I've got Norton Security Suite but I got that error as well on the first install attempt according to my Update Log Errors ... same error on my laptop and desktop. Following that two instances of the 80240020 error code.

This is something that always pisses me off about MS --- their errors and even the details on their website are worthless. Why can't it just say security error installing, please disable your Security Software and try again....instead it give a cryptic failure and then tries day after day after day to no avail.....totally stupid. Did they not even test this is a real-world scenario?
