Sophos Client will not update

David Lambert

We just recently deployed Sophos in a business environment. All went well except two of our machines that when installed the client will not update. We have uninstalled/reinstalled the client on both machines to no effect. Under the central admin console when we try to update it just shows update failed. We have made sure all firewalls are off.

 

Any other suggestions we can try?

    Given:

    SetupDLLManager::Install Failed to install product E17FE03B-0501-4aaa-BC69-0129D965F311 10.7.6.117.

    This would suggest it is failing to install SAV. 

    If you look under: \windows\temp\ you should have a pair of Sophos Installation logs.  You can tell they are a pair given the timestamps in the name.  They start Sophos Anti-Virus....

    I assume one is the MSI log, the other is the Custom Action log file.  Maybe just sort by "Date modified", they are probably at the top, i.e. the most recent files.

    Regards,

    I didn't have an antivirus before this. Unless you count Windows Defender. I'm on windows 10.

     

    Should I try to uninstall the client again and clean the registry good?

    Is there an avremove.log in \windows\temp that will tell us more?
