Kaspersky Anti Virus 2013 can't be installed : Solved

A few days ago I puchased kaspersky Anti Virus 2013, I have tried to install it, but it cannot be installed after the entire setup is completed. I keep getting error at the end of the Installation which says "Kaspersky AntiVirus 2013 cannot be installed". I have tried all the trouble shooting steps to get that installed by following the below link

My system is running Windows XP Service Pack 3

My computer is neither having any virus not any Antivirus Program. I tried Rescue disk and did all the scanning which took 3-4 hours of my time. All the scanning went in vain.

Next I tried Kaspersky virus Removal Tool, even this failed.

How I solved the Problem Finally :

I downloaded Kaspersky 2012 (older version) from http://www.filehippo.com/download_kaspersky_antivir/

Exact download link : http://www.filehippo.com/download_kaspersky_antivir/10377/

This installation went fine and I successfully installed the application and activated it with my 2013 key.

Hope this saves lot of time for any one out there.
