Question:
When I try to install Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) on my new Windows 7 laptop, a HP EliteBook 8530w notebook computer, BUT it fails with the following error:
0x8007064A
Can you help me install MSE?
Answer:
The HP EliteBook 8530w is a great laptop, but a few of them seem to present the error code 0x8007064A when trying to install MSE.
If you have REMOVED any other pre-loaded Anti Virus programs that may have come with the laptop, and then re-booted and STILL get the error 0x8007064A
The following registry key should be deleted:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\HP_Preload_Dummy]
This should NOT be in the registry!
Hope this helps with the error 0x8007064A
Kind Regards

Worked! for the 0×8007064A error on my HP Elitebook 8530p
Cool! Thanks! I have been trying quite a few tricks without success… I also have problems installing/updating .NET Framework 1.1 on this machine. not sure if related as well.
I have HP 2530p with this problem and I removed the preloaded Antivirus and used Symantec AV for a while and decided to go with MSE.
