SAV installation error

User tried to install Sophos 9.7 over 9.5 on a WinXP computer, but for some reason, the software appeared not to be updated (still showing 9.5).  Then uninstalled Sophos, deleted all the folders (C:\Program Files\Sophos..., C:\Windows\Temp\..., etc), and removed everything appeared to be associated with "sophos" in the registry. When tried to re-install Sophos 9.7 after restarting the computer, all the packages could be downloaded and autoupdate seemed to be installed, but the process always failed during "Starting Sophos Anti-virus for Windows 2000+ setup..." (every time when using "Update now"). So basically the AV part couldn't be installed. Any suggestions will be much appreaciated.

This is the Sophos Anti-Virus Install Log: (Sorry for the long posts; it looks there is no way to add an attachment)

  • Hello msima,

    looks like RegisterBufferOverflowProtection failed. There should be a corresponding Sophos Anti-Virus CustomActions Log_ <timestamp>.txt file which probably contains some details.

  • Probably the remains of a failed install. Check the permissions in the registry, especially the AppInit_DLLs or its parents. Very likely that permissions are corrupt.

  • You are right. It looks the system might be tampered with. The owership/full control of Administrators and/or SYSTEM to the AppInit_DLLs key and HKLM/Software/Classes in the registry was removed. After restoring all these, the SAV was successfully re-installed. Thanks.

  • Hello msima,

    It looks the system might be tampered with

    not necessarily - I've never investigated in detail but I think it's "just" an effect of an interrupted installer (msiexec) run (and not only seen in conjunction with Sophos). Good it worked though (and please mark the solution - it might help others).

  • I had this exact problem on one pc and tried multiple suggestions found around the web, but it was: http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/57500.aspx which proved to move my focus onto the actual cause and.. my fix. It referenced the following registry keys: 32 Bit operating systems: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows 64 bit operating systems HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows I noticed on the pc that was giving me the trouble that the 'Windows' key was missing on the pc that was having the problem with installing the Sophos Anti-Virus, so I created it and ensured Administrators and System had full control on the key. Then simply did an 'update now' using the sophos system tray shield (after it not working before to install), and the update ran through flawlessly. One fully up to date pc with the sophos antivirus now working. Hope this helps others as it had me >.< this close to an operating system rebuild to cure. J

  • TLDR version: Use reg edit and browse to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion and then create a key inside 'CurrentVersion' called 'Windows' (without the ' ) For 64 bit operating systems HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows &/or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows are the keys you may need to create. Sure fixed my problem, hope it helps others who've found this issue. First time i'd come across it, and only found the problem while fixing another fault on the same pc.
