Hello and welcome to JustAnswer. I look forward to assisting you today with your question and providing the best answer possible.

Problem

Some McAfee customers may experience slow downloads when installing McAfee Security products. In some cases, the download fails and an error similar to the one below is displayed:

Cause

The 12152 error usually refers to a generic network problem which has caused your download to disconnect or fail. Wait a few minutes and try your download again. If you are still unable to download and install, it is possible the McAfee download is being blocked by a previously installed, incompatible third-party product.

 

Solution

Download and run MCPR.exe and the Preinstall tool:

  1. Download the removal tool from the link below:

  2. Save the file to your desktop.
  3. Close any open programs.
  4. Double-click MCPR.exe.

    NOTE: Windows Vista / 7 users must right-click MCPR.exe and select Run as Administrator.
  5. Restart your computer.
  6. Download the preinstall tool from the link below:
    http://tinyurl.com/bxwks7
    Double-click McPreInstall.exe.
  7. Click the Start button inside the Preinstall Tool.
  8. Read the warning message and click OK to agree to the changes.
  9. After the Preinstall Tool completes, click OK.
  10. Click Close and restart your computer.
  11. Open Internet Explorer.
  12. Click Tools, Internet Options, select the Connections tab, and click Lan settings.
  13. Verify the box beside Use proxy server for your LAN is not checked.
  14. Click OK and select the Advanced tab.
  15. Click Reset.
  16. Retry your McAfee installation.

Are you receiving the same error message or a different one ?

Customer replied393 days and 15 hours ago.

I'm receiving the same error message.

Ok..

i am out of ideas. i will kepp this question open for other experts..

Customer replied393 days and 15 hours ago.

I think I know what happen. As I remember, I was able to get the software

downloaded. As I said before, My computer is on a dialup system with my

internet provider, People PC. Com. As you know, a dialup system takes longer

to download software. About two hours or so, an error message came up saying

that the software could not be downloaded. My internet protector is McAfee. They

are having the same problem with my system. I receive web-sites and e-mail. With

this new information, can you or one of your experts help me. I feel at this time the

problem is a McAfee/Just Answer problem holding up the software download. See

what you or one of your experts can do. Thank you.

Hi,

I just got home from work. I have a feeling that McAfee windows security from 2011

which is expired now may be the thing that is holding up the show. I could be wrong

but I feel that somthing on that line may be the problem. Let's see what the

professional can do. Let me know what takes place. Thank You.

Hi,

I have another idea. Is there a way that my current McAfee 1-year AntiVirus Plus subscription and put it together with the AntiVirus software and see if it can be downloaded some way into my computer and fix the McAfee problem. What do you think about that.

Hi,

I think I have an answer for you regarding the software download problem. It seems that I'm having a intermitting windows crash problem. I had that same problem in march and i took the tower to the computer repair shop to have the windows crash problem repaired. Thursday evening the crash problem started in again. Yesterday I called the repair shop and told them that the windows still have a crash problem. I'm going to bring the tower back to the repair shop tomorrow. As soon as I get the tower back from the repair shop, I will try to download the software again. I will let you know what happens. In the meantime tell your Experts about this crash problem. It may have somthing to with the software download problem. Thank you.
