Failed installation of Kaspersky Internet Security 2010

Hey, there!

I really want to install Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 but whenever I try to run the installation, I keep getting this error:

“Error 1606: Could not access network location%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Start MenuProgramsAdministrative Tools.”

It comes in a pop up window when I run the installation package in my PC. By the way, I am using Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3.  I used to have Norton Antivirus 2009 but I already uninstalled it manually.

I have gone looking online for the answers and my search led me to these two sites: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315352 and  http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/sunse…_nam&seg=ag. Both suggested that I check all the registry for errors but they seem okay to me. 

Can anyone help me find a solution? 

Thank you!

 10. Once in Find dialog box, in Find What box, type the following:

      55EB66EFB74A75B4D9E26680831FE059

Hi,
If you want to use a new Internet security you have to uninstall the previous version of the Internet security.
Once you do that, follow the right instructions to install the new version.
If you use "One pc" package you will be able to install the Internet security in one computer only.
You can't copy that for another computer ( it's only for one hard disk drive). 
So be sure about that.
 Thanks.
