Sophos RMS update problem

Hi,

i have a problem with the sophos rms component. there was a problem with rms on one server, so i completly uninstalled sophos. i rebooted the server and then reinstalled sophos with the enterprise console. everything was installed fine except rms.

i then installed rms by hand from the sophos autoupdate\cache\rms folder, which did work without problems. but when sophos tries to autoupdate itself, it uninstalled rms again and can't install it again.

here is the rms log:

  • i tried your fix with success, until now no problems. thanks!

    i heard back from support, but had in the meantime tried your fix, so i was not able to test their fix. it involved following:

    Navigate to C:\Windows\Installer
    From the menu select view>Choose details
    Select subject and click ok
    Scroll down the list and locate the MSI that relates to the Sophos remote management system subject
    Right click on the msi and select repair
    This should re-add the registry - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\D5001DEF8CBC5D542A88FF7CBB031412
    With the registry key in place carry out the update and it should now remove RMS 3.4.1

    that could have possible worked, if the msi was there, but i cannot verify it anymore
