I’ve been trying to get a laptop reimaged and reconfigured but one of the software installations I’ve been having challenges getting reinstalled is Microsoft Security Essentials.
I’m not interested in hearing everyone’s opinions and suggestions for what software I should be using instead of Microsoft Security Essentials. I’ve been happy with it and the computers I support that have it installed have been safe and secure with no problems.
What I’m curious about is if anyone else has seen this error and if so, what you did to get around it?

I have, be sure all previous security softwares have been completely removed. Also, check to be sure Security Essentials is in your list of installed programs. If so, remove it. Then attempt to install it again.
Mark Dahl says
You should be sure Microsoft Security Essentials isn't showing up as an already installed program. Removing any other previously installed security software could help as well.
If that does not work, be sure the folders for the programs were removed when you removed the software.
Those are the first things I try.
