Update - Failed to install SAVXP: A previous version could not...

Hi...

I'm receving the following in SEC  "00000067 Failed to install SAVXP. A previous version could not be uninstalled"

and in the Sophos Antivirus uninstall log

CustomAction UninstallDriverFiles64Vista returned actual error code -1079 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
MSI (s) (38:30) [10:10:19:389]: Product: Sophos Anti-Virus -- Error 1722.There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action UninstallDriverFiles64Vista, location: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\, command: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\NATIVE.EXE" /lhu "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\SAVONACCESSDRIV.INF"

I read a post recommeding copying NATIVE.EXE from the CIDS directory because it was not there, however I receive the same results.

Any insight would be much appreciated!

  • Hi Christian,

    Thank you. Looks like that key is there and the service is NT\SntpService. I checked the permissions SYSTEMS and Administrators have Full Control, SntPService has read but SAVService is not listed..

  • Hello Peter,

    guess the SAVService permission isn't required at this point but maybe the value is. Please add it and give it a try.

    Christian

  • Hi,

    I'll give it a try.

    Thanks

    Peter

  • Hi QC,

     

    I've the same issue here and will attach my log files here from one of the User's Machine.

  • Hello Faisal,

    hm, it's not obvious what failure has actually been considered as fatal. What does the corresponding Install (or uninstall) log say?
