unexpected problem with the installation of Sophos Endpoint Security and Control

Unable to install latest version of Endpoint Security and Control on Windows 10 (1607) laptop.

I have uninstalled the previous version successfully, turned off Windows firewall, checked for any running Sophos services, tried to run as administrator and domain admin, renamed program files x86 folder to .old then eventually deleted folder, restarted, threw holy water, sacrificed a virgin goat, waved my arms, ate my lunch...still get the same error:

There was an unexpected problem with the installation of Sophos Endpoint Security and Control. Details: Sophos Management Communications System installation failed with error 0x643.

Thanks for any assistance
