Fixing Kaspersky’s ‘Failed to install the Application’ Error

If you’ve previously installed and using a Kaspersky product, it is better to remove it fully from your computer even though you’ve uninstalled it successfully.

1. For that, download Kaspersky Removal Tool from here, save to a folder and reboot your computer in safe mode.

Note: kavremover deletes all the activation information of Kaspersky product, so you need to activate the product once again after the installation.

2. Run the tool, once Kaspersky Lab Products Remover launches, select the product from the list which you want to remove completely, enter the code shown on the screen, and click ‘Remove’ button.

3. Wait for a while for the product to be removed, once done, Kavrmvr  informs the operation has been finished and asks to restart your computer.

4. After restart, initiate install of Kaspersky, this time, it will be installed without any issues.
