Hello Vickneshwari Reddy,

strange. You should find the log in your %temp% directory. Just type %temp% in the Explorer address bar or the search from the Start button.

Log.zip Here is the log file.

Hello Vickneshwari Reddy,

seems that some version of Sophos Anti-Virus is already installed. SophosInstall tries to remove it but fails with error 3005 (please see the linked article).

Christian

hii Christian 

There is not a single file of sophos present in "Add\Remove program" .

Hello Vickneshwari Reddy,

did you ever install Sophos before as it claims it has found an old installation? And did you check your group membership as per the article?

If I read the log correctly the reportedly installed product is {6C44AB65-918A-483C-9AF5-83D71D78A8B2}. If this is caused by some leftovers (you say it doesn't appear to be actually installed) please see this thread (although in conjunction with the Home product it should apply as well).

hi chritian

As per the article i have check there no groups . But in the article they told create one group i did it with cmd

1.created the Group as sophos administrator .

2.Gone through all the steps as mention in the article it does not worked . 

In the second solution which is given  i got the key i have exported and than i have deleted it but the second step HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\56BA44C6A819C3845FA9387DD1878A2B i didnt got this key.

Hello Vickneshwari Reddy,

not all keys necessarily exist. Actually these are two formats of the product code used in different places, it's sufficient that the code exists in one of the places for the install to fail. Did you retry the install, if not please do so. If it fails again post the latest logs.

Error.zipHi Christian

This is the new log .Failed again the same error

Hello Vickneshwari Reddy,

the same error
on the surface, yes. Looks like you've solved the 3005. This time it actually commenced the uninstall. Just noticed that I've made an error, the key under UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\ should be 56BA44C6A819C384A95F387DD1878A2B. Sorry, my bad. Just noticed that the error is already in the linked article [:$] ... corrected it.
