AutoUpdate Failure

Noah Doten

A few of our endpoint computers are having trouble with the AutoUpdate feature. I have tried to manually update but that fails too. Please advise. Thank you.

    Hello Noah Doten,

    the more verbose ALUpdate log (in %ProgramData%\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Logs\) should have more details why it fails to download from Sophos. Are these stand-alone installations?

    Thanks for the reply. Attached the log for you. It is a server-based install.

    Hello Noah Doten,

    strange - and I must admit I have overlooked the AutoUpdate install error..
    Strange because the ALUpdate has a gap and jumps from 09:39:03 to 09:39:37 which is expected as it attempts to install an update. The updating log in your original post shows a download error during this gap and furthermore that it failed to download from Sophos - whereas the ALUpdate log shows only successful UNC connections.

    The above looks as if two logs were merged or two AutoUpdate processes were running in parallel - note the process IDs. There's no indication of the download error in the ALUpdate log you've shown.

    As for the AutoUpdate install error: You should find the log in %windir%\Temp\.

    Hello Noah Doten,

    seems to be the Sophos AutoUpdate 5.nn.nnn setup log, is there also a Sophos AutoUpdate 5.nn.nnn install log?
    Error 6 is The handle is invalid, a possible reason is the the cached MSI required for uninstallation of the current version is missing. In the install log (if it is there) there should be a line like
    Original package ==> C:\Windows\Installer\xxxxxxxx.msi
    where xxxxxxxx are hex digits. This is a cached copy of the AutoUpdate.msi from the currently installed version. If it's indeed missing you'll find a corresponding message in one of the following lines. You'd need the relevant AutoUpdate.msi(1) and copy it as the xxxxxxxx.msi the Installer is expecting.

    (1) if you don't have the older MSI lying about somewhere you need to add a subscription in your SUM for the appropriate version.

    Hey Christian, Sorry for the late response. Does this confirm your suspicion? Thanks again for your help.

    Hello Noah Doten,

    as expected:

    Warning: Local cached package 'C:\Windows\Installer\14f0488.msi' is missing

    it looks for the previous AutoUpdate.msi, usually the Installer caches a package to facilitate uninstall in case it has been removed from or overwritten in the original location. Can't say why it has apparently disappeared. As you can see the Installer then tries the original location, the package there is the new one though so the uninstall fails.

    As said, you can solve it by supplying the appropriate package - or should I say could? AFAIK Productcode {7CD26A0C-9B59-4E84-B5EE-B386B2F7AA16} indicates an AutoUpdate 4.x version, part of SESC 10.6.x which is no longer available. thus the endpoints must have shown these errors for quite some time.

    So there is no way I can install the missing msi?
