MSI error - Sophos Anti-Virus -- Configuration failed.

I am having trouble with a machine, it won't update. I have protected again but makes no difference. For some reason it won't let me manually uninstall SAV as it says I am not a Sophos admin, which is not true.

The log file says at the end (Sophos Anti-Virus Major Install Log_121001_100059)

MSI (s) (D4:28) [23:02:50:522]: Note: 1: 1729 MSI (s) (D4:28) [23:02:50:522]: Product: Sophos Anti-Virus -- Configuration failed.

2012-10-01 23:02:50 ERROR: Installation failed

I can't post the whole thing as it is large, and contains sensitive info.

Can anyone help with this please?

Thanks

  • HI,

    I would suggest continuing with the uninstall.

    Is your Windows user account a member of the local "SophosAdministrator" group?  If not add it to that, first and try an uninstall.  Run 

    lusrmgr.msc to add your account the group "SophosAdministrator".

    If it still fails. go into services (services.msc) and stop the Sophos Anti-Virus service, then try an uninstall, does that work?
