SAV Installation Error

Hi all,

we unfortunately encounter the following situtaion on several of our PCs:

in the Enterprise Console we see several PCs with Update-Error saying that SAVXP could not have been installed, the MSI could not have been executed (translated from the original German error-meesage).

The Anti Virus Major Install Log displays the following:

MSI (s) (30:88) [08:37:59:478]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\Windows\Installer\MSIFD91.tmp, Entrypoint: UpdateSAVI
MSI (s) (30:18) [08:37:59:944]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=SetFolderPermissions,,)
MSI (s) (30:18) [08:37:59:945]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=SetFolderPermissions,ActionType=1025,Source=BinaryData,Target=SetFolderPermissions,CustomActionData=C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\)
MSI (s) (30:6C) [08:37:59:946]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\Windows\Installer\MSIFF66.tmp, Entrypoint: SetFolderPermissions
CustomAction SetFolderPermissions returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
MSI (s) (30:18) [08:37:59:957]: User policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0
MSI (s) (30:18) [08:37:59:957]: Machine policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0
Action ended 8:37:59: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.

The Custom Actions Log displays:

2014-03-10 08:37:59 SetFolderPermissions: Action started
2014-03-10 08:37:59 SetFolderPermissions: AddSpecifiedPermissionsToKey Unable to open registry key Software\Sophos\SAVService\PP (00000002)
2014-03-10 08:37:59 SetFolderPermissions: Add permissions to SavService\PP failed (0x80070002)
2014-03-10 08:37:59 SetFolderPermissions: Action failed

I've searched the internet a long time but couldn't find any hints.

Any help is apreciated.

BR,

Michael

  • Hello Michael,

    good to hear it worked.

    the Fix-IT Tool ... uninstalled SophosAV completely

    To obviate the common misconception - the tool does not uninstall. It removes the Installer information for this product.  And I deliberately refrain from saying just the Installer information. It is important that you immediately afterwards not only reinstall the (same version of the) product but also apply any service that was applied before - and if your intention was uninstall only then you can (and should be able to) do so. As the tool does not remove any items (especially files) not part of the installer database as well as potentially present DB items where the linkage has been lost because of the underlying error the system's state is inconsistent after running the tool.
