vcredist_x86.exe 2008 installation fails on Server with Intercept-X

When installing this old, legitimate Microsoft file on two different Server 2022 machines:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Setup

v 9.0.30729.5677

https://download.microsoft.com/download/5/D/8/5D8C65CB-C849-4025-8E95-C3966CAFD8AE/vcredist_x86.exe

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/8742bcbf24ef328a72d2a27b693cc7071e38d3bb4b9b44dec42aa3d2c8d61d92?nocache=1

Installation fails als long as all Sophos shields are up.

When disabling all engines with self-help tool, installation succeeds. This is true for both machines.

Nothing is logged in Sophos EP GUI.

What Sophos log file should be checked to see what's going on and beeing blocked?

This program setup is required by different software like Lexware financial office pro (latest 2022 version).

Core Agent 2.20.11 BETA
Sophos Intercept X 2.0.24 BETA
Server Protection 10.8.11.4 BETA
Managed Threat Response 2.3.0.68

  • 0x80070643 (WIN32: 1603 ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE) -- 2147944003 (-2147023293) = Fatal error during installation.

    Not too much help. I would suggest see if you have the log files:

    %temp%\dd_vcredistMSI4DBD.txt

    %temp%\dd_vcredistUI4DBD.txt

    I'd probably run Process Monitor at the same time to correlate the log with the events.

    The above files should be in the temp directory of the user that ran the installer. Do they show an issue?  Can you attach them?

  • Hi and thanks for your reply.

    If this is a thinly provisioned volume the physical storage backing this volume has been exhausted.

    Disk full? and when I disable Sophos Endpoint protection, it works...

  • I just tested installing the file on a 2022 server with Sophos Central client installed and it was fine.
    Can you share the full MSI log so I can compare? Thanks.
