antivirus and internet security, after files
have been extracted, it cannot be installed and error message "Setup cannot
be installed because there was a problem authenticating your Microsoft
Windows installer". I click the link provided in the popup and redirected to
a page saying "This failure is caused by a problem with Cryptographic
Services, which is a Microsoft function. It is not caused by the Norton
product."

But, I cannot fix the problem even I run the fix given.

Reference site:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/sharedtech.nsf/docid/2006091213530013?Open&src=_mi.

Please help.

Which is why you arent posting asking why your computer is now running
so slow.

In other words, Norton is junk, stay away from it.

The antivirus is OK but the rest of it is crap.

The A/V is just as much crap as any of their other products, way too much of
a load on resources.

The antivirus is OK but the rest of it is crap.

I just got this from Symantec customer service. It worked for me after
going through hell with this problem.


Step 1: Open RUN type CMD

Step 2: In the Command Prompt Type CD\ and then Press ENTER

Step 3: Then type MSIEXEC.EXE /UNREGISTER Press ENTER

Step 4: Then type REN C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\MSIEXEC.EXE MSIEXEC.OLD

Step5 : Try to Reinstall the Norton Product again (Dont have Restart the
Computer)

Step6 : You will get a message that ' Microsoft Windows Installer is not
Installed Would you like to Install it '

Step7 : Clicik YES or OK

Step8 : The Setup will continue to Install the Windows Installer and Also
Continue with the Norton Installation.


Hopefully someone will get some good use out of this info! Cheers!
