Receive the "Error 1920..." message during installation. The installation could not be completed. Found the topic which addressed this error that had three (3) suggestions.
Could not use suggestion 1 - no proxy (but fully connected to the internet at the time of (3) installation attempts. Also followed the instructions for the manual removal of program files (if) they were present. There were none in any of the listed locations in either Program Files or Program Files (x86). Checked in all the listed locations after each attempted installation
Suggestion #2, editing the registry (00023c00 to 00023e00) in the appropriate Key had no positive effect... same error message
Suggestion #3, a dot Net edit was listed but not recommended by the person that wrote the topic.
There are no other security programs other than Microsoft Defender which is not running.
Environment -------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows8 (new brand name box with OEM version of Windows 8)
Administrator - is the only user account
8GB RAM
Microsoft Office 2010
HP6110 printer
This is as far as I have gotten (other installations) in the past week when I decided to find a replacement for MS Defender
Any other suggestions?
Thank you in advance
