HOW TO: Install and use OneCare on Windows 7(AT YOUR OWN RISK)

So, I don't recommend this. In fact, given that Microsoft has basically killed off OneCare, I recommend that anyone still using it move over to something else as soon as possible. So with the understanding that I will not, in fact, even try to see if this works, I know there are some out there who actually want this information.

I will pray for you. :)

So, I was testing Windows 7 but really missed OneCare and decided to try to install it. The trick is to make it think you’re using Vista. The problem is that the installer really has a bunch of mini installers so you have to make them all think they’re running on Vista. Also you have to make the main service think it’s running on Vista.
