Hello,

  • I don`t see any folder in :

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos or C:\ProgramData\Sophos with the credential store.

    I used the CredStore.msi from the sec_552 install folder. But the install is failed.

    What can i do to solve this issue

  • I tried it for the 2nd time and now the installation is successful. 

    This i can find in the store.log
