Failed to install Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows: 8000ffff

Sophos User4475

I have a remote user trying to install Sophos on their laptop. It's errored out every time. The error message is "Failed to install Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows: 8000ffff" . I've un-installed, rebooted, re-installed. Same error. Not sure what to do next.

    Hi There,

    Can you share with us the install logs, which can be found on "C:\ProgramData\Sophos\CloudInstaller\Logs"?

    Sorry for the delay. The user this is happening to is a remote user. She just sent the log file now. It's quite large. Should I copy/paste it here?
