Failed to install savxp 80041f19

Hi

Sophos antivirus endpoint solution was installed successfully in dozens of machines, except in two.

On those machines, the log  firstly complained about third party software,  the previous antivirus was Microsoft Windows antivirus.

All malware tools were removed. The Windows antivirus was even turned-off manually. 

Nevertheless, the installation error remains (see image in attachment). The installation now comes to an end but there is some sort of malfunction in the software. 

 

Thank you for your help.

  • I am receiving the same error. the avremove.txt file is stating it was unable to uninstall Vipre 7.x, however that AV is currently not installed.

    Here is the log: https://pastebin.com/WW4WFCHQ

  • Hello Mike Baum,

    are you using Central or SESC? AFAIK you don't have many options for the former as opposed to the on-premise version. Apparently TraceLogging was not enabled, it might have told why it thinks removal failed.
    It did run the command in UninstallString (the line with Creating new process) but this returned in less than a second so unlikely that actual removal was attempted by this command. Not clear if AgentUninstallPassword.exe writes a log, if then I assume it'd be in \Windows\Temp

    that AV is currently not installed
    you mean it's not in Programs and Features, or no trace of it on the disk? CRT does detect it and as far as I can see from the CRT data it's found in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall (you should find it by searching for AgentUninstallPassword.exe). If you run the UninstallString command in an elevated cmd window it might tell why it refuses to uninstall.

  • I am using Central for all my deployments. Oddly enough, I could not find AgentUninstallPassword.exe in regedit. There are a lot of instances of Vipre, but the program is removed in Add/Remove programs and I do not see any services running.
