Hi:

I could install VirusScan version 5.1 on my computer Pentium I 90Mhz, then on Pentium II 233 Mhz and 300 Mhz with W98 and NT4.
But now I can't install it on Pentium III 800Mhz with the error 1901: Error attempting to read from the source installation database
C:\windows\temp\*.msi.
Please help.

thanks in advance.

When you say VirusScan 5.1, I'll assume you're talking about McAfee. Is your cd in good shape?

I use AVG because it is far superior to McAfee and it is free

You can get that error if not all of the installation files are there.

Go to the below listed link and download and install the Microsoft Windows 2.0 Installer, reboot your computer, then try to install McAfee VirusScan 5x again.

I have installed Windows 2.0 Installer, reboot, etc. like response No. 3 but the same error 1901.
I had retry install McAfee VirusScan 5x again on my old Pentium I 90 MHz: it's OK.
