Previously, I posted with the title "please withdraw this product" because I
kept getting a 0x80070643 error.

Here is the resolution after following everyone's suggestions with no success.

Thanks to everyone who replied: plun, JohnBurns, Bill Sanderson,
bill_is_here, Steve Wechsler, Steve Dodson, Jmonkey

I finally had success !
The problem was quite obscure.

The Application Event Log had the following entry:
Source: MsiInstaller, Event ID: 11327, User: NT Authority\SYSTEM, Error
Product: Windows Defender Signatures -- Error 1327.Invalid Drive: y:\

The Y: drive holds "My Documents" and my Outlook.pst files. This is a mapped
drive on our server which has automatic backups.

So I figured, let me try to install it from an administrator account which
does not have any mapped drives. Unfortunately same error! So now I'm really
mad, and decide to go nuclear.

I pull out my trusty Registry Cleaner and find some references to the Y:
drive even for this other user. Kaboom! Blasted those entries clear to Mars.

Now it installs like a kitten and updates and we're all good to go.

Thanks again.
 
Thanks for the laugh today, I needed it. Glad to see you have a great sense
of humour -- do you think they're finding those files useful out there on
Mars...?! Yes, it's a good product, isn't it?
