run CCleaner

& then delete KIS's temp. folder (named kis6) & then run the installer.

reinstall mcafee. reboot. use McAfee Uninstaller. reboot. use ccleaner and manually search for mcafee files/folders on the disk and delete them; do the same in registry using find/findnext.
reboot. now hope kis installs !

thanks friends
I will try everything you said
& ya thanks @ s18000rpm
in my second PC i tried ccleaner & remove Mcafee Bonus Pack from ccleaner & after this kaspersky installed sucessfully

But in my 1st PC I manually deleted all the files & folders & registry entries related to mcafee but it didnt solve the prob
& ccleaner is also not solving in My 1st PC
I will try rest of the options for this
