Start main dialog failed

[Mrwilson]

This morning, Kaspersky failed to load on startup.  So I downloaded the installation file from MyKaspersky. I tried to run the installation file, but all that happened is the error message “ Start main dialog failed “. What can I do to get this installed?

 

I have restarted the computer before trying to install the file

Windows 10, up to date

@Mrwilson Welcome.

It has been 8 hours. Windows will not uninstall Internet Security. Kaspersky has shut off all network activity. I am now on a second computer, and my only alternative will be to manually delete Kaspersky from the computer. This is the 3rd time this has happened. Kaspersly also will not let me use system restore

I have managed to remove Internet Security from the computer. However, I still cannot Re-install the program. I still get the “Start main dialog failed” error

Solved. I had corrupt system files
