Re-installation of endpoint failed on windows

easter ray
I tried to re-install sophos endpoint on windows
 
but got some error

2019-08-19T08:39:28.0290163Z ERROR : Exception: create_directories(p): invalid argument: operation not permitted
 
not sure if it is due to some remaining files from last installation.
 
any insight would be appreicated!

    Hi Ray,

    I'd check to see if there's any permissions restricting the creation of the Sophos folders in C:\ProgramData\, C:\Program Files\, and C:\Program Files (x86)\.

    Though from the log we might not have enough information to troubleshoot.  Could you provide us with the full install log as well as the name of this log file?

    the file name is "SophosCloudInstaller_20190819_114616".

    Even when I run the installer "run as administrator", still same error : "invalid argument: operation not permitted"

    I could proceed but with a new issue which stop the installation

    It looks to me that the uninstall failed and the return code of 1 cannot be found in docs:
