DMSetup.exe downloads correctly, but trying to install one on a Dell Vista laptop.  Dialog box comes up.  Says it is gathering system inforamtion for about 10 seconds, then that message goes away and the PC makes a clicking sound for several hours.

Same problem here.

Running via a DSL connection, IE 8.0.60001.18865.

DMsetup starting and then blank window and keeps on clicking.

In my case Firefox 3.5.6 and neither wired, nor wireless works.  I've installed this same McAfee on two other computers in the house on the same network, albeit Windows XP.  This third computer is Vista.  AFAIK that's the main differrence.

And I just tried making IE the default browser, and it behaves exactly the same.  I don't think this is browser related.  The McAfee installer is the thing that seems broken.  It just goes click click click click forever, 2 or 3 times a second, and the hourglass/busy cursor shows it's busy doing something, but it never finishes.  There's no error message.

Hi DThompson55,

The system could have a whole lot of temporary files and mcafee cookies,

Please follow the below steps,

1. Run the mcafee preinstall tool from http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/McPreInstall.exe

2. Connect the computer to a wired connection, restart the computer and start taping the F8 key , when the windows advanced boot screen appears select the option safe mode with networking and try installing again.

Regards,

Dinesh K

I reregisted the DLLs as you suggested, and reran DMSetup.  It still does the same thing, runs for about 10 seconds and then just click, click, click, click forever.
