Re: McAfee Cleanup

Hi Daria,

Greeting...

I sugessest you to try these steps to check if it helps.

Can you try deleteing the McAfee folders from below mentioned locations and try running MCPR again.

IN Xp:

C:\Program Files\McAfee

C:\Program Files\common files\McAfee

C:\Documents and setting\All users\application data\McAfee

In Vista & Win 7

C:\Program Files\McAfee

C:\Program Files\common files\McAfee

C:\program Data\ McAfee

Note:

the files may have been hidden so enable the hidden files and folders options from Tool> Folder Options> View

Also please navigate to

In XP:Start> All programs> Accessories>System tools> Scheduled Tasks and delete MCCleanUp if you have any.

In Vista  it sold be named as task scheduler and delete MCCleanUp if you have any

Run Mcpr once the restart the computer and run it again. let us know how it goes!!!!

I believe cleanup incomplete happens because of some very older traces or permission issues in the Computer.

Regards

Idris

Sounds like there are some issues in Windows Installer, to resolve this issue please follow these steps:

  1. Log on to your computer as an administrator.
  2. Click Start, and then click Run.
  3. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.
  4. At the command prompt, typemsiexec.exe /unregister, and then press ENTER.
  5. Type msiexec /regserver, and then press ENTER.
  6. Restart the computer and run MCPR again

Try the above and let us know the status
