Failed to install savxp: 80041f19 error

i have 4-5 windows 7 pro machines with the following error after migrating to sophos central.

 

Failed to install savxp: 80041f19.

 

some of the services are not installed at all.

only the following are installed with green ticks.

  • Sophos MCS Agent
  •  Sophos File Scanner Service
  •  Sophos AutoUpdate Service
  •  Sophos MCS Client
  •  Sophos Safestore Service
  •  Sophos System Protection Service
  •  Sophos Endpoint Defense
  •  Sophos Network Threat Protection
  •  Sophos Clean Service
  •  HitmanPro Alert service

is it due to existing AV software on the machines.

i tried on one machine to uninstall everything and then re-install but it still fails to install completely

  • I would suggest run in an admin prompt:

    C:\Windows\system32\\MsiExec.exe /X {D9FCBAAE-DB72-488B-96D0-0AA3C892C0D6} /q REBOOT=ReallySuppress /L*V %temp%\log.txt

    Then take/make available %temp%\log.txt

  • This is the fatal error:

    MSI (s) (90:E4) [09:40:06:662]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\windows\Installer\MSI925F.tmp, Entrypoint: MpUninstallDriver

    CustomAction UninstallMpFilterDriver returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)

    I don't have this software to check, but I assume this is a a file system mini filter.

    0x8007041b (WIN32: 1051 ERROR_DEPENDENT_SERVICES_RUNNING) -- 2147943451 (-2147023845)
    0x800705b4 (WIN32: 1460 ERROR_TIMEOUT) -- 2147943860 (-2147023436)

    Maybe have a Google for others where this MpUninstallDriver Custom Action has failed with similar error codes.

  • is there any other way to install successfully ?

  • Well the issue is with the uninstall of the other product.  You might be able to "hide" its presence from the Sophos installer.

    Where it say:
    26 Jul 2018 20:36:58 Info: Operating system is 64-bit: True
    26 Jul 2018 20:36:58 Info: Detected Microsoft Security Client version 4.5.x, 4.8.0204.0

    presumably it's looking in the registry under:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

    or


    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

    for the product "Microsoft Security Client" if you can find it, you could rename the registry key to hide it and then attempt a re-install.

    A Process Monitor would reveal what is being found.

    Jak

  • have checked through the above mentioned registry key.

    i cannot find anythng related to microsoft secrity client 

  • Looking in:

    C:\ProgramData\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Cache\decoded\savxp\crt\data.zip\ProductCatalog.xml

    I see:
    <subproduct Version="4.5.x, 4.8.0204.0" DisplayName="Microsoft Security Client" KeyName="{D9FCBAAE-DB72-488B-96D0-0AA3C892C0D6}" ProductClass="av" PostRemoveScript="MSSSPostRemove.xml"/>

    Do you have:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\D9FCBAAE-DB72-488B-96D0-0AA3C892C0D6}

    or

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\D9FCBAAE-DB72-488B-96D0-0AA3C892C0D6}

    Otherwise, I would run Process Monitor to work out what is being found.

    Regards,
    Jak

  • yes, think i found it here.

     

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\D9FCBAAE-DB72-488B-96D0-0AA3C892C0D6}

     

    so after removing this key, how should i re-install the endpoint ?

  • I would just rename the key it for now and then re-run the installer.


    This will "hide" the product from the CRT of Sophos.

    Jak

  • managed to solved the issue after removing the highlighted key.
