McAfee reports that it cannot install the MSN version of software on my system after I "upgraded" to Windows 8 (8.1).  I have tried it several times and gotten the same response.  The software tells me that it cannot install any software for this account.  Sign in with another account.  ???  I have run all the solutions listed below and it will not install.

Anyone else have this issue?  Can anyone help?
