Installation fails withour Error or Gui

Hi, ime trying to install Sophos Endpoint for the first Time on a pretty fresh Installation of Win 10 1809.

The installation fails within a Second without showing the Gui or an Proper Error in the Logs

There is not Firewall or other AV installed.

 

Here is the Log and a Record of Proccess Monitor in multiply Formats showing everything the installer exe did > mega.nz/

  • Hello  

    Ensure that you have installed all of the current Windows updates on this server.

    Another thing to check, as the new installer checks for certs:
    Open up mmc > File > Add Snap-in > Certificates > Computer account > OK.. OK... OK..
    Expand certificates > Trusted Root Certification Authorities and compare with a machine that does install.  Add any certs that are missing.

    Once added, try installing again.

    Dident work, everything is the same.

    To be sure i deleted every File and Reg Entry containing "Sophos", but that dident help.

     

    BTW, its an Desktop not a Server

  • Hello  

    Send us the newest CloudInstaller log, maybe something has changed in it since the last change you have made?

    EDIT: Also check to see if UAC is set to HIGH. I've seen that that was the issue a couple of times.

     

    Thanks!

  • Thanks,

    UAC is set to the lowest Value.

    Here is the Log, the last Lines seem identical

    Just an Idea, can i maybe run the Stage 2 Installer without the Stage 1 Installer?

    Downloading from http://downloads.sophos.com/full/central/windows/business/installer/latest.tar.gz works fine in my Bowser, just the installer seems to fail

  • Hello  

    That's probably not recommended since Stage 1 also gets information like Management Communications System (MCS) server instance it connects to, a registration token and where to get the stage 2 installer. You might want to check Application Event Logs to see if there are any crashes logged there. Please raise a Support case to have this issue reviewed further, and be ready to provide SDU logs (after gathering all requested logs), a Process Monitor Log (All Events, saved as PML), and possibly a Wireshark capture while running the installation.
