Failed to install savxp: uninstalling an older product failed.

skyisbluescreen

Most likely Post WINDOWS Monthly Patch Installation, Sophos status is broken.

We started the Windows updates rollout this week and already have multiple devices with this issues now.

Ex- This device was all okay once the update was installed and rebooted Sophos events shows this error.

Anyone else with this problem?

    The install is finding a version of Sophos Anti-Virus installed (ProductCode - BEEB46C0-1983-4DF2-AD40-8C464842DF24) which appears to be broken:

    2020-06-15 10:26:49 There is an incomplete SAV installation, forcing a Major Update to recover

    It is then starting the uninstall of it:

    2020-06-15 10:26:58 WARNING: SAV uninstall failed with error 1612

    The issue is, the uninstall is failing with1612, which is ERROR_INSTALL_SOURCE_ABSENT.  So there is no cached MSI for the product code BEEB46C0-1983-4DF2-AD40-8C464842DF24.

    The easiest thing at this point is probably to run SophosZap - https://community.sophos.com/products/endpoint-security-control/b/blog/posts/sophos-zap-is-now-available The alternative is trying to piece together a number of files from another computer.

    Soory to bother you, but ALL services are installed, ale services ARE running - after several reinstall and restarts.

    Only Erro message in CLIENT UI remains.

     

    IF I erase Sophos Health database, error message is missing.  We have repaired cca 10 PCs in this way AND now all our PC/NB have a new version and NO problem.

    I cannot add any info now. Only if the problem appear again I will send you as many logs and details as possible.

     

    Sorry for that - we were in urgent situation to NOT have this error displayed in UI (management requirement).

    Well yes, this method works. But it isn't good way to fix this issue :(
