After several failed attempts to install SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition as a named instance on a PC, it is time to seek help. Said PC has Windows 7, SP1, 64-bit and already has a default instance of SQL Server (2008 R2 Developer) and a named instance of SQL Server (SQL Express). After each failed install of SQL Server 2014 an uninstall was performed to clean up the parts of 2014 that were installed. The Summary file, provided at the end of the latest failed install, shows the following detailed results -

The only thing that's not green in the SystemConfigurationCheck_Report.htm file is this:
Now this PC runs McAfee, which apparently controls Windows Firewall. When the firewall is turned off in McAfee the Windows Firewall screen still says the Windows Firewall is on. I don't see how to turn Windows Firewall off manually on a machine that runs McAfee.
On the latest install attempt, I left the firewall turned on in McAfee and checked the box to allow port 1433 - see screen shot below (in previous install attempts this box was unchecked). This install attempt failed and generated the messages described above.
I am at a loss as to what to try next to get SQL Server 2014 to install. Why isn't it working?
